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

Just Gymnastics has been part of the Rapid City community for 42 years and has built a foundation for all children.

Just Gymnastics offers recreational and competitive gymnastics and even a ninja area 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 fundamentals, they can play any other sport they choose.

Head coach Donny Otis offers advice to parents who want to help their kids get out of their comfort zones, especially when trying a new sport like gymnastics.

“Jumping into it will be kind of like going into the gym and doing it because some of the stuff is very tactical and you don’t necessarily want to be building bad habits at home.”
