Gymnastics provides both physical and non-physical benefits. Basic gymnastics skills are beneficial to any sport a child participates in later in life. Gymnastics teaches strength, flexibility, agility, confidence, balance, and allows children to interact with each other in a social environment where he or she will learn how to take turns and share with peers. When children learn how to swing on a bar, kick to a handstand, jump on a trampoline, climb a rope, or run into a foam pit and climb out, these are all challenging and fun activities that develop a multitude of physical benefits that provide a solid foundation for practically every sport. Gymnastics also offers mental benefits. According to child/teen development specialists Dr. Robyn Silverman, when children are engaging in gymnastics, they are exercising their brains as well as their bodies. Every time your child attends gymnastic class, they engage in physical exercise that encourages healthy brain function. Nerve cells multiply and connections in the brain are strengthened. It is not surprising that children who are engaging in consistent physical activity like gymnastics are more likely to get better grades than their inactive peers.
Gymnastics is one of the only activities a child can begin when he or she learns to walk. Most sports require children to be much older. You cannot put your child in soccer, basketball, baseball, football or cheerleading as a toddler. But the toddler "Tiny Stars" gymnastics classes at Nova Gymnastics allow parents and toddlers to attend classes, learn and play together. It is the first form of organized activity in which your child can participate. Tiny Stars classes begin at 15 months.

We strongly recommend that you like us on Facebook for the most current updates on special events, weather closings, holidays, etc. We also collect email addresses from everybody who enrolls in a class. These email addresses are used by Nova Gymnastics to keep families informed of Nova news, upcoming events, and general gymnastics information.

At Nova Gymnastics, we operate with Open Enrollment in all classes. Your child may begin at any time. Tuition is charged by the calendar month, so if you start your first class sometime during the month, we will prorate that first month’s tuition based on how many class dates remain. While all students are taught the same skills, each child progresses at their own pace. One student might master all skills at their level in a few months while another student may take much longer. When your son or daughter has mastered all the skills at their level, their coach will talk to you about promoting them to the next level.
We keep a low student to coach ratio to ensure all students get the best possible training in all classes. The exact ratio varies per individual class and level so inquire at the gym if you have specific questions about a particular class.
Toddler Tiny Stars: (parents participate in these classes), co-ed
Preschool Shooting Stars: co-ed
Recreational Gymnastics: separate boy and girl classes
Tumbling: co-ed
Students in all classes can view the skills taught in their classes and track their individual progress online at our parent portal. Coaches will update the online skills tracker at the end of each day. Students in Level One classes receive an update as often as every week if there is new progress to report. Level Two students get updates every other week, and Level Three students get updates once per month.
Most children will begin in a Level One class. If your child has previous gymnastics or tumbling experience, the instructor will perform an evaluation on their first day and then decide which class level is most appropriate based on the skillset they already have.
For gymnastics, we recommend girls wear a leotard, but shorts and a t-shirt are also acceptable. We have leotards available for purchase at the gym. Tumbling students should wear a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Please do not wear loose shorts or shirts, or clothing with buttons, snaps or buckles as they can interfere with the gymnastics apparatus and the coaches spotting the student. Hair should be pulled back into a ponytail if possible. No jewelry should be worn. All students will be barefoot.
Nova Gymnastics requires all families to enroll in our AutoPay Program.
Your payment will be processed on the 25th of each month for the following month's tuition charges. If the 25th falls on a non-business day, autopay will run on our last business day prior to the 25th.
Students will be dropped from their classes on the first day of the month if payment is not received before then.
A Declined Fee of $30 will be charged to accounts when a payment is declined.
If you enroll mid-month, tuition will be prorated based on the number of classes remaining that month.
Nova Gymnastics does charge a one-time registration fee of $30 per child. This is not an annual fee, nor do you pay an additional enrollment fee when you transfer to another class. Once you become a Nova Gymnastics member, you are a member for life!
Tuition for each class is a flat monthly fee. To keep our weekly class schedule running smoothly, gymnasts are expected to attend class during their scheduled time.
There are no refunds for missed classes.
We understand that occasionally, a family emergency may prevent a student from attending their scheduled class and we will provide a makeup token for each absense.
Makeup tokens expire 60 days after being issued.
Makeup classes are scheduled through the Customer Portal using makeup tokens that are assigned after an absence occurs.
Makeup classes must be scheduled in a class of the same type and level and are subject to availability in those classes.
Makeup tokens are only available while the student is actively enrolled in our program. Makeup Tokens are forfeited when a class is dropped for any reason.
Makeup classes are neither owed nor guaranteed.
Makeup tokens may also be exchanged for Fun Fridays or Daytime Playtimes.
One token may be exchanged for one Fun Friday or one Daytime Playtime.
These special events must me scheduled through the Front Desk.
