Building Confidence One Skill at a Time
Gymnastics is one of the best activities for your child’s physical and mental development. At the Y, we help children develop coordination, flexibility, strength and positive self-esteem while learning fun, new skills in a safe and encouraging environment. All gymnastics programs at the YMCA of the Fox Cities are held at the Heart of the Valley YMCA, where our certified instructors create a positive, confidence-building experience for every child. Whether your child is just starting out or has their sights set on competition, we have a program for them.

Take It Further
Competitive Gymnastics Team
Our competitive gymnastics program helps youth value hard work, reach for excellence and enjoy spirited competition — all while making new friends, improving skills and being active at the Y. Youth are recommended by class instructors to join the pre-team and competitive team programs, and skill evaluations are also available upon request. Pre-team programs and competitive teams at Level 3 and up are offered year-round. Contact Jenna Ly, Gymnastics Director, to learn more.
Why Gymnastics at the Y?
Gymnastics builds more than just athletic skill — it develops the whole child. The strength, flexibility, coordination and body awareness that children gain in gymnastics carries over into everything else they do, from other sports to everyday activities. At the Y, our coaches focus on building positive self-esteem alongside physical ability, making sure every child feels capable, supported and proud of their progress. All programs are held at our Heart of the Valley YMCA facility.
