At any age or gender your child will be taught in a positive and fun environment.
We realize that nobody’s goals are identical but we believe that gymnastics and tumbling can be used to promote good physical fitness, leadership, and confidence.
Our goal is to provide quality instruction/training in a fun and supportive atmosphere.
In addition to skill development and progression, emphasis is placed on a positive attitude, building self-confidence, and development of character.
We are so glad that you are considering Mid-Columbia Gymnastics Academy for your child’s gymnastics experience!
We are proud to serve families from all around the Columbia Basin, mostly from the Tri-City area but we do have several families that travel from out of town and even some from out of state.
Here at MCGA we are extremely fortunate to have such amazing and dedicated instructors and coaches. The majority of them have either been competitive gymnasts at some point in their lives, some of them continued up through the college levels. This makes our staff very knowledgeable about the sport. Our staff is here to support your child through whatever the goals for the program may be.
Mid-Columbia Gymnastics Academy was founded in December of 1986. We have continued to grow and expand over the past 39 years.

To register for a first class just submit an online registration. The class you choose will be the class that will reserve a spot for enrollment. When you register we do require a working debit/credit card on file that after the first class will be set to automatic payments. The registration fee and tuition for remaining of the month will be posted to your account. These fees are not due until you complete your first class. If you decide that it is not a good fit you just need to let the front office know so the charges can be removed and the spot is opened up for someone else.
family annual registration
$55 annually per family account, immediate family only. The Family Registration fee is due after the first class upon enrollment. This fee will be charged annually along with your tuition on the yearly anniversary month of your original enrollment. This fee covers administrative costs and the gym's insurance to allow your child to participate. Annual Registration Fee is non-refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be prorated.
card on file/automatic payments
Tuition is always due the 1st of the month, no later than the 5th. We require a working debit/credit card on file that is set on automatic payment. There are a couple options for which date payment can be made. If you would rather pay with a different payment method, you must do so before your scheduled payment date. If a date is not chosen it will default to be charged on the 1st of the month. No refunds will be issued after auto pay is processed. If payment is declined, you will be sent an email to notify you. You can then pay with a different payment method or we can run the card again. It will need to be taken care of before your child's next class. Late payments are subject to $10 Late Fee after the 5th If tuition is not paid by the 20th, your child could lose their spot in class.
monthly tuition
Once you enrolll in class, you will stay enrolled with monthly tuition until you withdraw from class. If you choose to withdraw for the upcoming month a withdrawal form must be submitted by the 20th of the last month you are attending. Once tuition is charged for the upcoming month, you have committed for the month. We do not issue a refund if you withdraw earlier in the month and there are classes remaining. Your tuition is based on your reserved spot and not a reflection of attendance. Mid-Columbia Gymnastics is a year round program with a flat monthly tuition based on an average of 4 weeks per month. If 5 classes are available, we do not increase tuition. If 3 classes are available, we do not decrease tuition.

when is tuition due and how do I pay it?
what do I do if we need to take a break?
Tuition is always due by the 5th of the month A late fee of $10 is applied on the 10th. We do require a working debit/credit card on file and that you are set on an automatic payment schedule. If you would like to pay with alternative method, you must do so before your scheduled payment date or your card will be run.
Simply fill out a withdrawal form by the 20th the last month you are coming. This allows time for it to be processed before automatic payments are run. Without proper notice you will be held financially responsible for classes whether attended or not since we reserve a spot. No refunds or pro-ration will be given for late withdrawal. Your registration is good for one year from when you pay it so if you return before it is up you will not need to repay it until your original anniversary month.
what should my child wear for class?
We do not require special attire for recreational classes. Something comfy/p.e. type clothes are fine like shorts and a t-shirt. No shoes or socks. Please keep in mind that sometimes your child may be upside down so make sure their shirt isn't so loose it will flip over their head. Girls are welcome to wear leos- we sell fun ones in our pro shop! Long hair must be pulled back in a pony and no jewelry please. No jeans, zippers, snaps, or buttons may be worn as they can get caught on the mats and pose a safety issue. No mid-drifts, sports bras must have a shirt worn over, no extremely short shorts unless they are gymnastics shorts worn over a leo.
what is the annual registration fee?
Our Annual Registration Fee goes towards the gym's insurance to allow your child to participate in class and administrative costs. Each family is charged $55 upon enrollment and recharged annually on their anniversary month. It will be drawn with tuition that month.
what is continuous enrollment?
All of our recreational classes have open enrollment, meaning you can start at any time. They all run year round. Your child will automatically be enrolled the next month unless an online withdrawal form is submitted no later than the 20th the month your last month. (Example: If you plan to stop in April we need to have you submit your withdrawal form by March 20th)
how does my child advance to the next level?
All classes are progressive so there are certain skills in each level that your child must perform before the instructor can move them to the next level. There are other factors such as behavior in class & willingness to learn. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's progression please talk to your child's instructor or contact the department director.
can parents and siblings watch class?
We have a great viewing area for parents with designated play areas for siblings. We ask that you please do not talk to your child during class, it is disruptive to your child and other children in class. If there is a situation the instructor needs your help, they will ask. Siblings must be watched at all times. If children are running, yelling, rough housing, or being a disruption to classes or anyone else in the viewing area you will be asked to leave and pick up your child when class is over. We are a family facility, absolutely no aggression or profanity will be tolerated. If you are deemed to be behaving inappropriately, you will be asked to leave.
what if my child is sick?
We appreciate you keeping sick kids home and we offer a make up class when a class is missed for illness. Please do not bring your child if they have any of the following within the past 24 hrs: vomiting, diarrhea, fever, pinkeye, "yucky" cough any contagious disease that you would not want others to expose your child to. This includes rashes, lice, ringworm, open sores, or any other topical infection or parasite. If your child is injured at home, school, or anywhere else please hold off on gymnastics until cleared by a doctor. We have a medical hold form available by request.
what is a make up class?
Make-up classes are offered to missed classes for various reasons, pretty much any missed class that is not during a scheduled close can be made up meaning you can come to a different class. Make-ups must be scheduled in a class that has room, no drop ins please. You have 30 days to complete your make up from the date missed and your child must be enrolled at the time of the make up. We do allow make ups in indoor playground or member only open gym.
