Description
Class descriptions are to assist you in finding the appropriate class for your gymnast. It is by no means a definite description of where your gymnast needs to be placed when enrolling. Other factors should be addressed specific to your gymnast. If you have questions, please call the Parks and Recreation department for additional help.
