The Toby Wells YMCA gymnastics program is based on
progression, and we encourage mastering basic skills before moving to harder skills. Classes are designed to allow for a smooth transition from one class level to the next. Girls enrolled in Progressive Classes will gain experience on each of the four women’s gymnastics apparatus: vault, uneven parallel bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. Children enrolled in these classes learn gymnastics terminology and develop strength, coordination, flexibility, and self-confidence.

Evaluations are required for gymnasts who want to move up to the next level. For additional information, please contact Beki Floyd at (858) 469-9622
