Gymnastics Classes in Salisbury, MD | Galaxy Gymnastics
Welcome to Galaxy Gymnastics, where athletes of every age find their place. From first cartwheels to competitive gymnastics, we're here for every step of the journey.
How Gymnastics Classes Work at Galaxy
Galaxy Gymnastics teaches recreational and competitive gymnastics to ages 10 months through adult in Salisbury, Maryland. Classes run year-round with continuous enrollment, so you can start any week of the year.
Recreational gymnastics is the weekly, non-competitive track most families start on: one class a week, grouped by age and ability, working the four women's events plus tumbling and strength. Competitive gymnastics is the invitation-only track — athletes train multiple days a week and compete at USA Gymnastics sanctioned meets. Galaxy runs both under one roof in a 16,000 sq ft air-conditioned gym.
Placement is by age first, then skill. A new gymnast enters at the level that matches their age — Baby Dippers at 10 months, Little Dippers at 3, Comets at 5, Rockets at 6 — and moves up when coaches see the skills, not when the calendar says so. From Rockets, coaches invite athletes into Advanced Rockets, then the Developmental Program, then the XCEL Team (Silver through Diamond), which is led by 2000 Sydney Olympic bronze medalist Kristen Maloney.
In practice that looks like this: a 5-year-old with zero experience starts in Comets, spends a year on station-based basics, moves into Rockets around age 6, and — if they want more — is evaluated for Advanced Rockets. Nobody is on a clock. Our goal for every athlete is the Galaxy goal: "To Be The Best You Can Be."
