Benefits of the Program
The OGA special needs gymnastics program was created to build upon each individual's strengths and interests. Classes are designed on an individual basis to help our members learn and achieve goals while having fun in a social setting. Our unique equipment aids in facilitating the development of all motor skills, including jumping, coordination, balance, and body awareness.
Gymnastics classes also offer cognitive benefits! While at OGA, our students increase their self-esteem and confidence as they reach goals, achieve challenges, and discover strengths not addressed in the traditional classroom setting. Additionally, the motivation and decision making inherent in the gymnastics environment can be transferred to countless other settings.

OGA offers each child an individual evaluation to help determine placement.
Class Options:
1-on-1 private lessons: 30-60 minutes.
Prices: $89/ 30 min. $106/ 45 min. $121/ 60 min.
Each child's private lesson is unique and is designed to meet the needs of the child and the family. 1-on-1 classes are the ideal setting to work towards meeting specific goals that have been established through an evaluation with our Program Director and a goal setting meeting with the parents. Many students in private lessons develop skills that will give them the ability to successfully transition into a group class.
Semi-private lessons: 45-60 minutes, depending on age and ability.
These classes include two or three children and are taught by one teacher. Children in this class should be friends or siblings and work well together. The low student-teacher ratio allows for students to work towards their individual goals, agreed upon during our evaluation process and parent meetings.
Group Classes: 45 minutes.
Price: $80/ month
The goal of the class is to focus on matching the children in each group as a whole, based on the age and/or abilities of the students. Group classes are great for kids who want to work on their physical development, while also being part of a social network. These classes will not exceed a 4:1 student-teacher ratio, maintaining the focus of each student.
