Intro Gymnastics

Advanced Intro (Intro 3)
  Combo Classes

UMDGC has a gymnastics program for everyone!  Recreational classes, advanced non-competitive classes, competitive teams, boys, girls, ages 3 to 93 – you will find something that meets your needs at UMDGC.  All our programs are designed for skill progression and achievement through repetition and skills testing. 

STARTING LEVEL & EVALUATIONS:  All gymnasts new to UMDGC will start at Intro Gym Level 1 for Ages 3-5 and Intro Gym Level 2 for Ages 6 and older.  If the participant has previous gymnastics experience, it is highly recommended to be evaluated PRIOR to registering for any classes.  You can schedule an evaluation by contacting the UMDGC Front Desk at frontdesk@umdgc.com or 610-731-0022.  The chart below shows how the levels progress and the correct classes to choose.

TESTING:  Once the gymnast masters nearly all the skills on a level, they will be tested by a UMDGC Supervisor.  If the athlete passes their skills test, they will be able to start working on the next level of skills within their current group.  Occasionally, the gymnast may be able to switch to another group of the new level if group limits permit and it is not a disruption to the new group. 

 

 

AGES 3-5

Over the course of the session, a sense of self-confidence and body awareness will be instilled through skill repetition.  To maximize safety, instruction will be on age-appropriate gymnastics events.  If necessary, parents may go into the gym on the first day of class only. 

  • Requirement:  Coed Ages 3-5.  Participants must be potty-trained; no diapers, pull-ups, or training pants permitted. 
  • Special Registration Note: Gymnasts that are 5 years of age and who have passed their level 1 test may enroll in the Ages 6-12+ Introductory class. 
  • Attire: Leotard, t-shirt, athletic shorts, or sweatpants with elastic waistband or drawstring.  Bare feet or footless tights/leggings; no socks or shoes permitted.  Hair must be tied back so it is out of the participant’s eyes. 
  • Max Ratio: 5. 
  • Credits:  Base $20; Max 2.
