Assessments at YMCA Gymnastics

All students in our program are continually assessed during each lesson for improvement and readiness for upgrading to the next level. Children will learn skills over a period of time and build on previous skills, and completing the skills to progress can take some time depending on the level.

Skill tracking and assessments are available in the Customer Portal (see instructions to view). Once all skills are attained, you will receive an email prompting a class transfer to the next level which can be done in the Customer Portal.
