skill + fun
Welcome to JCCMW Gymnastics
Our goal at JCCMW Gymnastics is to provide a safe and fun environment for our participants within a framework of positive reinforcement and encouragement! We strive to provide the most positive experience possible for everyone involved.
Gymnastics is a special sport, and should be treated as such. Gymnastics requires balance, strength, flexibility, agility, coordination, endurance and commitment. Lifetime skills are learned, friendships are made, and gymnastics is being taught in a fun and inviting environment.
