Welcome To GymCats Gymnastics

GymCats Gymnastics was founded over 30 years ago with the main goals of creating athletes as well as the foundations for them to succeed both in and out of sports. We start our classes as young as 20 months and continue to challenge them well into their teens. GymCats Gymnastics is the most modern, fully equipped facility in Southern New York State. It is centrally located in Yonkers, Hastings, and Dobbs Ferry areas. Every one of our classes works to improve a student’s motor skills, body and spatial awareness, lower body strength, and upper body strength, as well as challenging their minds through various drills. Our goal at GymCats is to build a physical and mental foundation for all sports and to promote athleticism and good health through participation in gymnastics.

Staff

The GymCats coaching staff is made up of some of the most energetic and dedicated instructors in the area. Parents and students respect and appreciate their knowledge and experience. Our friendly staff will make your child's experience fun, educational and memorable!

Class Types

Tiny Cats

This program is divided into 2 separate groups: Parent & Me and 3+4 Year Olds.

1) Parent & Me

35-Minute Class

This instructional class is designed for children 20–35 months and their parent or caregiver. A participating adult must be present and physically able to engage alongside the child throughout the class.

Children will explore all of our age-appropriate equipment under the guidance of a certified instructor, developing foundational gymnastics skills as well as essential gross motor skills in a fun, supportive environment.

Classes are held in our NEW Tiny Cats space.

2) 3 & 4 Year Old Gymnastics

40-Minute Class

Children attend class independently with their instructor, while parents observe from the waiting area.

With a low teacher-to-child ratio of 6:1, these classes emphasize basic movement education grounded in motor learning principles. Activities focus on:

Upper and lower body large-muscle development
Basic coordination and body awareness
Introductory gymnastics skills
Bar work and vaulting
Spatial awareness and confidence building

At this age, we emphasize personal bests, encouraging effort, growth, and self-confidence rather than comparison.

Classes are held in our NEW Tiny Cats space.

Little Cats- Ages 5-6 1/2

50-Minute Class

All classes are co-ed, and no prior experience is required.

This class builds a strong foundation for success in gymnastics and any future sport, with an emphasis on safety, proper technique, and progressive skill development through structured drills and apparatus training.

Each class begins with an active, dynamic warm-up designed to prepare the body for physical activity and reduce the risk of injury.

Both girls and boys will develop skills on the uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise, and vault.

In addition, all Little Cats classes incorporate the use of trampolines, a foam-filled pit, and climbing apparatus to enhance strength, coordination, confidence, and overall athletic development.

Back to TOC

Big Cats- Ages 6 1/2-12

1 Hour & 10 Minute Class

No prior gymnastics experience is required to enroll in this class.

Big Cat classes are typically grouped within a one-and-a-half–year age range (for example, ages 6½–8, 9–10½, etc.) to ensure appropriate skill progression and peer development.

Both girls and boys will train skills and routines on the appropriate apparatus. While this is a beginner-level program, instruction places a strong emphasis on proper technique, form, and correct execution of each gymnastics skill.

Our goal is to help children build confidence, self-esteem, and physical competence, providing a solid foundation for success in gymnastics as well as any future athletic or physical pursuits.

In addition to training on the four Olympic events—vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise—all Big Cat classes incorporate trampolines, a foam-filled pit, and climbing apparatus as training tools to enhance strength, coordination, and overall athletic development.

Super Cats (Invitation Only)- Ages 6 1/2-13

1 Hour & 10 Minute Class

Enrollment in this class is by invitation and evaluation only.

This advanced recreational program places increased emphasis on strength, flexibility, proper form, and technical execution of gymnastics skills. Instruction is designed to challenge athletes while reinforcing safe progressions and consistent skill development.

This class serves as a pathway to our Pre-Team program, preparing both girls and boys for the next level of training and commitment.

In addition to training on the four Olympic events—vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise—all Super Cats classes incorporate trampolines, a foam-filled pit, and climbing apparatus to further develop strength, coordination, confidence, and overall athleticism.

Back to TOC

Pre Team (Invitation Only)- Ages 7-14

1 Hour & 10 Minute Class

Enrollment in this class is by coach invitation or evaluation only.

The goal of our Pre-Team program is to prepare athletes for entry into our Advanced Gymnastics Program (Team). This class is highly detail-oriented and focused on building a strong technical foundation, discipline, and training habits required for successful team participation.

Our curriculum is intentionally designed to support progression into the team program, emphasizing precision, consistency, strength, flexibility, and proper execution of skills.

In addition to training on the four Olympic events—vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise—all Pre-Team classes incorporate trampolines, a foam-filled pit, and climbing apparatus as training tools to further enhance strength, coordination, and confidence.

Advanced Team Program

Our team is designed with our most advanced athletes in mind. Team practices are held on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings from 6:00-8:00 pm based on availability. Our students attend one or two nights per week, depending on their other activities. We have both non-competitive and competitive teams within our advanced gymnastics program. New athletes will be allowed to join the competitive team at management’s discretion and through evaluation.

In-House Program

Our non-competitive athletes may attend practice one or two nights per week. Each night, they will start with a group warm up and then train on each of the warm-up four Olympic Women’s events. In addition to the four events, they will use our foam filled pit, TumblTrak, in-ground trampoline and climbing rope to help develop strength and improve their skills. We will have 2 in-house Intrasquad Competitions (1 in January and 1 in June) where our non-competitive team members will have the chance to showcase their skills to a judge and receive awards for their efforts. They will not be competing against each other; this is focused on personal best!

Competitive Program

Our competitive team follows USAG Xcel. The Xcel program requires less training hours (though we still ask competitive athletes to train multiple times per week). This makes Xcel a great choice for our gymnasts since a majority of them participate in other activities throughout their competitive season! We will create fun, progressive yet practical routines for our levels with slight additions based on their individual needs. They even get fun floor music! Our competitive athletes MUST attend practice twice a week. They may be instructed on which days to attend in order to maximize practice productivity. They will start with a group warm-up followed by rotations on each of the four Olympic Women's events. In addition to the four events, they will use our foam-filled pit, TumblTrak, in-ground Trampoline, and climbing rope to help develop strength and improve their skills as needed.

If you are interested in our team program, please email us at info@gymcats.net or call (914) 965-7676. All new team members must schedule a private lesson evaluation before joining the program.

If you tell us when you arrive for classes, there is no guarantee that we will be able to group them together.

Q: What will my child be learning in class?
