Recreation classes are now open on Sunday!

Please call 503.531.3409 for more information.

OGA’s Futurestars Program offers a variety of classes that develop coordination, balance, flexibility, and fitness in children ages 6 years and older.  In the Futurestars (Recreational) program, gymnasts move through progressive levels based on skill development.  Coaches utilize equipment and props to engage students and keep them learning.  We also incorporate monthly themes to keep classes new and exciting, while also giving gymnasts the opportunities to overcome challenges and learn new skills.

Our recreational classes provide each student with the foundation to advance to higher levels, including our developmental, Pre-Team, and competitive team programs.  These classes are for children 6 years (in first grade) and older.

Most new students enter our program at the beginner level, and move up as they master the skills for each level.For new students with prior gymnastics experience please email our program manager to set up an evaluation:

Boys and Girls Gymnastics Classes:

• Beginning Level 1 & 2:

Our beginning levels are recommended for all new students without previous gymnastics experience.  Gymnasts learn basic skills on each event.  Boys’ classes explore pommel horse, parallel bars, rings, bars, floor, and vault, while girls’ classes learn basics on floor, bars, beam, and vault.  All classes also spend time on the trampoline and tumble trampoline.

Classes meet once a week and are 75 minutes long.  Tuition:  $78.00 per month.

• Intermediate Level 1 & 2:

Intermediate classes are for gymnasts who have progressed beyond the beginning levels.  While still exploring the same events, coaches introduce more advanced skills, and emphasize strength and flexibility.  These classes are manager placement classes.

Classes meet once a week and are 75 minutes long.  Tuition:  $78.00 per month.

• Advanced Level 1 & 2:

These are the most advanced levels in our Futurestars Program.  Gymnasts will focus on more difficult and advanced skills on all events, as well as concentrate on continuing to develop the strength and flexibility necessary to advance into other programs.   Coaches work with students to become stronger athletes, and allow them to enjoy the challenge of gymnastics.

Classes  are 120 minutes long.  Tuition:  $145.00 per month.
