Girls Recreational Classes

We are making your children strong and teaching them how to make progress in gymnastics - and in life!  They CAN be playground superstars!

 Seattle Gymnastics Academy’s girls recreational program exists to build strength, skill and character through gymnastics and to promote healthy, active, happy children!

At SGA, girls have the opportunity to progress from Levels 1 through 6 in a fun, non-competitive atmosphere.  Our beginning levels are one hour, one day per week and give girls the opportunity to work on all four Olympic events: vault, bars, beam and floor.  In addition to these events, our in-ground trampoline, loose foam pit and Tumble Trak are consistently used in class for lots of fun as well as enforcing safe skill progression.
