Gymnastics

Our GYMNASTICS
program features fun, safe, professional, and individualized instruction.

Bolingbrook Park Districts’s successful and popular gymnastics program allows kids to begin as early as 18 months old and be introduced to this exciting and energetic sport that develops confidence, strength, flexibility, coordination and balance. Gymnasts ages 6-14 years, can become part of the Bolingbrook Illusions Gymnastics Team, that competes in Amateur Athlete Union (AAU) certified events January through May.

The gymnastics department also offers programs specifically for cheer. Tumbling and stunting is a key component for cheerleading. Our team of instructors is here to help develop your child’s cheer skills.

Developmental Classes focus on skills required for:

  • Floor Exercise
