About Recreational Gymnastics (Academy)

Instead of teaching rote cartwheels or back handsprings across the floor, our students learn high-level gymnastics skills incorporating music, theatrics, props, bars, vaults, beams, trampolines, ropes, trapezes and more. Twice a year, all of our athletes participate in a gym-wide athletic SPECTACULAR with professional staging and choreography. The Academy program runs Levels 1 through 4 for ages 6+. Offered at Cal Elite Burbank ($176 /4 weeks) and Santa Clarita ($132 /4 weeks); tuition is based on a four-week period.

Good to know.

Four levels, one program

The Academy takes gymnasts from Level 1 through Level 4. Each level has its own page with the skills it covers, so you can see what your child is working toward before you enroll.

What a class looks like

Classes run one hour, once a week. Gymnasts train on floor, bars, beam, vault and trampoline, and twice a year every athlete performs in a gym-wide athletic SPECTACULAR with professional staging and choreography.

  • What happens if I need to drop my class?

    Enrollment & Billing

    If you do not intend on participating in classes for the next month, please inform our front desk as soon as possible so that we may move another child into that spot.

  • What happens if I miss a payment?

    Enrollment & Billing

    If you miss a tuition deadline, or your credit card has expired or is no longer valid, please inform us immediately. If we do not receive payment by the 1st, we assume you are not continuing with classes and we will open up your child's spot to another child on the wait list.

  • Can I transfer classes mid-month?

    Enrollment & Billing

    Consistency is key to growth in your child's sport. However, we understand that sometimes schedules change. Mid-month transfers can be done online by logging into your account. Find your current class under enrollments and select transfer. From there, you will be guided to the new class to which you'd like to transfer.

  • What should I do if I miss a class?

    Classes & Makeups

    We offer make-up classes that can be scheduled on a different day and time than your regularly scheduled class. Students must be actively enrolled to use make-up, and make-ups cannot be used to extend enrollment. Notifying us in advance of an absence helps open the spot for another student, as most classes are full and waitlisted. Make-ups cannot be rescheduled. Missing a scheduled make-up or canceling it will result in the loss of that make-up. Make-ups expire one year from the date they are issued.

  • What should my child wear to class?

    Classes & Makeups

    Students should wear comfortable athletic clothing; leotards are optional. No socks or shoes are allowed on the gym floor. For safety reasons, jewelry, hooded sweatshirts, jeans, belts, zippers, and baggy clothing are not permitted. Long hair should be pulled back; please avoid hard barrettes.
