Gymnastics for Kids in Racine County: Classes, Open Gym and Teams

Gymnastics is one of the few sports your kid can start as a toddler and keep doing all year. Racine County has two gyms in our directory, one in Racine and one in Burlington, and both have new sessions starting this month.

Below is what each gym offers, by age. Dates come from each gym's own pages and registration portal, as listed on our site. Both gyms show class tuition only inside their sign-up portals, so open the portal to see what a class costs.

Racine Gymnastics Center, Racine

• Tot and preschool gymnastics (12 months to 5 years). See the listing.
• Girls Levels gymnastics (ages 6 and up). Ten levels, so your kid moves up as skills come in. See the listing.
• Ninja and Tumbling & Trampoline (ages 3 and up). Good for kids who'd rather run, climb and flip than do a traditional class. See the listing.
• Private lessons. 30 minutes for $30, cash, paid at the lesson. The gym posts weekly openings on its Facebook page. See the listing.

How to pick a class

• Under 3? Look for a parent-and-tot class. You'll be on the floor too.
• Not sure your kid will like it? Try open gym first. It costs a few dollars, not a whole session.
• Kid does cheer or dance? A tumbling class targets the skills those sports use.
• Ask about the trial. Ask whether your kid can try one class before you pay for a full session.

Before the first class

Ask the gym what your kid should wear, whether jewelry has to come off and how long hair should be tied back. Gyms set their own rules, and knowing them ahead of time saves a scramble at drop-off. If your kid is nervous, ask whether you can stay and watch the first class, or arrive early so they can see the room before it fills up.

Questions to ask the gym

• What's the student-to-coach ratio in your kid's class?
• If you join mid-session, is the price prorated?
• Can parents watch, and from where?
• What's the plan if your kid misses a week?

Where to go next

Both gyms are on the gymnastics page, with links to their sign-up portals and the date we last checked. The weekly email will flag new sessions and clinics as they post.
