GYMNASTICS
Gymnastics is a progressive sport and each gymnast develops skills at his or her own pace. Grouping children by age allows them to work on their skills in an environment where they feel comfortable and safe. Coaches will work with your child at his or her individual skill level, and will notify you if your child is ready to move to a more advanced class. If you have any questions or concerns about which class to register for, please call the gymnastics buiding (402)379-2633 and leave a message for Beth.
PLEASE NOTE If the class that you want to register for is full, please ask to be put on the waiting list. We will open additional classes as needed, and will make every effort to find a space for your little gymnastics star!
