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 with Parent require a parent or other adult caregiver to participate in class with the child. For other classes such as Jumping Beans and Tumbling Tykes, 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. Gymnasts will be tested three times per year (May, August, December) to determine skill progression. Should a gymnast demonstrate mastery of skills prior to testing, the gymnast will be invited to the next level by their instructor. If you are unsure of your child’s level, please call 630.554.4061 to set up an evaluation.

Participating on one of our teams is a lot of fun, but also requires serious commitment from both the athlete and his or her family. Gymnasts will learn life skills such as goal setting and achievement, persistence, and determination.

We compete USAG or Excel for girls and USAG boys. Team selections are made every May. If you are interested in competing, email Jen McFall or call 630.554.4061 to see if your child would be eligible.
