Key City Gymnastics is a parent operated, not-for-profit society. Our purpose is to provide the community with recreational and competitive gymnastic programs. At Key City Gymnastics we consider gymnastics the ultimate foundation for all sports. Gymnastics helps develop body awareness, strength, flexibility, balance, and co-ordination, just to name a few. Key City Gymnastics believes in enhancing confidence, physical and mental development, and providing an overall great experience.
Our aim is to help children develop their self-confidence through mental and physical development. Each child’s participation is very important, and we want them to feel good about themselves and their involvement. We offer a wide range of programs and class options at Key City Gymnastics so there is a place for everyone in the sport.
