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.
