JumpBunch® Classes at the JCC Indianapolis
The JCC Indianapolis partners with JumpBunch® to provide movement and exercise classes for young children ages 2 to 6 (traditional JumpBunch) and 6 to 11 years old (Sports Discovery). Movement improves kids’ fitness, builds confidence, and promotes learning. JumpBunch® classes focus on all phases of physical growth that include fine/gross motor skills, hand/eye coordination, body balance, agility, and muscle development.

Youth Sports Are Key to Building Community
At the JCC, we believe youth participation in sports provides nurturing, educational, and fun experiences that promote community, enhance spiritual growth, cultivate Jewish identity, and foster lifelong friendships. With early childhood education, after-school care programming, and summer camp, a large portion of our members are families looking for enrichment opportunities for their children. We focus on skills development, sports, leagues, and training for ages 3 through 16.
