INSIDE THE GYM AT DIAMOND
The Diamond recreational gymnastic program is a great way to
keep your children active and smiling! Children not only learn
gymnastics skills to help them for many things such as,
gymnastics team, cheerleading, flexibility, athletic coordination,
and for fun, but they also make great friends with their
classmates and their instructors. Classes are available for
preschool, beginners, intermediate, and advanced students.
Students wear a gymnastics leotard or just comfortable clothing;
however, no jeans should be worn. Students will be barefoot in
the gym to prevent slipping.
