Gymnastics Classes

Gymnasts in Gymsport’s gymnastics classes learn skills on all of the artistic gymnastics events (vault, bars, beam, floor for girls and vault, high bar, parallel bars, rings, mushroom, and floor for boys) plus trampoline. These fun and progressive classes have options for athletes of all skill levels ages 6 and older! Click through the box below for class descriptions.

Children benefit from an active lifestyle and participating in any sport. The American Academy of Pediatrics believes that partaking in organized sports provides a chance for young people to increase their activity and develop socially and physically. Gymnastics is one of the most comprehensive lifestyle exercise programs available to children, incorporating strength, flexibility, speed, balance, coordination, power, and discipline. Whether they are involved in recreational gymnastics or with a competition squad, skills learned in gymnastics can benefit a child’s overall development.

All school-age gymnastics classes are for ages six and above (unless otherwise specified). For classes for students aged five and below, please check out our fantastic preschool classes! If you’re not sure what class your child should be enrolled in, please stop in or give us a call at 412-220-1195. We will be happy to evaluate his or her skill level so they can be registered in the correct class!
