The Y has programs you'll flip for! We teach kids to tumble, run, jump and twist in our gymnastics programs. From age 6 months and up, kids learn movement skills, fine motor skills, tumbling skills and advanced gymnastics elements in our progressive-based classes.
Our program is designed to provide a safe, nurturing environment for children and youth to develop gymnastics skills as well the four YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Gymnasts who are ready to take their skills to the next level can get involved in competitive gymnastics where the whole person is developed and competition and winning are kept in healthy perspective. So, no matter the age or ability level, the Y has a terrific program you'll flip for!
The emphasis at this level is on positive reinforcement, encouragement, and having fun. Diaper Dynamos – infants to 3, must be accompanied by an adult. Tumbling Tots – are ages 4 and 5.
This is a traditional gymnastics program that teaches children the fundamentals of artistic gymnastics. Children in this program follow skill progression laid out by the USA gymnastics program. Gymnasts interested in progressing faster are encouraged to attend more than one class per week. Recreational gymnasts, who master the necessary skills, may wish to think about joining our pre-team(pre-competitive) program.
The CLC YMCA competitive team membership is by tryout, given twice a year. The team program is designed for the dedicated, goal-oriented gymnast. Our goal is to develop advanced gymnasts in a healthy competitive atmosphere. Teams will compete with other YMCA teams in the state of Maine. Team is based on commitment for the entire season that ends in June.
