Parent-led Open Gym

Ages: Birth-6 years

Come enjoy this OPEN GYM with your littlest gymnast. This is not an instruction class. Parents are responsible for their own children during this class and MUST be with them at  all times. Different stations and mats will be set up for your little one to explore and be introduced to gymnastics. Hang and swing on the low bar, jump in the foam pit, walk across the beam, tumble around on the floor and explore all that gymnastics has to offer. 

Instructed class with parent included

Ages: 1-5

This is an instruction class with your child. You and your child will be led in group stretching, games, and introduced to basic gymnastics skills such as forward rolls, walking on the beam and swinging on the bar. 

Ages: 4-6 years old

Basic tumbling and apparatus skills will be taught in a fun environment. Parents are welcome to watch from the bleachers. When your gymnast is 6.5 or first grade, we welcome you to register your gymnast for Beginners.
