What Is Open Gym at Silver Stars?

Open Gym is unstructured free-play time inside our professional gymnastics facility near the DC border area. There are no lessons and no coaching during these sessions. Kids simply explore our full range of equipment at their own pace, burning energy in a safe, padded environment supervised by experienced staff. Parents or guardians must remain in the facility and monitor their child throughout the entire open gym session. It is a perfect way for little ones to build confidence around physical activity without the commitment of a weekly class. Open Gym is available on weekdays only and is not offered during the summer months.

Is Open Gym Right for Your Child?

Open Gym is designed for children ages 8 and under of all skill levels and genders. Your child does not need any prior gymnastics training to join. Whether your toddler is just learning to walk and climb or your 7-year-old loves bouncing on trampolines, Open Gym gives them a space to move freely and safely. A parent or guardian must remain in the facility and actively monitor their child for the duration of the session. Open Gym is not a drop-off activity.


Note: If your child is brand new to gymnastics and you would like to explore structured classes, Silver Stars offers a FREE trial class for new families that can be scheduled at any time.
