Mat Rats:
24-35 months. In this 30 minute class, parent and child are introduced to basic tumbling skills and terminology. This parent/child class is centered around age appropriate developmental movements geared toward increasing the parent and child's understanding of gymnastics.

Bring your enthusiastic child and burn off some of that energy in a positive environment.
