The "tried and true" Folger's Gymnastics Curriculum will be used for all gymnastics classes. There are six skill levels, beginning with the most basic of the basic skills and progressing to skills that are used at the beginning level of competitive gymnastics. Each level has incentives and rewards, but since our number one goal is to develop a love for activity, we work hard to make that the reason our kids return for class week after week. Classes are ongoing for boys and girls ages 3 and up. For more information and to register call Folger's Gymnastics at 733-7525.  

These classes emphasize fundamental techniques in self-defense, proper attitudes, discipline, respect, and cooperation while providing a great workout. This program is offered all year. New students may join at any time.
