ACTIVE START
The Active Start program is designed specifically for Athletes aged 0 to 5 years old. At this age children grow at rapid speeds. The goal of our program is to provide athletes with a multi movement approach to gymnastics that contributes to physical, motor, social, and cognitive development. Athletes will work through our dedicated Active Start Level System. At this stage boys and girls learn together and are not separated.
