if you are not interested in joining a Competitive Gymnastics Team?
-At Byers Gymnastics Centers we also offer classes in:
1. Cheerleading- Girls work on Round offs, Flip flops, Back and
Front flips, Jumps on the trampoline for cheerleading, and overall flexibility &
strength. These classes only work on floor and trampolines.
2. Exhibition Teams- If your daughter has the skills to go onto a
Competitive Team, but is not interested in that part of gymnastics, we offer a
non-competitive Team that only performs exhibitions. We have performed at Oakland
A's Games, California State Fair, and local schools and carnivals. If you are
interested in more information, please call the office at you Byers location.
3. Teen Classes- If your daughter is interested in taking
gymnastics, but you want a class that has girls closer to her age, then the Byers Teen
class might be what you are looking for. You do not need any prior gymnastic
experience to join this class and unlike the cheerleading class, you get to do all of the
gymnastic events: Vault, Bars, Beams, Floor, and Trampoline.
