Details:
Age 4 & up
Recreational gymnastics is considered more of an activity than a sport. Children can learn gymnastics and varying levels of skills without the competitive edge or extreme conditioning aspect. Recreational gymnastics is a program designed to allow students to reach their fullest potential at their own pace, while developing strength, coordination, flexibility, and confidence.
