Gymnastics program draws 2,500 annual registrations; staff flag space, staffing, equipment needs
Summary
The city'run gymnastics program reported more than 2,500 annual registrations and mixed revenue streams, including roughly $156,000 from preschool/school-age series and about $104,000 from birthday-party bookings last fiscal year. Staff said limited floor space, part-time staffing and specialized equipment needs constrain growth.
During the Aug. 5 meeting, recreation staff described the history and scale of Vacaville's gymnastics program and traded details about demand and constraints. "Today, the program sees over 2,500 registrations annually," the presenter said, and staff highlighted a diverse offering spanning preschool to teen classes, camps, open gym and party reservations.
Staff outlined revenue contributions (about $156,000 from preschool and school-age series and roughly $104,000 from birthday parties last fiscal year) and identified ongoing challenges: recruiting and retaining qualified part-time instructors, limited facility floor space at the Vacaville Ice Sports Center, and unmet equipment needs for adaptive gymnastics. Commissioners asked about volunteer support and options to expand hours or space; staff said volunteers are currently limited for coaching roles but could assist with events and supervision.
