To Our Students and Families: Thank you for supporting us over the many years and making AcroSports an institution in San Francisco. We will continually work tirelessly to deserve it.

Dear AcroSports Community ~ We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy as we officially enter the holiday season! Here at AcroSports, we have closed our doors for most of the week so our staff can take a much-deserved break and spend time with their families. AcroSports is on the eve of our 30th Anniversary […]

It’s that time of year again! AcroSports’ Fall session is about to begin, and our Leadership Team has been planning for an expanded schedule of classes and is excited to see the gym back in full operation. Whether you’re a first-timer or a returning student, we welcome you to enjoy your training and time spent at AcroSports.

AcroSports has always been a major advocate for safety in the programs we offer to the community, and we have chosen to use this down time to make upgrades to our facility that will further support that focus. All of the renovations we've completed in the gym during this closure are real "Wow Factor" items that you will certainly notice right away upon returning to AcroSports!

From gymnastics to circus arts and parkour, AcroSports offers fun and challenging youth classes for active children aged 6 and up.

As of Monday, March 14th, AcroSports will officially become "mask optional," with neither staff nor clients required to wear masks on the premises (though it is highly encouraged!), and we will no longer be requiring proof of vaccination of adult students. 

Our popular week-long #camps engage students in challenging physical activities like #tumbling, #dancing, and #circusarts to give them a chance to build #strength, #flexibility, and mind/body #awareness.

A quick word to our AcroSports community on how to stay safe and healthy in the face of society’s pandemic fatigue, at the beginning of this new year.

The Acro Around Town Challenge is back! It’s time to get out and show your Acrobatic skills around your town.

SF City Mandate: Beginning Monday, August 20 all ADULT students, AND adults participating with children in Tiny Tots classes and Toddler Play Group, must show proof of COVID vaccination in order to participate in class. This does NOT apply to adults merely observing children in classes and birthday parties.

Dorrie Huntington, AcroSports Executive Director, provides important updates regarding Covid 19 protocol.

We’re thrilled to reintroduce our wildly popular Party program for kids ages 5+! Bookings are available NOW for Saturday parties.

AcroSports families will be no doubt pleased to learn that we’ll have both Youth and PreK classes back up and running in the Fall. Our Fall 2021 class session will run Tuesday, September 7th through Sunday, December 19th.

We are very excited to announce the creation of a new embellishment for our beloved gym. This new addition is a handwoven dynamic textile space created in the style of a classic Treenet.

Despite being closed for most programming over the past year, AcroSports has not been sitting idle! Much effort has gone into the preparations necessary to safely reinstitute group classes and camps, which we will implement in a phased and cautious manner in order to ensure maximum COVID safety.

While AcroSports is currently still closed for youth programming, we are excitedly gearing up to provide our popular day camps this coming summer!

The City of San Francisco has authorized the reopening of indoor fitness facilities as of this week, and a number of people have contacted us to see if AcroSports will be among those resuming programming.

I hope all our Acro family and friends are doing as well as can be expected during this wildly unpredictable time! Here at AcroSports, we are continually wondering how it can be that Friday, March 13th - the day we officially closed programming - simultaneously seems like only yesterday, and also a vast eternity ago.

AcroSports was fortunate to receive a PPP (Paycheck Protection Program) loan in mid-April. A component of the CARES Act passed by Congress, the PPP loans are fully “forgivable,” as long as their expenditure falls within certain parameters, with the emphasis being to employ as many people as possible, thus lessening the burden of the growing rolls of people on Unemployment. Your tax dollars at work!

Since closing our doors on March 13th, we have received an unprecedented amount of support from the AcroSports community! Many thanks to all of you who have given donations of both cash and existing class credit; this has made a significant impact on our ability to reopen, as well as our continued viability as a business overall.

Many families currently have AcroSports class credit on file, both as a result of our COVID-related closure, as well as existing account credits from prior to the pandemic. Many thanks to all our students and families who were able to receive account credits instead of cash refunds due to the shutdown, as this has significantly helped to ensure our ability to reopen.

Dearest Patrons, you better believe that you are sorely missed! Every shining face, every new skill learned or attempted is the true joy to our lives as coaches… and we miss every one of you. We consider you all a part of our Acrosports family and truly care about how you are all doing during […]

I hope that you and your families are safe and well during one of the worst pandemics in history. Along with the rest of the AcroSports staff, I for one am eagerly looking forward to the day when our gym becomes alive again.

Since 1993 AcroSports has been committed to serving the community by way of physical expression and movement.

I almost forgot about these sweet letters. I was rummaging through one of my drawers at home and stumbled upon a pile of notes from some of my former AcroSports students. I reread them. And then, I smiled.

All AcroSports classes, camps and events have been canceled through the end of summer 2020. We are continually tracking news and information about the spread of COVID-19 in our region and adhering to recommended public safety guidelines. Please check this page regularly for updated information about the status of AcroSports programming.

Training and exercising during Shelter-in-Place (SIP) can look like a lot of different things for different people.

Join an amazing team of creative individuals. AcroSports has been servicing the greater San Francisco community for over 26 years in non-competitive Gymnastics, Urban Arts, Circus & Performing Arts.

At AcroSports, we want our students to develop a positive relationship with physical activity through personal accomplishments and cooperative group activity.

Autumn reminds us of our shifting forms. As the seasons change from blooming to bare, we change with the wind. Rising and falling, following the season... It's times like these we ask guidance from mystical powers. Where does your spirit take you? Join us fellow celestial beings for a celebration of our talents, an offering to the mystical powers that guide our light.

Coach Mick had the opportunity to take several workshops with the 7 Fingers, a contemporary circus company in Montreal this summer. He wanted to share with our community the inspiring performances, workshops and all the new things he learned to bring back to AcroSports!

Our summer camps are in full swing at AcroSports! From high-flying Harry Potter week to (of course) Circus week!
