The
Ottumwa YMCA follows the YMCA National Gymnastics Program and is
supervised by Certified Gymnastics Administrator Elizabeth Crouch. If
you are unsure of your child's ability, call the YMCA before
registration day. One of our instructors will help you choose the
appropriate class. Many of our Instructors have competed training
through the YMCA Progressive Gymnastics Program as well as through
the USGA. All instructors are certified in CPR and AED. Come see
“Y” Gymnastics is fun and great exercise and try out our new
TUMBLTRAK system!
Daycare and after school kids take 50% off the PRICE!
From preschool to high school, beginning to
advanced, we have a developmental gymnastics program that is
age-appropriate for everyone!
Due to
limited space in our multi-purpose room parents are asked NOT to be
in the room during classes except on the final meeting of the class,
“Show off Day.” Our teachers also say children perform better and
usually listen wonderfully when the parents aren’t watching.
Twinkie Tumbling: This is your child’s
first introduction to independent gymnastics. Basic strengthening
and flexibility skills will be covered such as the bridge and
splits. Your child will learn to walk on the beam, hang from the
bar, and perform basic floor skills on a tumbling mat. In addition,
gymnasts learn to work with a group, follow directions from an
instructor, and stand in a line, all those little things us big
people take for granted! Classes meet one day per week for 45
minutes. Ages 3-6
