Gymnastics

Preschool Gymnastics

We offer many classes for little ones ages six months to 5 years where basic gymnastic skills are taught and healthy, active play is encouraged. The kids will enjoy the Tumbl Trak, trampoline, foam pits and a wide variety of gymnastic equipment. Come Play With Me, and Tumbling Tots require an adult caregiver to participate in class with the child. Tumbling Tykes should be able to use restroom independently or parents are asked to stay in the building.

Youth Gymnastics

Boys and girls will be taught skills based on the USA Gymnastics’ level 1-4 curriculum. Gymnastics is a progressive sport that requires consistent repetition in order to advance. All skills must be mastered to safely move to the next level. A skill is mastered when it can be performed consistently with proper form. Participants should register for consecutive sessions of their current level until evaluations are distributed in May, August and December. If you are unsure of your child’s level or it has been more than one session since your child participated, please call Brieanne at 630.554.4456 to set up an evaluation. View the Level Up Flyer for a list of shills needed for your child to level up. View the Level Up Flyer for a list of skills needed for your child to level up.
