Children's Instructional Gymnastics Program

Announcement: We will not offer gymnastics lessons during the summer.  Instructional gymnastics lessons will return Fall 2013, registration will begin August 19 and classes will begin September 3, 2013.  Thank you.

Whether you want to learn how to tumble, get some exercise or just have fun, you will find something that meets your gymnastic needs here. No previous experience necessary. We have friendly experienced instructors who will provide children with guided instruction on various events to improve comfort, flexibility, and strength while giving positive reinforcement. We pride ourselves on providing a quality program that is fun and safe. Each class will be led by two enthusiastic instructors to ensure everyone participates and receives positive corrective feedback. On the first day of class, there will be a parent/guardian orientation that we encourage all parents to attend. If you or your child is a person with a disability and desire assistance or accomodation, please notify Nigel Harris, assistant director, at nigelh@vt.edu.

You must register online first and payments can be made online or in person at 142 McComas Hall with cash, credit cards or checks prior to the first day of class.  Please make checks payable to: Treasurer of Virginia Tech
