(walking - 3 years)
These classes offer toddlers a chance to explore the gym with you! The
mats provide a variety of sensory experiences, while the
equipment allows you to expose them to the joy of hanging,
swinging, balancing, rolling, and more! Circle time brings
songs, finger play, parachute play, and bubbles into the fun.
Older children begin following circuits in preparation for our
preschool gymnastics classes.

Children enjoy learning gymnastics in the caring, fun environment
offered at the YMCA. Age-appropriate gymnastics activities utilize
the vault, uneven bars, and balance beams, as well as special mats
and equipment for developing skills, incorporating safety into each
event. The ever-changing circuits in our gymnastics classes are
designed to help young children refine gross motor movements while
improving strength, balance, and coordination.

Youth Gymnastics
Classes
|

Providing the foundation
for fitness and the fundamentals of movement, gymnastics prepares a child
for participation in all sports and provides lifelong benefits to its
participants. Increasing strength, coordination, body and spatial
awareness, flexibility and perseverance, the accomplishments achieved in
class contribute to a healthy self-esteem. Our classes
utilize the YMCA of the USA Progressive Skills Program beginning with
Rollers. This enables budding gymnasts to work on skills in all four
events of women's gymnastics while supporting growth within the Character
Development standards:
Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. |

Big Top
Gymnastics
All
ages and skill levels!! The Circus is coming to town! Clowns,
tight-rope walkers, circus animals - who do you want to be?
This is your chance to be a part of the fun! Using
the gymnastics equipment and mats (and a little imagination), we'll turn the gym into a "big top!"
This class would be a great opportunity for an
entire family -- siblings and parents having fun together! We'll work on stunts and devise 'daring'
acts, create costumes, make tickets (to give to friends and family), AND after all the preparation,
we'll top it off with an actual 'circus' performance.
