Connecting young people to their potential, purpose, and each other.

Gymnastics training provides an excellent foundation in physical fitness, emphasizing the development of strength, flexibility, coordination, and sharpened motor skills while also learning the fundamentals of movement through gymnastics. All gymnasts will grow at their own pace with encouragement and positive reinforcement from YMCA's experienced teaching staff. Besides gymnastic skills, gymnasts in the YMCA program gain self-esteem and confidence, better listening skills, attention to detail, and friendship. Our YMCA gymnastics program has many class and competitive team offerings. Choose what works with your family's schedule and your child's skill level.
 
 
2024-2025 School Year program registration opens August 12th, 7:00am for members and August 14th, 8:30am for program members. 

After August 14 anyone can register at any time throughout the 2024-2025 School Year Session (September-May) & when there is an opening in the class, you will start right away. No more waiting for the next session to start. If the program/class is full, we suggest you join the waitlist. This will allow our program directors to add more of the high demand classes or put you in line for when a spot opens up for that program/class.

Monthly Recurring Classes

Competitive Gymnastics

Countryside YMCA's girls' competitive gymnastics team program allows gymnasts to take their gymnastics experience to a competitive level. The goal of this program is for every gymnast to reach their potential through competitive gymnastics. The YMCA gymnastics team competes at local, state, regional, and national levels. The gymnasts range in age from 6 to 18 and compete levels 3-9 and Xcel levels. In addition, the team follows the USA Gymnastics Jr. Olympic Program. Participation is open to members only.

Although gymnasts compete individually, they are considered a part of the YMCA's competitive gymnastics team. Team members learn:

  • -The value and reward of hard work: Competitive gymnastics requires dedication and a passion for the sport.
  • -How to be a team player: Team members are a source of encouragement, motivation, and support.
  • -Good sportsmanship: Team members learn that treating other gymnasts with respect is of the utmost importance.

Along the way, our gymnasts forge lifelong friendships while improving their gymnastics skills and developing a sense of community. Of course, competitive gymnastics is also an excellent way to keep your child physically active while doing something they love. Our gymnasts are placed in programs based on their ability and age, so they may learn, grow and succeed.

Countryside YMCA is here to provide support, guidance, and structure if your child desires to take gymnastics to a more competitive level.
