Good afternoon,
My daughter just started gymnastics. She’s 5. She loves it. Taking two classes a week recreationally at the best gym in our state, with an additional ballet class at a good studio. We are really happy with how this gym places in regionals and nationals and we are very happy with how they safeguard the well-being of the athletes who train at this gym at all levels. They do a lot of trampoline work and air sense work at younger ages, while bones are still growing, and have a good, competitive amount of hours that their women’s developmental teams train per week.
I don’t want to put the cart before the horse, but we are looking to move in the next year to a completely different state, either MA or NYC/Manhattan/Upper East Side. I want to give my daughter a smooth transition into a gymnastics program that also safeguards young athletes joints and bones, while putting them on the track for a strong developmental program that might even lead to a good college career in gymnastics. Ideally, I’d be looking for a place that doesn’t train their gymnasts more than three hours a day and does a lot of trampoline work at the early ages.
I’ve heard good things about Brestyan’s in MA, but since it was sold and became Beyond Gymnastics I haven’t really gotten any new information about it. I’ve also heard good things about Gotham Gymnastics and Chelsea Piers in NYC although they’re pretty far away from the area that we’d like to live. Commuting is not really a problem as my kids are homeschooled and we have a very flexible schedule with two parents that stay at home or work from home.
I’d welcome your thoughts, and while I understand it’s a marathon not as spent knowledge is power and getting more information is always a good thing.
Thank you.
