Rec Gymnastics Program Information
We have a wide variety of recreational & competitive programs available for children ages 6 months to 17 years old. When students are 5 years or younger, we place them into classes based on their age due to the differences in physical & mental development stages in athletes. Once the athlete turns 6 years old, they are able to move to our large floor with athletes of ages 6 & older & the class they are in is then based on skill level.
Please see the details of each level below & if you are interested in signing up click the "Sign Up Now" button.
