Our Girls Recreational Program is designed to help gymnasts build confidence, strength, and skills in a fun, encouraging environment. Each class builds on the previous one, so gymnasts are placed where they can be successful and continue progressing.
Each class level includes a wide variety of skills and progressions on all four events (bars, beam, floor, and vault). Because there is lots to learn, most gymnasts spend multiple years in the same class level. Gymnasts have to learn certain skills and improving technique before moving to the next class. Advancement is based on skill mastery—not age or how long they have been in that level.
