Tucker Gymnastics

Flipping their way to victory and better health.

The American Academy of Pediatrics believes that partaking in organized sports provides a chance for young people to increase their activity and develop socially and physically. Children benefit from an active lifestyle and participating in any sport.

Gymnastics is one of the most comprehensive lifestyle exercise programs available to children, incorporating strength, flexibility, speed, balance, coordination, power, and discipline. Whether they are involved in recreational gymnastics or with a
competition squad, skills learned in gymnastics can benefit a child's overall development.

Participation in gymnastics helps children become physically active, and stay fit and healthy. Taking part in any exercise significantly reduces the risk of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes in adulthood. Partaking in gymnastics can help children sleep better, and equip them with skills to better handle physical and emotional challenges in life.

Here in DeKalb we know that by young girls and boys attending a regular gymnastics class we provide them with the opportunity to communicate with other youth their own age, work within a team, and engage with adults. offers weekly gymnastic classes in a state of the art gym for boys and girls ages 5-17.

The Tucker gymnastics staff is an array of talent, skill and expertise. The staff aims to give each participant an opportunity to learn about social skills such as listening, following directions, taking turns, being quiet, and respecting others. Their gymnasts have fun, meet new friends, and learn independence while keeping a competitive edge.

Lindsay Smith, instructor and veteran gymnast with seven years of coaching background understands that positive experiences in gymnastics can build
confidence through achievement, and illustrates that commitment to sports is beneficial.
