Preschool Gymnastics Classes (all preschool classes are 45 minutes long)

USAG safety guidelines are incorporated into all our classes.

Parent/Toddler

My Friend and Me   (walking - 3 1/2 years)

Hanging, swinging, rolling, balancing and jumping are all fun ways to develop gross-motor skills. Your toddler will especially love playing in the gym with you and all the special activities we have in store. Circle time brings songs, finger play, parachute play and bubbles into the fun along with social interaction. As children reach the older classes, we begin to focus on a smooth transition to our preschool gymnastics classes.

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.
