The use of the trampoline, spring floor, and foam pits makes learning fun and exciting. The classes are divided by skill level. The intermediate and advanced classes are by instructor recommendation only. 

Children ages 4 and up will have a fun experience learning all about gymnastics!. Activities and lessons are individualized to give each child a chance to develop to his/her potential. Boys and girls ages 7 and up are divided into separate groups for instruction as boys use different equipment than girls do. For ages 4-6, we offer a co-ed beginners group. This class is only offered in the Fall, Winter and Spring sessions.
