Since 1987, parents in Gainesville have trusted Sun Country as the premier gymnastics training ground. Why? Because kids at Sun Country learn skills for life.
Gymnastics is a foundational sport in which kids learn the building blocks of all physical activity. Kids not only gain strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination – they also build confidence and resilience that will serve them well throughout their entire lives!
From recreational classes from ages 6 months through to competitive teams, there’s an opportunity for every child to fall in love with an active lifestyle through gymnastics.

We are proud to partner with Sweet Peas Educational Gymnastics to provide classes for our tiniest gymnasts! “The Sweet Peas curriculum focuses on age-appropriate gymnastics activities that foster coordination, balance, core strength, bilateral awareness and flexibility.” We offer two different Sweet Peas classes:
WEE PEAS
Available for 6mos.-11mos.
ONE PEAS
Available for 1 year olds
This playful class is centered on age-appropriate development and movement. An obstacle course is introduced, as well as the use of our climbing castle, in-ground foam pit, miniature rock wall and trampoline. Songs, music and group activities help to make this class a blast!
This program introduces the child to a structured gymnastics class while preserving the freedom essential for their age. Tailored for these budding independent gymnasts, each week provides a unique theme that seamlessly blends gymnastics, music, and lots of fun while keeping your child engaged and active.
Starting at Age 3 Years 9 months | Independent Classes | COED
Children who can confidently separate from their parents are well-suited for this class. It’s a structured gymnastics class with a thematic focus, encompassing warm-up routines, obstacle courses, and rotations that present advanced gymnastic opportunities.
Every week, gymnasts take part in games and exploration in our climbing castle, in-ground foam pit, and trampoline.
This recreational Gymnastics program, exclusive to Sun Country Sports, is a positive, no-fail environment for children to learn and progress their gymnastics skills. Coaches utilize drills to teach various skills, body shapes and positions, and the strength to help progress students at their own pace. Each class is skills-based, not age based, and students will receive colored ribbons after they complete each level.
Gain tumbling skills through Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced level classes!. Our beginner classes are tailored for those seeking to grasp fundamental techniques like handstands, rolls, cartwheels, roundoffs and bridges. As students progress, they can seamlessly transition to intermediate and advanced classes, emphasizing mastery of front and back handsprings, power tumbling passes and flips.
Team Sun Country features both an AAU team and a USAG team, participating in Levels 1-10. Over the past few years, numerous Sun Country gymnasts have earned qualifications for Nationals, with several receiving invitations to join Olympic training camps.

Every Sun Country gymnast in our Gymstars and Rainbow Gymnastics programs gets the chance to show family and friends the skills they’ve acquired through an annual showcase. Similar to traditional performing arts recitals, these shows feature a lively theme reflected in decorations, music, and treats for participants. Additionally, every gymnast is presented with a unique item and receives a trophy or medal as a memento at the end of the show.
