Docksiders Gymnastics is one of the best gymnastics programs you will find in this area! Not only did I start my gymnastics career there in the Mommy and Me classes with Mrs. Lisa but I was able to compete as a gymnast for 18 years at Docksiders and receive a scholarship to a Division 1 college to compete for my University. I also had the opportunity to go back and work as a coach and pass on my gymnastics knowledge to the children in the class programs. My experience and review for their program deserves nothing short of all 5 stars! Docksiders is a place where parents can take their children and know the care and attention given to each class is directed by wonderful instructors who want to see kids have a good time and learn something new. When I was young my first classes were with Mrs. Lisa, who has been working there for around 30 years. She has directed the class program in a way that is most beneficial to each child and their individual skill set. It is so important for children to have a physical understanding of their body and be able to develop hand-eye coordination at a young age. The exercises, drills, obstacle courses and skills that Docksiders sets up for each class aims to help every child develop that basic understanding and work on any other area the child may be struggling with such as dealing with fears, flexibility, strength, problem solving, and even socializing skills and building confidence! Docksiders is a Gymnastics Gym and therefore has hundreds of girls coming through the doors everyday to work hard, spend time with their friends and have a good time. If you, as a parent, are too concerned about the available space in the gym (which there is an entire section designated to the class program in the gym), cleanliness of the waiting room or the gym (which is vacuumed and cleaned numerous times each week but there is something called Chalk which is essential in the sport of gymnastics), or putting your child in any sort of playful or fun competition where they are able to win prizes, coloring pages, or even leotards and candy because they overcome a fear, stick a skill or perform on the high beams for the first time, you are not seeing the true work and effort that is being put into every class at Docksiders. Docksiders aims to build your child up, help them become a better person, and be able to solve problems on their own. From experience, I can say Docksiders is one of the best programs you can put your child into if they are looking for a fun place to meet new kids, have a good time, be around coaches and instructors who truly care about kids, and of course JUMP IN THE PIT :)

I started bringing my daughter to the Docksiders tadpoles (mommy and me) program in the fall of 2015. We were looking for something that would give her more exposure to kids her age and provide her with some fun physical play time. From the beginning, our expectations have been exceeded. She always looks forward to going to class (she wants her leotard on from the time she wakes up on her gymnastics mornings). Mrs. Lisa is wonderful with all of the kids - encouraging and supportive of their efforts, even on those tough toddler days. My daughter goes crazy when she sees the teachers enter the gym and she knows its time for "tada"! The class is broken up into multiple different stations which keeps the little ones focused. Stretching, singing, tumbling, climbing...great mix of activities, and there is something new each week. And of course, they all love getting stamps at the end of class! Well be signing up for the next spring session soon. Id recommend that anyone looking for a gymnastics program try Docksiders. Weve had a great experience thus far, my daughter has enjoyed making new friends and has developed and refined her large motor skills...all while having lots of fun with Mrs. Lisa in a great environment for kids.

I have been taking my daughter to Docksiders for 4 years. She began in the mommy and me class and we have been hooked ever since! Ms. Lisa was her first teacher, and I truly believe she is the reason Gabi fell in love with gymnastics. When my daughter was three and a half she was given the opportunity to move to an invitation only class taught by Cheree and Lisa. I was astonished at the level of training, discipline, and care that these young girls were given. Gymnastics became something that my daughter wanted to do daily! Four years later, she has been blessed with the opportunity to work with many different faculty members, each helping her blossom into the gymnast she is today. I now have my son enrolled in the mommy and me class and he has a very different personality than his sister. He is more rambunctious and doesnt necessarily want to listen all of the time. Ms. Lisa has been a saint with him and has never stopped encouraging him to keep trying. I have seen a huge improvement in him and I can honestly say it is because of Lisas direction, patience, and support. I look forward to many more years of training and friendship at Docksiders!

For the past 5 years, I have watched 4 of my grandchildren thrive at Docksiders Gymnastics. Beginning in the baby class, they are not only learning gymnastic skills, but positive social interaction as well. The Teachers are knowledgable and friendly, and the gym is always full of young people hard at work. One teacher in particular, Lisa Welsh, has had all four of my grandchildren. She has unbelievable patience with the little ones and its amazing how much they learn all while having fun! yhree is my grandchildren, ages 2 through 8 are still taking class with her on a weekly basis. Lisa has a gift for bringing out the best in her students. She has a way of making them believe in their ability and build confidence while trying to master new skills. I have seen the strides that the oldest has made just this past year! Lisa is a genuinely caring teacher who wants only the best for her students and always has their best interest at heart. I am totally happy with my experience at Docksiders Gymnastics in Millersville and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place for their children to learn and grow!

We moved here three years ago and my daughter had been doing recreational gymnastics for two years. At Docksiders Ms. Lisa was her first teacher and saw potential in her. She was moved to an invitation only class taught by Ms. Lisa and Ms. Cheree. I was thrilled to see my daughters skills improve, but more importantly her love for the sport and her coaches. This gym does a great job at balancing the important aspects of teaching discipline, dedication and perseverance, (essential to success in this sport) all while laughing and having fun. After 3 years here, my daughter is now a member of girls level 3 team with Ms. Megan and Ms. Kayla. She still talks about and sees Ms. Lisa all the time, and because of her wants to be a gymnastics coach when she grows up. My daughter is proud to wear the Docksiders colors, not because of what she has learned here, but because of her teammates and coaches that have become her second family. Everyone here is loving, and supportive, I could not have asked for a better place for my daughter to learn gymnastics and gain excellent role models!!
