About Sandhills

Over 30 years ago, Sandhills Gymnastics was founded by 7 families with the goal of bringing high-level gymnastics to the Sandhills area. In 1996, James and Jenny Ayars took over with the mission to provide a space where children could learn and grow through gymnastics. The gym has grown from its small, family-run beginnings into a respected community institution dedicated to helping children reach their full potential.

Fun, friendship, and fitness are fostered in our safe and welcoming environment. We value integrity, respect, and lifelong learning, while helping each child build confidence, discipline, and a love for fitness.

Since opening our doors in 1991, we have been proud to celebrate numerous key milestones that have marked our growth and commitment to the community. Over the years, we have continually invested in our facility and programs, adding new and innovative equipment to enhance the gymnastics experience for all ages and skill levels.

In 2002, we took a significant step forward by establishing our Trampoline & Tumbling competitive team, providing talented athletes with the opportunity to train and compete at a high level. This team has achieved remarkable success, earning accolades and recognition at regional and national competitions.

Driven by our passion for early childhood education, we launched Sandhills Creative Learning Preschool in 2014. Our preschool program combines a play-based approach with a focus on foundational skills, fostering a love of learning and preparing children for success in school and beyond.

Throughout our journey, we have been honored to host a wide array of events, camps, and clinics that have brought the community together and shared the joy of gymnastics with thousands of gymnasts. These events have not only provided opportunities for skill development and friendly competition but have also created lasting memories and fostered a sense of belonging among participants.

Sandhills Gymnastics has grown to meet the needs of our community by expanding our programs. We now offer tumbling, trampoline, and cheer classes, as well as preschool and adult programs, in addition to basic gymnastics. Our passionate, highly trained coaches and teachers support our focused curriculums and help every student develop at their own pace.
