BUILDING CONFIDENCE

Gymnastics Classes for Kids & Teens

Through gymnastics, we help to foster self-esteem and stress the importance of our core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

Your little one can progress from entry level tumbling – learning skills like forward rolls and handstands – to our higher level classes for kids and teens, which include learning beam and bar techniques, and more advanced floor tumbling like back handsprings and tucks. Gymnasts will learn and refine techniques and skills through appropriate level progression, as well as build confidence and exercise self-expression.

SOMERSET VALLEY YMCA GYMNASTICS TEAM

Something to Flip For

Our gymnastics program is dedicated to the total development of each gymnast, with proper learning progressions and teaching the correct form and techniques of all gymnastic skills. The development of self-confidence, as a result of successful, fun, learning experiences, is as much a part of our goal as is the development of real gymnastics skills.

Our goal for this program is to create great gymnasts in a fun, stress-free environment. With an emphasis on safety, our philosophy is that well-trained coaches that genuinely care, can help an athlete become exceptional without over practicing and giving up other things in life that are important. Our gymnastics team has always said athletes first, winning second, and with a family-feel, we are proud of this mantra and our program.
