Gymnastics
...for strong, confident, flexible kids
Teams
Team - Ages 5 & Up: With a priority of helping your child feel successful developing skills and accomplishing personal goals, our Gymnastics Team participates in Levels 2 through 9, where each child is challenged according to her own ability. Competition is based on level and age group; each gymnast learns a routine or skill set to perform and compete with at scheduled meets. The Gymnastics Team is a full program-year commitment. Parents can choose to pay in a monthly payment plan or pre-pay at the start of the year. There are also bartering opportunities. If this is your first year to consider the team, you will receive payment information at the Team Evaluation Day or you can request it at the Front Desk. Gymnasts must be Facility Members to be on Team.
