Gymnastics
Gymnastics is a long-standing tradition of YMCAs and we provide exceptional gymnastic experiences for all ages and abilities. Our leadership team is dedicated to programs that increase agility, flexibility and strength while the utilizing the unique amenities of our 6,000 square foot facility. All participants have the opportunity to develop their ability through the use of an in-ground trampoline, full-sized TumbleTrak, and 400 square foot foam safety pit. Through the use of female and male Olympic equipment, the Lakewood-Trumbull YMCA’s team is able to deliver a program that creates life-long memories and community.
Pre-School Gymnastics
Ages: 12 months to 6 years
Our leadership team is excited and ready to provide an invaluable experience to each of our gymnastic participants with the goal to not only have fun but, more importantly, to nurture the development of age-appropriate motor and cognitive functions. Using our feature-filled 6,000 square foot facility, children as young as 12 months participate in classes packed with fun as they progress through our skill and age-based programs which include:
- Rollin Rascals (12-24 months)
- Hoppin Tots (Progressive parent/child class which begins the exploration of quicker movement and sharper decisions).
- Bouncing Bears (First class at age three where there is separation between parent and child)
- Tumbling Tigers, Flipping Frogs, and Acro Cats are available for the growing participant on their way toward school-age gymnastics.
School Aged Gymnastics
Ages: Kindergarten to 12th Grade
Open to all ability levels (beginner, advanced beginner and advanced), our experienced leadership staff is trained to guide participants through progressive skill development based on age and grade. These programs are held at the Lakewood-Trumbull Y on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings.
Competitive Team Gymnastics
The Lakewood-Trumbull Y is dedicated to progressing athletes to the next level into competitive gymnastics. Our Y is fortunate to have a coaching staff and facility that couple for the perfect atmosphere needed for aspiring and accomplished gymnasts. Our competitive athletes are mature, focused, talented, and have the desire to compete on a large stage. The Y is represented by Girl’s and Boy’s Teams as well as a new Prep Op program.
Parkour
Volunteerism has always been strong at our Y, and Parkour is a demonstration of how powerful it can be as a 15 year old volunteer pioneered this program for his community. Through his work and a fantastic setting at Camp Tepee, Parkour at the Y has evolved into an indoor and outdoor program that allows a safe place to practice what is known among its participants as the art-of-motion; a martial art “flight” discipline in which practitioners move in the most efficient and quickest method from point A to point B. Programs include a one hour Intro to Parkour, and a two day, hour and a half each, Intermediate/Advance Parkour.
Youth Sports
Team sports at the Y build character and self-esteem. Participants cultivate values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Kids will not only learn the fundamentals and how to work together on a team, but also who they are and what they can achieve.
Our programs include gymnastics, dance, soccer, basketball, baseball, martial arts, tennis and more. We also offer more advanced classes for children who have taken our sports classes before.
