Young's has the premier recreational gymnastics program in the area. Our kid friendly facility and atmosphere, combined with our exceptional program and teaching staff, make our recreational gymnastics program the best around. In business for over 15 years primarily as a recreational gymnastics program, our reputation speaks for itself. The recreational gymnastics classes at Young's have been at full capacity for several years now in large part to the "word of mouth" advertising of our satisfied customers! Below you will find a brief description of the many classes that we have to offer:

PARENT AND TOT CLASSES

Busy Bodies for children 18 months to 3 1/2 years old

One parent per child is required to attend classes. We ask that no more than one adult per child participate. Too many parents makes our floor over crowded and we have other classes to consider.

These classes focus on teaching toddlers how to follow basic instructions, listening, and taking turns in group play. The children will, with assistance, be introduced to basic tumbling skills and loco-motor skills, as well as the gymnastics apparatus including the balance beam, bars, floor, and trampoline. We enjoy keeping our busy bodies wiggling and giggling as they are introduced to gymnastics at Young’s!

GIRLS AND BOYS GYMNASTICS CLASSES

The following classes are offered AT ALL LEVELS according to the child’s age:

	Tiny Tots		3 1/2 & 4 year olds (Co-Ed)		Super Tots		5 & 6 year olds (Co-Ed)
	Super Girls		7 to 9 years old		Boys		5 years old and up
	Pre-Teen Girls		10 years old and up

Students in these classes will develop gymnastics skills utilizing all the gymnastics apparatus including the uneven bars, balance beam, floor, vault, and trampoline. Our curriculum at Young’s focuses on building upon basic skills to perfect and learn new, more challenging skills. As students remain with us year after year, there is consistently a review of previously learned skills while new skills are being taught.

Our mission is for all of our students to know the feeling of success by being able to correctly demonstrate learned gymnastics skills and to show marked improvement in strength, flexibility, and locomotor skills. As Young’s is a recreational gymnastics facility, all students can enjoy classes without the undue pressure of competitive gymnastics. Students can experience learning gymnastics in a safe environment, which promotes teamwork and respect among its students and staff. Come join the gymnastics fun at Young’s!

TUMBLING CLASSES

At Young’s, we know the demand for tumbling skills has become more essential with the explosive growth of All-Star cheerleading, and is always essential in gymnastics! Students can learn and perfect their tumbling skills under the instruction of our qualified staff in one of the 5 levels of tumbling classes that we offer. Evaluations are REQUIRED to determine a student’s placement into one of the 5 tumbling levels (NO Evaluation required for Level 1 or Level 2).

We realize that the majority of tumbling students are mainly interested in learning tumbling skills essential for the sport of cheerleading today: Backhandspring, Round Off Backhandspring, Round Off Backhandspring Back Tuck, etc. For that reason, the focus of our tumbling classes is geared with that goal in mind. Although there are many skills listed below for each level, skills and progressions will be taught with the intention of mastering the power tumbling skills required for today's cheerleaders.

Each level along with its respective skills are as follows:
