Welcome to Santa Cruz Gymnastics Center

Welcome!

Here at SCGC our mission is to build a community of people that all support each other’s growth, learning, safety and development through our love of gymnastics and fun. 

We offer toddler classes, preschool classes, recreational classes, summer camps, holiday camps, birthday parties, adult open gym and competitive teams. 

What’s happening at SCGC?

Our school year is off to a great start with busy afternoons and so many fun classes! We’ve enjoyed meeting new gymnasts and reconnecting with old friends. We’ve been reviewing basics, getting to know each other and building our strength and flexibility in all classes. 

October is progress report time, where we take time during all classes to watch skills and make notes on learning and mastery. We give written feedback to every gymnast so they can see how their gymnastics is progressing. 

Closures

SCGC will be closed on the following dates: 

  • Saturday, October 31st (Halloween)
  • Wednesday, November 25th through Saturday, November 28th (Thanksgiving)

Shape of the Month & Skill of the Month:
Our shape of the month for October is Stop Shape. A stop shape is a safety landing position, used in gymnastics for landings of jumps, flips and dismounts. Stop shapes are a part of every gymnastics event and are very important to keeping our bodies safe. 

The skill of the month for October is GYMNASTICS PUNCHING! When we say gymnastics punching, we mean connected bouncing with straight legs and pointed toes. The ability to do this movement with correct body tension and control will help us build up to correct tumbling on the floor and strong and powerful vault skills!

So Impressed

“My 4 yr old grandson’s physical confidence has blossomed since starting classes. When he started, he spent most of the class literally spinning in circles. After 2 months of their patient nurturing instruction, he is learning routines and mostly following instructions. So impressed!” – Vicki N

Awesome for My Two Daughters

“Santa Cruz gymnastics has been so awesome for my two daughters. I highly recommend them. Their coaches are so sweet and they are playful with the younger young’s. I’ve been very thrilled to be apart of their gymnastics family!” – Amy A

Incredibly Supportive

“The instructors are incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. Special shout out to Alex. He genuinely cares for the students in his class and in incredibly supportive of each student.” – Mike B

Having the Best Time

“Doing Rising Stars for my 4 yo son and he’s having the best time! The teachers are amazingly patient and effective. Great way to get his wiggles out and learn some more body control!” – Leah N
