Gymnastics (Youth)

Classes are structured around sequential gymnastic progressions.  Students develop body and spatial awareness, coordination, balance, strength, flexibility and self-confidence.  The gymnastics program is taught by a team of caring and dedicated instructors under the direction of a Coordinator certified by USA Gymnastics. 
*Equipment will vary according to location.
$74 – 8 weeks

During class, parents are asked to remain in designated observation areas in order to limit distractions. The final class period of each session will consist of a “showcase” for parents and friends so that students can demonstrate their newly acquired skills.

Munchkins in Motion
This class is designed for children ages 18 months to 3 years and their parent or an accompanying adult.  The class will introduce very young children to physical fitness activities, particularly gymnastics.  Students will participate in activities on the floor exercise mats, balance beam, bars (where available) and vault, in addition to participating in locomotor and creative movement activities.

Tumble Tots
This class is an introductory course in gymnastics for independent children ages 3-5.  Students will learn basic tumbling skills as well as fundamentals on balance beam, bars (where available) and vault.  Emphasis is placed on improving locomotor skills, counting, following verbal directions and other developmentally appropriate activities, while preparing participants to progress toward our beginner gymnastics class level.

Tumbling Only
This class is designed for students who are interested in learning the tumbling and floor exercise skills of gymnastics without having to take a full gymnastics class.

Beginner Gymnastics
This class is designed for beginning gymnasts, aged 6 and up, with little or no gymnastics experience.  Students will learn sequential skill progressions on all Olympic events including vault, bars (where available), balance beam and floor exercise, as well as increasing their strength and flexibility.

Boys Gymnastics
This class is designed specifically for boys aged 6 and up.  Students will be evaluated and grouped according to skill level.  The class emphasizes sequential skill progressions in all Olympic events including rings, pommel horse and high bar, as well as strength and flexibility.

Advanced Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced Gymnastics
This class is designed for children, aged 6 and up, with some previous gymnastics experience.  Students must demonstrate basic skills learned in the beginner level.  This class focuses on complex beginning skills, while preparing the gymnast to progress to the Intermediate and Advanced Levels.  Intermediate and Advanced classes merge skills from the lower levels to form more difficult combinations, while continuing to learn higher-level skills.
