Recreational gymnastics is open to girls and boys starting at walking age, with activities that include parent-child, toddler, beginner, intermediate, advanced, tumbling, and Rings and Swings classes. LITTLE BUGS (Tiny Tumbler Parent Child – ages walking–2.5) meets in the preschool gym, and MINI BEES (Parent-child transition class – ages 2.5–3.5) is a semi-structured class with guided instruction and free exploration where parents and caregivers can choose their level of involvement, including watching on a hallway monitor. TODDLER BEES (ages 3–5) is an instructor-led preschool class that the child attends without their adult, and KINDER BEGINNER (5 years old) transitions children from pre-K classes to school-age classes with specified skills on bars, beam, floor, and vault. SCHOOL AGE BEGINNER (6 and up), ADVANCED BEGINNER (6 and up), INTERMEDIATE, and ADVANCED classes each follow specific skill progressions on bars, beam, floor, and vault, and RINGS AND SWINGS is an all-boys class that introduces beginner gymnastics skills in tumbling, high bar, and rings and must be director approved.
Rec gymnastics classes are led by USA Gymnastics certified coaches, and the gymnastics director oversees the program. The YMCA of Springfield has been serving the community for 150 years. The mission of the YMCA Gymnastics Team is to foster an environment allowing young athletes to become superior gymnasts, to contribute to team camaraderie and sportsmanship, and to build lifelong skills consistent with the Y’s mission and cause. The organization partners with community groups to raise awareness and address issues of childcare, senior services, food insecurity, support for foster children, educational gaps, and healthy activities in underserved communities, and the YMCA Strong Kids Fund supports underserved, at-risk kids and those with diverse abilities in accessing camps, sports, after-school programs, swimming, and Y activities.
