Gymnastics
High Impact Gymnastics Academy
Location: Pleasant Street Branch
The High Impact Gymnastics Academy offers a fun, safe, and encouraging environment for gymnasts of all skill levels. Whether your child is just learning to forward roll, would like to improve basic gymnastics skills, or is hoping to compete, the YMCA has the perfect gymnastics program. Most of our gymnastics classes run from September through June, so gymnasts have time to truly develop their skills. The gymnastics program culminates in an optional end-of-year performance in June that can’t be missed!
Not sure what level to sign your child up for? Call (508) 409-0735 to schedule an appointment with our Gymnastics Director Amanda Cyr, and she can recommend which class is right for your child.
