GYMNASTICS

YMCA Gymnastics teaches children gymnastics skills, confidence, coordination, flexibility and strength. 

High Energy Fun! Our YMCA Gymnastics Program is for girls and boys of all ages, with adult programs as well.  

​

All classes are taught in a fun, safe environment using progressive skill instruction on gymnastics equipment.  Every class emphasizes balance, strength, coordination along with positive encouragement from our Y teaching staff.  Not only do we teach your child the fundamentals of gymnastics, we also focus on the YMCA’s character development traits of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility.   

​

YMCA Gymnastics is available to both members and non-members. 

​

High Energy Fun! Our YMCA Gymnastics Program is for girls and boys ages three through Kindergarten. It’s an exciting activity where children develop and enhance their gross motor skills needed for kindergarten testing. We use fun gymnastics obstacle courses. Basic gymnastics skills are taught on the floor, bars, beam and vault.
