GYMNASTICS

IMG_9251_edited.png

At CCCS, we introduce children ages 12 months through six years old to the fundamentals of gymnastics in a safe, supportive, and playful environment. Starting with the basics, our highly qualified instructors guide children toward more advanced progressions as they become ready–all while having fun getting their sillies out. 

​

What sets our program apart is the chance to explore elements of the circus arts alongside gymnastics. Thanks to our one-of-a-kind space, children get to try silks, partner balancing, bouncing on our olympic-sized trampoline, and other age-appropriate disciplines. 

​

Whether your child dreams of pursuing gymnastics, circus, or simply building a strong foundation for any path they choose, our classes are the perfect place to start.

Summer Registration Opens May 1st!

Officially called "Intro to Acrobatics" to capture the exploration of circus arts alongside gymnastics, our classes serve a range of ages and experience.
