Gymnastic Archived

General Info 

Gymnastics is back indoors for Fall! While we will be getting to use the gymnastics room and equipment again, things will still run a little bit differently. We will be using three different rooms upstairs for classes: The gymnastics room, the wrestling room, and the big gym. In the gymnastics room gymnasts will focus on bars, beam, and vault skills. Gymnasts will get their own piece of equipment for each event, and stay on that equipment for the entire event rotation. The mat room will lso be used for tumbling. Other mats, used for drills, will also be used in this room. The gym will have panel mats, and be used to hone tumbling, dance, strength, and body shaping skills. Each time your gymnast comes for practice they will be in a different room, and stay in that room for the entire class time. 

Our in-person gymnastics is back indoors! Your gymnast will come to OSU campus and improve their skills with KidSpirit staff on the second floor of Langton Hall.

Four-week sessions • Mon/Wed/optional Fri or Tues/Thurs/optional Sat • Morning, afternoon, or evening

Indoor gymnastics will focus on all events, and include days that focus mainly on gymnastics apparatus, tumbling skills and dance skills.

Each group is limited to 10 gymnasts.

FAQ:

Where should I park to drop my gymnast off? 

Parking is available at the baseball field or by the Kerr Administration building, or in the parking structure by Finley/Arnold/Dutch Bros. However, parking is by meter or permit only. If you park in an unmetered area or do not pay for a meter and are away from your car for an extended period of time you may be ticketed.
