Gem City is excited to announce a new Adaptive Gymnastics class for those athletes with special needs. In Spring 2019, this class will be offered for children ages 5-12 with differing abilities or special needs. The focus will be on growth and development in the following areas: gross motor coordination, sensory processing, language concepts, social skills, and being a kid while having fun!
Quincy is ready for Parkour! Our Parkour demo earlier this month was great and Gem City will be offering more Parkour activities! Gem City’s certified Parkour instructor, David Boden-Shackleton, describes Parkour as using obstacles as opportunity.
Gem City will hold its annual Halloween themed Pizza Fun Night on Friday, October 26 from 6:30-9:30 pm. This Pizza Fun Night is special because it’s when our annual costume contest will happen! The costume contest will happen first, so bring a change of clothes if you can’t play comfortably in your costume!
The event costs only $13 for members and $16 for non-members. Any child age 4 or older is welcome! Kids get to play games, experience open gym time, eat pizza, drink soda, and have fun with their friends!
The gym will be closed from September 1 to 4 for Labor Day. Classes resume on September 5.
It’s time for your favorite read of month- the Gem City monthly newsletter!
Parkour is described as using obstacles as opportunity. You’ve probably seen people doing parkour as they jump from obstacle to obstacle and vault their bodies over whatever obstacle is in their path. (Check out the video below to see what we’re talking about.)
Ever wonder if you could still learn a cartwheel or perfect your back handspring again? You can. Try it at Gem City’s Adult Gymnastics!
Adult Gymnastics is held every Wednesday from 7:45 to 9:00 p.m. It’s only $9 per class and requires no long-term commitment.
There might not be school on Friday, October 5, but there’s still an entire day to fill!
Gem City will host a School’s Out Open Gym from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm. With four hours of supervised open playtime, it’s a great way for the kids to burn off energy and for you to run a few errands. The cost per child is only $20* and is open to ages 4-14.
The start of the school year is one of our favorite times of the year at Gem City. There’s so much energy around the new school year, so we like to add excitement and help keep Gem City’s little athletes motivated with our Good Grades Drawing program.
The idea is this: For every A Gem City athletes earn, they have a chance to win any item from the Pro Shop for free!*
With the older kids off to school, our day-time Preschool Playtime is a perfect time for Quincy’s littlest ones to head to Gem City Gymnastics & Tumbling!
Every Wednesday from 9:30-11:30 am, $5
