Recreational Gymnastics Classes

Building the Right Foundation

Metro’s Recreational Gymnastics Program is offered for children ages 6 – 17years old. Through Metro’s safe, fun and progressive gymnastics classes, gymnasts develop and continually improve their strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and self-esteem. Gymnastics is a sport of dedication, athleticism and determination. Gymnasts train hard in order to maintain their strength, balance and flexibility.

Gymnastics instruction is provided by our trained teaching staff and focuses on teaching the basic body positions and foundation skills of the beginning levels, to the more challenging and difficult skills of the more advanced levels. Metro provides an exciting non-competitive gymnastics experience for your child.

Gymnasts are taught with the use of skill progressions appropriate to each child’s ability level. Our recreational gymnasts typically take one to three classes per week.

From the Directors

First of all, thank you for letting our Metro Staff be a part of your child’s life. All of our teachers are trained in Safe Sport, Heads Up concussion, first aid and CPR to help keep your child safe, happy and healthy.

We offer classes for the very beginner (never had gymnastics) through our advanced levels. Once your child is proficient in a level, gymnasts are able to move to the next level; your teacher will notify you when he or she is ready to “move-up”. We also do progress reports every spring; so you can see what your gymnast can do and what he or she still needs to work on.

Not sure what level your child would fit into? Please call or email so we can schedule an evaluation for proper placement. The evaluation only takes 5-10 minutes. For girls evaluation, Contact Autumn Stone , or boys evaluation, Contact Svetlo Stanchev, or call 503-620-8939.
