SGA Ballard is equipped for all ages to play, learn, and compete.
SGA expanded from Lake City to our second gym in Ballard in 2009; first at a location in Salmon Bay before moving to our current home on 52nd Street. Totaling 22,000 square feet, Ballard is our largest single-building facility, but with a tight-knit community feel!

Ballard Holiday & Closure dates
We want to make sure our gymnasts, and our staff, can enjoy holidays and vacations with their families. Therefore, our yearly amortized tuition accounts for scheduled closures, as well as shorter / longer months, meaning closures are already calculated into the annual average tuition cost so your payments stay the same each month and you are not paying for days when the facility is closed.
SGA will be CLOSED for Recreational Classes:
- Summer Break: Summer Break – July 2 (Tuesday) – July 6 (Saturday) 2024
- Labor Day: September 2 (Monday) 2024
- Thanksgiving: November 27 (Wednesday) – December 1 (Sunday) 2024
- Winter Break: December 24 (Tuesday) 2024 – January 3 (Friday) 2025
- Spring Refresh Ballard: March 22 (Saturday) – March 25 (Tuesday) 2025
- Easter: April 20 (Sunday) 2025
Please note: closure dates vary based on program enrollment. SGA may have camps, clinics, team practices and other special events during the scheduled closures.
Check with your Member Services Team for more information.
