Jumping in Jymnastics

RAPID CITY, SD (KOTA) – When it comes to kids wanting to try something new or get more involved in sports… have they ever thought about gymnastics?

Just Jymnastics has been a part of the Rapid City community for 42 years, building a foundation for all children.

Just Jymnastics offers recreational and competitive gymnastics, and even a ninja zone that focuses on martial arts, gymnastics and obstacle training.

Gymnastics allows children to understand body awareness such as spatial orientation and proprioception. Once they learn these basics, they can play any other sport they choose.

Head coach Donny Otis offers advice to parents who want to help their children step out of their comfort zone, especially if they are trying a new sport like gymnastics.

“When you jump in, it’s kind of like coming to the gym and doing it, because some things are very tactical and you don’t necessarily want to train bad habits at home.”
