Activities & Classes for All
Cal Elite Kids is an amazing and dynamic place for kids! We are a multi-discipline center offering activities and educational programs for children 6 months – 18 years old. We provide professional athletic instruction in gymnastics, tumbling, swimming, soccer, dance, and cheerleading.
We believe that every child is a champion. We believe in providing excellent training in an environment where the child comes first. We believe that participating in athletics should be challenging and progressive, but never at the expense of fun… or a child’s self worth. We believe that sports should serve as a springboard for lifelong health and fitness, as well as an enduring source of validation and pride. We recognize that each child is unique and that each child learns in his or her own way. We understand that each success, great and small, is important.
