New to Gymnastics? Start with the Basics!

If your student is new to gymnastics, we’ve got the perfect classes to get them moving, learning, and having fun! Our foundational classes are designed for beginners, focusing on building confidence, coordination, and basic skills.

Beginner Classes

  • Preschool Gymnastics: For kids walking through 5 years old, these classes are a playful introduction to movement and gymnastics fundamentals.
  • Girls Level 1: Foundations Gymnastics: Perfect for girls aged 6+, this class introduces the basics of gymnastics, including bars, beam, vault, and floor events.
  • Boys Level 1 Gymnastics: A dynamic class for boys aged 6+, focusing on basic gymnastics skills and strength-building activities.
  • Beginner Tumbling: For kids aged 6+, this class teaches fundamental tumbling skills like rolls, cartwheels, and handstands.

These beginner classes are open to everyone—no prior experience or coach evaluation required. All that’s needed is a willingness to explore, learn, and have fun!


Does Your Student Have Prior Experience or Existing Skills? Get an Evaluation!

If your student has previous gymnastics experience or has been practicing at home, an evaluation is a great way to ensure they’re placed in the right class. Our experienced coaches will assess their abilities and recommend the best program to match their skill level. This ensures your student is appropriately challenged and engaged while staying safe.

Evaluations are available on a drop-in basis—just stop by the gym during our open hours and let the front desk know you’d like an evaluation.

Who Should Get an Evaluation?

  • Students with gymnastics or tumbling experience.
  • Students ready to move beyond beginner classes.
  • Students aged 4-5 interested in advanced programs like Rising Stars or Tumble Stars.

Why Evaluations Matter

Evaluations help place your student in the class that fits their needs, enabling them to progress with confidence without feeling overwhelmed or under-challenged.


Choosing the right gymnastics class for your student doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether they’re just starting out or have prior experience, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. We’re dedicated to helping your student build skills, gain confidence, and have fun in the process.
