Spring Evaluations will be held at the end of April and beginning of May. Will you be ready to move to the next level for the summer session?

Back Handspring Clinics

We will be having one clinic each month for students Level 1 and above to drill their backhandsprings and related tumbling skills. Information and dates will be handed out soon!!

SPRING BREAK

Just another reminder that Desert Lights does not close for any Spring Break. Our students come from many cities and school districts and do not all have the same Spring Break. Please come to class to prepare for Evaluations if you are in town. If you will be traveling, then you may schedule your make-up through the front desk.

BIRTHDAY PARTIES

Have your birthday party at Desert Lights!!!! Our skilled staff will make sure your gymnast and friends have a great time. Even non-gymnast friends love the games, trampolines, and getting a taste of gymnastics fun. See the front desk for details.
