Hoppy Halloween!
/Hoppy Halloween from Novato Gymnastics! We hope that all our participants have been enjoying the festive spirit, costumed instructors, and the annual Halloween House!
This Halloween, we are also participating in a nationwide plastic recycling and awareness effort, and inviting you to join us! We are collecting used candy wrappers and hoping to keep a bit of plastic from entering our landfills and oceans. If you aren’t planning to do anything with your used plastic candy wrappers, please consider saving them and bringing them down to the Gymnastics Center for a recycling drive. We are collecting what we can, and sending it on to be processed into new plastic products. Curious about how it works? Check out the video below.
Trash or Treasure
/
This Halloween, Novato Gymnastics is asking for your help to raise awareness and reduce the impact of plastic waste. We are working to put some valuable plastic resources back into use, and keep it out of the landfill and oceans. Through the Rubicon Trash or Treasure program, we will collect used candy wrappers in designated bins at the Gymnastics Center. These, in turn, will be sent to Rubicon for processing, and turned into future plastic products.
In 2021, Americans spent nearly $37 billion on candy. In 2020, the Ocean Conservancy reported that food wrappers were the number one item found in plastic waste through worldwide coastal clean-ups. While this effort may result in only a couple of pounds of plastic wrappers, this could help raise awareness and help clean up the planet!
Look for the Halloween themed receptacles to deposit your candy wrappers. Meanwhile, check out the links for more information. We hope you enjoy a Happy Halloween, and join us in keeping the planet cleaner, a little bit at a time!
Jersey Week (Sept. 18 - 23)

Jersey Week at the Novato Gymnastics Center: September 18 - 22
Participants are encouraged to wear their favorite sports jersey or t-shirt to gymnastics this week!
Did you know that gymnastics prepares your child for other sports? Gymnastics activity provides your child with an awesome opportunity to enhance their physical conditioning and overall athleticism! Gymnastics develops many physical attributes such as strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, power, and agility which are the same skills needed for sports like football, diving, soccer, baseball, etc.
Wondering about some of the other benefits of gymnastics participation? Kids in gymnastics learn how to roll and fall safely which can aid in injury prevention. The complexity of gymnastics enhances cognitive development as well. It works on concentration, listening skills, and memory and can even help in learning to read and write. Through also teaching patience, focus, perseverance, time management, and sportsmanship, gymnastics builds character, too!
The Best for 2023
/
Thanks to the Pacific Sun for for voting the Novato Gymnastics Center as the Best Indoor Children’s Sports Center in Marin for 2023! Novato Parks, Recreation and Community Services and Novato Gymnastics strive to be at our best for our community, especially when that effort helps our young participants be their best!
This is the second year in a row that we have received this honor, and fifth overall in this category. We are always grateful for our participants and their families, as well as their continued participation and support!
