Advanced Intro (Intro 3) |
Combo Classes | |
Introductory gymnastics classes are split into three age groups and three levels to maximize the learning experience. Instruction will be on all the gymnastics events: floor, vault, beam, bars, rings, pommel horse, p-bars, tumbltrak, and trampoline.
All gymnasts new to UMDGC will start at Intro Gym 1. 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 limits permit and it is not a disruption to the new group.
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.

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.

A fun introduction to all the basics of gymnastics. The activities that are covered in the class will improve the attributes common to all sports: coordination, power, balance, discipline, and self-esteem. Instruction will be on floor, vault, beam, bars, rings, pommel horse, p-bars, tumbltrak, and trampoline. Most classes are designed for Intro Level1 (first time) to Level 3 (advanced beginner). Preteam gymnasts are permitted to register, though the experience level of the coaching staff and the structure of the class is not guaranteed to make the class as productive as preteam classes.
