Preschool classes

Our Recreational Program is for girls aged 5 & up and is based off of skill level. Unfortunately, we do not have a Boys' gymnastics program past our  co-ed preschool program.

Keep in mind, it's ok if your child needs to do the same level multiple sessions. Remember, each child works at a different pace. Some skills come easily, and some take more time! When your child is ready to move up, she will receive a move-up certificate or your child's coach will let you know. Otherwise, please register for the same level.

If your child has previous gymnastics experience, please set up a time for a quick evaluation!

Recreational classes

Fantastic 4s

This 55 minute co-ed class is for children 4 & 5 year olds and leads into our Recreational Program. Children will be encouraged to master progressively more difficult gymnastics skills. They also continue to experience strength training in the form of Tumbltrak, Loose-foam pit play and trench slide stations.

Tumble buddy 2s

This 45-minute class co-ed is designed for children 18 months-3 years old and requires ONE active buddy--parent, caregiver, etc (no additional babies or siblings are allowed in class). As an introductory class in movement education, children begin to develop physical strength and coordination, as well as balance and agility at an early age.  But the greatest aspect of this class is the interaction between buddies and their children.
