Recreational

Three levels for girls, three for boys, ages six and up — plus a zip line, a trapeze and the biggest foam pit around.

Recreational at Champions United

Recreational gymnastics, girls and boys

Three levels, one path. Every gymnast is placed by skill as well as age, and moves up when they’ve earned it — not when the calendar says so. Ages 6 and up.

Girls

Level 1 · Ages 6 and up

Beginner Girls

Where it starts. Gymnasts learn the language of the sport and their first real skills on all four Olympic events, with plenty of trampoline time mixed in. Strength, body awareness, coordination, flexibility and the confidence that comes from doing something you couldn’t do last week.

Level 2 · Ages 6 and up

Intermediate Girls

For gymnasts who’ve built a base and are ready for more. Bigger skills across floor, bars, beam, vault, tumble track, trampoline, zip line, rope and much more — taught in the same safe, progressive order, just with more of it.

Advanced Girls

The final step in our recreational system. Small groups with our most experienced rec coaches, the full run of the equipment, and extra gym time to lock skills in. This is where the path to competitive team opens up.

Boys

Level 1 · Ages 6 and up

Beginner Boys

First skills on all six men’s Olympic events, plus extra time on the trampolines, rope, zip line and much more. Boys build strength, coordination and body awareness here — and pick up the habits that carry into every sport they play.

Level 2 · Ages 6 and up

Intermediate Boys

More challenging skills, a wider spread of events, and the strength work that makes rings and pommel possible. The bridge between ‘this is fun’ and ‘I want to compete.’

Level 3 · Ages 6 and up

Advanced Boys

Our top recreational group for boys. The most experienced coaches, the full equipment list, and the skills that prepare a gymnast for competitive preparation groups if that’s the direction he wants to go.

And then there’s the fun part.

Every recreational class rotates through the Olympic events — but ask any of our gymnasts what they love about Champions United and you’ll hear about this stuff instead. It’s all part of class.

The zip line

Clip in, push off, fly the length of the floor. The single most requested thing in the building.

Trapeze

Hanging, swinging and letting go — the fastest way we know to build grip strength and nerve.

The biggest foam pit around

Thousands of blue blocks. Where every new skill gets tried first, because landing in foam takes the fear out of falling.

In-ground trampolines

Set level with the floor, so gymnasts bounce straight into the pit. Air time without the anxiety.

Tumble track

A 40-foot springy runway that turns a shaky round-off into a connected pass.

Ropes, rings & spring floor

Climbing ropes to the ceiling, still rings, and a full competition spring floor underfoot.

Somewhere in the middle of all that flying and flipping they learn to point their toes, hold a handstand, and try the thing that scared them last week. That’s the whole idea.

How placement works

1. Trial class

Your gymnast joins a real class so we can see where they are.

No obligation
2. Coach evaluation

The coach notes which skills they have and which are close.

Same class
3. Placement

Your coach talks with you right after class and recommends the group that fits — challenging, never unsafe.

Talk after class
4. Moving up

Gymnasts advance when they’ve mastered the level’s skills, whenever that happens.
