North Bay Athletic Association – Gymnastics Lessons in
Vallejo
It has been many years since my kids took gymnastics classes
at North Bay Athletic Association,
but they still remember it fondly. They offer a variety of ages and levels of
classes, and options about how many classes a week you would like to take.
There is also a small sibling discount. When we attended, we didn’t have any
difficulty with availability of the times and days we wanted, and the classes
we a nice size so that each child could get a good amount of individual help.
Because North Bay Athletic Association is a non-profit,
their classes were less expensive than some other similar gymnastics studios,
but I wouldn’t call their prices dirt cheap. For the high quality of instruction
we received, however, I do feel it was an extremely good value.
There are also more advanced programs for kids who want to
take gymnastics to a more serious level, or perhaps start toward competition.
The instructors watch for kids who may be capable of more, and will invite
these families into the advanced programs if they are interested.
While our family is not athletically gifted, my kids ha d a
great time. In fact, I think they had so much fun with a handful of the
activities that they almost didn’t notice that they don’t really like gymnastics
that much. When we left, they missed their instructors the most.
While I’ve had friends tell me that they have had great, and
awful instructors at North Bay Athletic Association, all the ones we had, and
we had about three and a handful of substitutes, were all wonderful. Like most
classes, there is probably a personality fit that needs to be found between
instructor and student. As I mentioned before, though, since they have so many
class offerings, it isn’t hard to move to a different time or day if you want a
different instructor.
