By Jen Jordan February 24, 2022

Are you looking for some ideas to keep your children active throughout the week? Does your little one have a birthday coming up, and you're stressing about planning the birthday party? Have no fear; the experts at Virginia Techniques have you covered! 

Let Virginia Techniques Throw a Smashing Birthday Party for You

Birthday parties are so much fun… but they can be oh-so-stressful to plan! Especially if you're a busy parent trying to keep up with all the day-to-day demands. Let Virginia Techniques help you throw a birthday party your little one will never forget. 

Whether your kid is currently taking a class or has never experimented with gymnastics, a birthday party at Virginia Techniques will have everyone grinning from ear to ear (and happily exhausted from all the tumbling, climbing, bouncing, and fun)!

The coaches and party hosts ensure every kid has the time of their lives, flipping, tumbling, bouncing, balancing, and sliding in a fun, safe, structured environment. Every party includes an hour in the gym, followed by pizza, juice, and cupcakes. You won't even need to worry about planning the party favors as every child receives a Virginia Techniques water bottle! 

This is truly the most convenient way to plan a smashing birthday party that everyone will love for an affordable price. 

Friday Nights Just Got HYPE!

No more lounging around on Friday nights or wondering what to watch on TV. All kids ages 3 to 22 are invited to Friday Night HYPE, where everyone can flip, tumble, slide, and bounce the night away. 

In addition to the giant inflatable slide, awesome music, prizes, and giveaways, the Virginia Techniques staff keeps the entertainment going with opportunities to participate in show-and-tell and other performances. Everyone will have a chance to either explore all the gym has to offer or stay on the equipment of their choice to learn or perfect any skill. 

The great news is pre-registration is not required, so the whole family can pop in whenever the schedule permits (don't forget to check the calendar for updated events). Or, you can register your young tumblers and duck out to grab a cup of coffee or run that quick errand. 




Classes for Kids of all Ages and Abilities

Virginia Techniques provides a safe, engaging, fun, and developmentally appropriate gymnastics environment for kids of all ages. If you're looking for a regular activity for your little one, check out any of our ongoing classes. 

Classes for Preschool Kids

Our desire is to see every child become a life-long learner through physical fitness. Preschool classes encourage coordination, teamwork, self-discipline, and other valuable life skills in a fun environment. Additionally, gymnastics at a young age can help kids develop better coordination, problem-solving, and other skills that translate well to other sports. 

Our instructors are experts at helping little ones learn basic things like colors, counting, sequencing, and more while expending energy and getting valuable exercise. We love incorporating fun themes into our preschool classes, like fantasy topics, the Olympics, and conceptual themes (high/low, over/under, in/out). All this means your child will be learning through play and exercise!

Classes for School-aged Kids

School-aged kids are doing a lot of mental, physical, and emotional growth during these formative years. We're here to support those natural progressions with age-appropriate classes. Our instructors create a fun and challenging gymnastics experience that helps each child grow at their own pace. 

Our instructors focus on essential coordination and athletic skills that will equip children to excel in a wide variety of sports. We also incorporate the "intangibles" of sports and life: hard work, determination, teamwork, perseverance, and good sportsmanship. 

Whether your school-aged child has dreams of becoming the next great American gymnast or excelling in other sports, enrolling them in gymnastics classes will lay a strong foundation of strength, flexibility, body-spacial awareness, and a strong work ethic. 

Kids appreciate the developmentally appropriate challenges and having a safe, fun environment to exercise. We also take opportunities to recognize and reward children for their accomplishments at regular "ribbon week" ceremonies. 

Tumbling and Trampoline Classes

Who doesn't love to jump around on the trampoline or learn how to do cool tumbling passes! The great news is tumbling and time on the trampoline are excellent ways for kids to build strength, body awareness, and flexibility while having fun and getting great exercise. 

Great coordination, body awareness, and flexibility are essential, whether your kid wants to get into competitive cheerleading, martial arts, dance, pole vaulting, gymnastics, or any other sport. Our instructors offer classes for every age and ability level so all kids can enjoy a safe and fun learning environment. 

Ninja Zone Classes

Whether your little one is obsessed with being an American Ninja Warrior or just needs a creative, positive way to burn off lots of energy, the Ninja Zone classes are fun, fast-paced, and challenging.

Our enthusiastic instructors incorporate the coordination of gymnastics, the strength and agility of obstacle course training, creative movement from dancing or breakdance, and the discipline of martial arts. 

Watch your child learn to navigate obstacle courses, master flips, rolls, kicks, and vaults, and build incredible total body coordination. More importantly, kids grow in confidence, self-discipline, teamwork, and impulse control while having fun and staying healthy. 


The team at Virginia Techniques is committed to maintaining a fun, safe, supportive, and motivating environment where kids of all ages can thrive. Find out More Information Here!
