Why Choose Costa Verde Gym for Kids
Costa Verde gymnastics families choose Gyminny Kids for career coaches, transparent pricing, and a USA Gymnastics-aligned curriculum. Every coach is CPR/first aid certified, background-checked, and trained under USA Gymnastics standards. Gyminny Kids charges no registration fee, no membership fee, and no annual fee. Try a full class first, with a free trial class available to every new Costa Verde family.
Our La Jolla/UTC gym offers a climate-controlled space with padded, Olympic-level equipment and a parent viewing area. Coaches average 7 to 15 years of experience, and several have coached at Gyminny Kids for 30 years or more. The CDC recommends 60 minutes of daily physical activity for children ages 6 to 17, and structured classes like ours support that guideline.
Gymnastics Classes and Programs for Costa Verde Kids
Gyminny Kids builds kids' gymnastics in Costa Verde around your child's age and skill level, not a one-size-fits-all class. Beginner classes start with entry-level tumbling and movement classes that teach balance, body control, and listening skills.
Coaches use individualized instruction so a shy three-year-old and a confident five-year-old both get feedback matched to their pace. Younger students benefit from parent participation classes, where you stay on the floor and help your child through each drill.
As skills build, students move into tumbling challenges and agility challenges that layer in cartwheels, rolls, and coordination drills. Obstacle courses and our custom bungee bouncer system turn practice into a session kids want to repeat. Parents track schedules, billing, and make-up classes through our online parent portal.
Every Program Your Family Needs Under One Roof
Gyminny Kids covers a full range of programs from one gym in Costa Verde:
Classes for ages 9 months through teens, grouped by age and skill level
Summer camp and school-break camps with half-day and full-day options
Open gym sessions for supervised practice time
Kids Night Out events that give parents an evening off
NCG Team for athletes ready for structured competition
Birthday parties with a hands-free setup, our staff runs them start to finish
Private lessons for one-on-one coaching
Each program uses the same coaching staff and safety standards, so your family works with coaches who know your child by name.
NCG Team and the USA Gymnastics Pathway
Free evaluations open the door to NCG, the competitive team for athletes ages 5 to 18 who want structured training. Gyminny Kids offers two competitive tracks, Xcel and DP Program, so athletes can choose a path that matches their goals and skill level. NCG does not use tryouts. Coaches run free evaluations to place each athlete on the track and level suited to their ability. Gyminny Kids is USAG-certified. According to USA Gymnastics, the DP Program is the sport's official developmental pathway toward regional and national competition, and NCG follows that pathway directly. Costa Verde families can request a free evaluation at our La Jolla/UTC location.
Coaches, Safety, and Facility Standards Costa Verde Parents Trust
Every Gyminny Kids coach is CPR/first aid certified and passes a background check. A dedicated safety director inspects our La Jolla/UTC facility monthly, checking padded flooring, bungee systems, and equipment for wear. Coaches use age-based student-to-coach ratios, as low as 7 to 1 for preschool classes.
Children gain self-confidence as they master a new skill level and see coaches recognize that progress by name. Parents watch from a dedicated viewing area with WiFi and coffee, so you see every drill, spot, and correction firsthand. “Every family deserves to watch their child learn safely,” says Daniel Gundert, Owner and CEO of Gyminny Kids and a nationally rated USA Gymnastics judge.

Frequently Asked Questions About NCG and Gyminny Kids in Costa Verde
-
NCG accepts athletes ages 5 to 18. Coaches place each athlete on a track and level that matches their current skill, so age alone does not determine readiness. Younger athletes typically start on foundational tumbling skills before free evaluations move them into a competitive track.

NCG offers two competitive tracks, Xcel and the DP Program. Xcel gives athletes a flexible, skill-based path, while the DP Program follows the traditional USA Gymnastics progression toward regional and national competition. Coaches help each family choose the track that fits their athlete's goals.
-
Free evaluations, not tryouts, are how an athlete gets invited to NCG. Coaches watch each athlete's tumbling, strength, and coordination during a scheduled evaluation, then place them on the Xcel or DP Program track and level suited to their current ability.
-
Yes. Gyminny Kids is USAG-certified, and NCG's affiliation with USA Gymnastics runs through the DP Program pathway. This pathway gives athletes a recognized route toward regional and national competition, evaluated against USA Gymnastics standards.
