Our recreational gymnastics program is designed for girls and boys of all ages and abilities. Our philosophy is to teach gymnastics as a lifetime sport. Classes are specific to age and ability level so gymnasts can progress at their own pace. Children develop discipline, perseverance, self-confidence, strength, and flexibility with a spirit of play and fun.
Check out just a few of our classes!
Ninja Classes
Three levels of Ninja classes are now offered! Mini Ninjas, Ninja Stars and Super Ninjas will explore training drills inspired by American Ninja Warrior using strength, stability and more. Powered in part by a grant from Power Play, there is no shortage of fun in these classes.
Tumblebugs
Classes for our youngest gymnasts use skill-builder equipment such as wedges, octagons, mini bars, and floor beams to incorporate fun and imagination. Morning, evening, and weekend classes are offered. Classes are with parent (or caregiver).
Cheer
With both Cheernastics and Tumbling for Cheer classes available, even our littlest cheer leaders are learning skills like technique and form for cheers and the drills to master tumbling.
Adult Gymnastics
Looking to try something new or renew a passion. We work at your individual pace and use mats and drills to suit your skill level. All tumbling levels are welcome.
The Springers of Carol Stream is a year-round gymnastics team for ages 5-18 years. Springers compete in the Illinois Park District Gymnastic Conference at the tumbling, compulsory, and optional levels. An assessment by the head coach is required.
The Springers Gymnastics Team always accepts new team members and there is no experience necessary. Join a supportive, welcoming gym community, with coaches who want gymnasts to succeed.

We are the proud recipient of a 2022 PowerPlay grant! This $1,000 award funded the launch of our ninja classes. New equipment that was purchased, thanks to the PowerPlay grant, includes a teeter totter, ninja steps, adjustable hurdles, balance trainers, lily pads, bounce balls, and fitness dice.
The Illinois Association of Park Districts (IAPD) awarded 43 agencies $1,000 each in grant support. That’s a total of $43,000 in PowerPlay! grants to member agencies in 2022. This amount is the largest amount ever awarded.
The sale and subsequent renewals of each license plate generate $25 for the PowerPlay! Beyond School Grant Program, which funds youth programs in park and recreation agencies throughout Illinois. The goal of the PowerPlay! program is to increase the number of opportunities designed to show youth the lifelong benefits of fitness, health and nutrition.
