Recreational Gymnastics
Ages 5+
River City’s recreational gymnastics program helps children build strength, flexibility, confidence and gymnastics skills in an encouraging, routine-based environment.
Athletes begin learning skills and routines on floor, beam and bars from the start. Our progressive program allows each athlete to advance at their own pace while developing strong foundations and celebrating meaningful progress.
Choose the Right Class:
Rec Gym 1 — Ages 5 & 6
A one-hour introductory gymnastics class designed for younger athletes.
Children develop foundational skills, body awareness, coordination and confidence while learning how to safely use the gymnastics equipment. No previous gymnastics experience is required.
Rec Gym 2 — Ages 6+
A 1.5- or 2-hour recreational gymnastics class that gives athletes more time to develop skills and routines on floor, beam, bars and other apparatus.
Rec Gym 2 is suitable for beginners as well as returning athletes. Coaches will help place each child at an appropriate level within the class based on their age, experience and current skills.

Individual Progression
Athletes progress through our recreational levels on each event individually.
This means a child can move ahead on an apparatus where they are confident without feeling held back by a skill that is taking longer to develop elsewhere. Coaches help athletes set appropriate goals and work toward their next level with a focus on safe, steady progress.
More Than Learning Skills
Our program includes a strong routine and performance component. Floor and beam routines incorporate dance, presentation and movement, helping athletes grow in confidence as well as athletic ability.
Athletes also have the opportunity to participate in two family showcases each year:
-
Winter Showcase in January
-
Spring Showcase in May or June
These showcases give families the opportunity to celebrate their athlete’s progress and see the routines they have been developing.
Continuing to Advanced Levels
As athletes progress, they may be invited into a higher-level recreational training group. Advanced skills require additional training time and may include focused strength, flexibility, routine and dance development.
Coach invitations are based on readiness, skill level, commitment and the training environment that will best support the athlete’s continued growth.
Tuition
Tuition is calculated at $20 per scheduled training hour for the full Fall or Spring session.
Because holidays and planned closures fall on different weekdays, the total session fee may vary slightly depending on the class day selected. Families are only charged for classes that are scheduled to take place. There is no charge for statutory holidays or planned closure dates.
Monthly payment plans are available. Families may also qualify for a 10% sibling discount or a 10% multi-class discount.
We accept approved funding through KidSport, Activities4Kids and Jumpstart.
