Jump Gymnastics

Specialties

Jump! Gymnastics specializes in exceptional children’s classes and birthday parties. Our carefully designed curriculum is intended to give children the tools they need to be successfully active for their whole lives, regardless of what sports interest them as they grow.

We offer children from six months to eight years old the opportunity to explore movement through activities that enhance balance, strength, flexibility, coordination and agility.

History

Established in 2008.

The concept of Jump! grew out one key belief:

When it comes to our children’s physical fitness, we can do better.

Conventional approaches to children’s sports have a vocabulary that includes words like early specialization, burnout, boredom, over-​scheduling, dropout, intimidating, overly competitive, stressful, too late, and unfortunately, too often, childhood obesity.

Children are more likely to remain active if they are involved in something they enjoy. The problem? We do not know what our children will be interested in as they grow, and we certainly can’t enroll them in everything to ensure they don’t «miss out» later.

Fortunately, this is a problem with an answer.

Our vision is for a program that gives our children the basic building blocks of physical movement. A program that would ensure that they have the necessary foundation to be active for life, no matter what sport they choose and no matter whether their goal is recreation or excellence.
