Fall Enrollment Is Open: A Guide to Every Program at Bailey’s Sports
School is nearly back in session, and so are we. Fall weekly classes at Bailey’s Sports begin Tuesday, September 1, and enrollment is open right now for every program we offer.
If you have been meaning to get your kid into a weekly activity, this is the window. Fall classes fill faster than any other season, and once a class is full, families wait until the next opening. Below is a complete guide to all five of our core programs, who each one is built for, where it meets, and how to sign up.
Key Fall Dates
| What | When |
|---|---|
| Weekly class enrollment opened | Monday, August 3 |
| Rec Cheer fall enrollment closes | Monday, August 24 |
| Weekly classes begin (Tots, Rec Gym, Ninja, Tumbling) | Tuesday, September 1 |
| Rec Cheer fall season begins | Monday, September 14 |
| Rec Cheer fall showcase | Friday, December 4 |
Tots Gymnastics
Ages 2 to 5
Our youngest athletes get a room of their own. Tots classes run in the Jungle Gym, filled with equipment sized for little bodies, and the curriculum is built around developmental milestones rather than skill level. That means you enroll by age, and our coaches adjust up or down for each kiddo in the room.
- 2s · A parent-participation class focused on balance, body awareness, core strength and hand-eye coordination.
- 3s · The first independent class. No parents on the floor, and a big focus on listening, resilience and confidence in a group.
- 4s · Real gymnastics foundations begin here, with skill stations, flexibility work and technique.
- Mighty Shots · For 5-year-olds getting ready to move from the Jungle Gym into the big gym, with hands-on spotting and drills.
- Mighty Ninja · Ages 4 and 5, held in the big gym on our ninja cage. Climbing, swinging, jumping and balancing.
Recreational Gymnastics
Ages 5¾ and up
This is our girls’ recreational program, and it is where most gymnasts spend their first few years in the sport. Athletes work through six levels in the main gym, moving up as coaches recommend advancement rather than on a fixed timeline. No experience needed to start, and there is no pressure to compete.
If your gymnast has been in classes elsewhere, or you are not sure which level fits, request a level assessment and our coaching staff will place her correctly before the session starts.
Ninja
Ages 4 to 12
Our fastest-filling program, and it is easy to see why. Ninja classes are co-ed, obstacle-based, and run on a state-of-the-art ninja cage with a warped wall, hanging obstacles and balance challenges. Every class includes a dynamic warmup, air awareness and trampoline work, then focused circuits on the cage.
- Mighty Ninja · Ages 4 and 5. An introduction to climbing, jumping, swinging and balancing.
- Intro to Ninja · Ages 6 to 12. Fundamentals of balancing, rolling and swinging, plus strength and agility.
- Ninja 1 · Ages 7 to 12, with Intro to Ninja as the prerequisite. Endurance, strength and problem solving.
- Ninja 2 · Ages 10 and up, for athletes who have completed Ninja 1. Complex obstacle combinations and elite-level technique.
Tumbling
Ages 6 to 18
Round-offs, back handsprings, and everything past that. All tumbling classes are co-ed and run at our dedicated Tumbling & Cheer facility, where coaches build technique step by step across six levels. Athletes start with forward rolls and cartwheels and work toward connected twisting passes.
Tumbling is a strong fit for cheer athletes who want extra floor time, gymnasts working on specific skills, and kids who simply want to learn to flip. All backgrounds welcome, and beginners are always placed with beginners.
Cheer
Ages 5 to 13
Cheer runs on its own season calendar, so the dates here are different from our weekly classes. Fall Rec Cheer runs September 14 through December 4, an 11-week season at $449, and enrollment closes August 24. That is the tightest deadline on this page.
- Mini Squad · Ages 5 to 8. One 90-minute practice each week.
- Junior Squad · Ages 9 to 13. One 90-minute practice each week.
Athletes learn motions, jumps, sideline cheers, beginning stunts, basic tumbling and choreography. Every season ends with a showcase performance for family and friends, plus a community sideline performance at a local Central Oregon sporting event. Registration includes weekly coaching and a custom Bailey’s Sports Cheer performance shirt.
For athletes ready to compete year-round, our Impulse Elite All Star Cheer program offers Prep and Elite teams. Those require a tryout.
Not Sure Which Program Fits?
The honest answer is that most kids could thrive in more than one of these. A few questions that usually sort it out:
How old is your athlete?
Under 6, start with Tots Gymnastics or Mighty Ninja. Ages 6 and up open the door to Rec Gymnastics, Ninja, Tumbling and Cheer.
Do they want structure or do they want to move?
Rec Gymnastics and Tumbling are progression-based, with clear levels and specific skills to earn. Ninja is more open-ended, obstacle-driven and competitive in a playful way. Cheer sits in the middle, with a team, a routine and a performance date on the calendar.
How much time do you have?
Weekly classes are one session per week and you can enroll any time, pending availability. Rec Cheer is a season commitment with a fixed start and end date.
