Small class size enables us to meet each child on their individual level.

Tumbling (grades 4 & up)

This co-ed class is designed for those who want to focus only on tumbling skills. Proper execution of standing and running tumbling skills will be taught.

Perfect for the aspiring cheerleader or gymnast wanting to work on tumbling passes!

The Gymnastics program at the JCC is run by Mike Weyneth—known to his students as “Mr. Mike”, is a 35-year veteran of gymnastics. A pro member of USA Gymnastics throughout his career, Mr. Mike has coached numerous recreational gymnasts, as well as state, regional and national champions.
