Gymnastics
Gymnastics at the Tampa Y is a popular youth sports
program. Coaches and instructors teach kids the
fundamentals and skills they need to succeed in
the sport. The gymnastics program staff motivates
kids to practice on new tricks while focusing on
character values like patience and confidence.
Kids and teens of all ages, skill and ability can
participate in gymnastics classes! The Y’s trained
and experienced coaches and instructors have
carefully developed exercises, drills and routines
appropriate for every age, ability and skill level.
If you are interested in joining the gymnastics
program but are unsure where your child
places, we do free evaluations to find the best
class for your athlete. Please contact the
Head Coach to schedule your evaluation.
The Tampa Y ensures the gym is a positive, fun
and safe place for youth to learn and develop
self-discipline. Gymnastics coaches support
and provide opportunities for each athlete to
improve their skills. Gymnasts will experience
fun, appropriately challenging activities
with encouragement from their coaches.
Recreational Gymnastics
In recreational gymnastics classes at the Tampa Y,
participants will begin learning the basic skills in
gymnastics events, including vault, uneven bars,
balance beam, floor, rings, pommel horse, parallel
bars, high bar and vault. Flexibility and strength
training are an integral part of each 55-minute
class. Gymnasts typically complete four physical
circuits, a fun game, exercise or foam pit activity
each class to improve strength and flexibility.
