Darien YMCA Gymnastics

The Darien YMCA is fortunate to have a team of former Elite gymnasts and coaches leading our gymnastics program. This international team has created and coached a winning team whose successes include qualification to the Junior Olympic National Championships and many State, Regionals and National Wins. The coaching expertise is felt throughout the entire gymnastics program.

All programs are held at our Gymnastics Center located off-site in the Goodwives Shopping Center at 25 Old Kings Hwy North, Darien, CT 06820

The Darien YMCA offers 2 team opportunities. Travel Team is for gymnasts who are ready to compete at a high level of competition including up to 12 USAG/YMCA meets per year. Gymnasts are usually selected by our coaches from within our class program. The objective of our House Team is to provide a recreational competitive gymnastics experience. The training and competition schedules are not as demanding and it provides a perfect alternative for the talented gymnast who may also be involved in other sports. The competitive season runs January through July, however, the program and workout commitment run year-round.

About Darien Gymnastics

The Darien YMCA is fortunate to have a team of former Elite gymnasts and coaches leading our gymnastics program. This international four- person team has created and coached a winning team whose successes include qualification to the Junior Olympic National Championships and many State, Regionals and National Wins. The coaching expertise is felt throughout the entire gymnastics program.

All Gymnastics classes are held in our NEW Gymnastics Facility at the Main YMCA.

About Progressive Gymnastics

Gymnastics is world renowned for its ability to build strong and flexible bodies. Our classes build and reinforce children’s skills in the areas of physical coordination, agility, endurance, strength, balance, gross motor skills, and fine motor skills, yet the most important ingredient in our program is FUN. Kids gladly join in physical fitness exercises that are packaged as fun. All of our classes teach basic skill progressions, which vary according to the age and ability of each child. Overall, our unique approach to teaching creates the ideal environment for enhancing children’s physical development.

*Select classes by your child’s age; children will be evaluated on the first day of classes, and then placed in “beginners” or “intermediate” groups. The “2” level of each course denotes intermediate, where a more challenging curriculum will be taught.
