Mission Statement: Our goal at Universal Gymnasts, Inc. is to develop each individual’s

potential in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere. Using specific progressions

and a highly trained staff, each child will learn the correct fundamental and

basic skills. This will equip him/her with the knowledge and ability to

progress to whatever level he/she aspires to achieve. As Safety Certified

Instructors/Coaches, we will use our knowledge and expertise to help each

child gain greater self-confidence and a more positive self-image.

Spring 1 Session

class, the balance is still due. Thanks!

Spring 2 Session

April 20 - June 14 Spring 2 sign-ups for students enrolled in Spring 1

Session will begin on Monday, March 30 (week 6). This is called PRIORITY REGISTRATION week and it’s your

chance to secure your same class/day/time before anyone else has a chance to enroll. April 6 (week 7),

classes get opened up to everyone else so make sure to secure your spot! Look for your child’s recommended level in the “view transactions history” on your Parent

Portal when it’s time to enroll. If your child is switching classes, including due to moving up to the next level,

you will need to be placed on a waitlist for the first available spot after Priority Registration ends. Waitlist

families will be contacted on April 5 after 2pm.
