BGC’s School-Aged Girls Gym Gem Program focuses on safe gymnastics progressions.  We utilize vault, bars, beam, floor, trampoline, tumble track as well as strength and flexibility stations to help kids move through our progressive program.  It’s typical for athletes to spend about a year in each level as they master multiple skills on multiple events all while having FUN!  For gymnasts hoping to pursue a competitive path, our recreational program leads the way after completion of our Intermediate Stars or Advanced Diamonds Pre-Team class!
