The YMCA uses gymnastics to give each individual the opportunity to develop his or her potential as a total person - mentally, physically and emotionally. Participants are encouraged to gain self-confidence, develop personal responsibility and leadership, and learn to work together with respect for the rights of others.  The YMCA gymnastics instructors want your children to learn and have fun. 

Each child works at their own pace and, with the help of an instructor, will advance on their own.  We see each child as a special individual who can grow in caring, honesty, respect and responsibility through this program. 

The YMCA combines several components into each of the following levels:
 

Rollers 

This is an introduction to gymnastics class for beginners with little or no gymnastics experience.  Learn body positions, running and jumping drills, beam, floor, and vault.  Includes games and activities to learn coordination and locomotor skills.

Swingers

Classes are suitable for those students who have already been acquainted with the basic gymnastics skills (Rollers) such as handstands, cartwheel, pullover, cast and back hip circle etc.  Mastering and performing those elements with proper form and amplitude is the main goal at this point.
 

Kippers & Flyers

A program to build a stronger foundation of basic gymnastics skills, strength, speed, flexibility, body shapes, movement, large and small motor skills and personality.  Learn more advanced skills, such as handspring drills on vault, cartwheels on beam, and back bend kickovers.
