This developmental programs places an emphasis on fun, fitness and fundamentals with a goal of developing basic gymnastics abilities and skills. Classes are appropriate for children who are ready for more challenge and enjoy gymnastics year round.
We strive to foster a love for the sport while developing basic abilities on each of the apparatus. Goals of this program are to develop strength, flexibility and solid fundamental skills in a fun and encouraging environment
Enrollment is by invitation; a skills assessment is required.

efforts of our volunteers and fundraising events we are self
supporting. Please support our fundraisers.
