Legacy Gymnastics & All Star Cheerleading - Something for Everyone

By Kristyn Ford, Owner, Legacy Gymnastics March 4, 2024

Legacy Gymnastics and All Star Cheerleading has something to offer everyone! Starting classes and activities for children as young as one year old all the way to seniors in high school, Legacy is all about building well rounded children and athletes. Our state of the art 10,000 sq foot facility is specifically designed for the safety and progression of our students. Being voted the Best of Toms River by Distinguished Teaching in 2023, Legacy prides itself on providing high quality instruction in all of our programs. 

Our Little Legends program is dedicated to students ages 1 - 5. While this program teaches students the basics of gymnastics on preschool sized equipment, it also incorporates themes to keep students engaged and excited about their classes each week. As students progress through the age groups of the Little Legends program, they will gain not only new skills, but also more confidence. 

Our recreational program focuses on two different areas, gymnastics and tumbling. Gymnastics incorporates all of the Olympic events, bars, beam, floor, and vault for girls and bars, vault, floor, and rings for boys. All classes are separated by age and level to ensure that learning is maximized and students are in classes with their peers. Our recreational tumbling classes are coed and also grouped by age and level. Tumbling focuses on floor and trampolines and is the perfect class for cheerleaders or students who just want to have fun and learn to “flip”.

Legacy is also home to a competitive gymnastics and all star cheerleading program. Legacy is proud to offer both USAG and XCEL options for competitive gymnastics. Gymnasts in these programs practice anywhere from 4-20 hours per week and attend several meets per season. We are proud to have trained several 2024 New Jersey State Champions. Legacy All Star Cheerleading offers athletes ages 3-18 the opportunity to participate in various levels of cheerleading. During the 2023-2024 season, Legacy has several undefeated teams and is headed to the All Star World Championships in April.

Whether you are starting in one of our Mommy & Me classes or joining one of our competitive programs, the benefits of gymnastics, tumbling, and cheerleading goes beyond the physical development of skills and includes emotional, social, and cognitive gains.
