GYMNASTICS is a great sport to prepare your child for a LIFETIME of athletics. While learning basic gymnastic skills, children are taught body control and coordination. Body awareness and control are skills that will be used for the rest of their lives in any type of sport they choose, or even just playground play. By learning individual skills your child will also learn the concept of goal setting and will learn to work toward obtaining their goals. They will learn SELF CONFIDENCE through their ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
 
DID YOU KNOW ?
Kids that are active in physical play are found to be better in school than non-active kids. Kids involved in athletics are 35% more likely to go to college and finish.
 
TINY TOTS:

Our tiny tots class is for boys and girls ages 1 turning 2. Your child must be 1 before December 1st of the registration year (our year begins in September and ends in August). The Tiny Tot area will be set-up with lots of fun and challenging stations for you to lead your child through. The activities are designed to help build your child's gross motor skills, body control, and physical problem solving skills.
 
We do lots of fun gymnastics skills such as forward rolls, travel thru tunnels, up hills, across ladders, hanging from the bars and rings, swinging on the rope and the most favorite station of all — jumping on the trampoline!! Your instructor will explain the activities for the day, and then help you at the different stations to challenge your child. The set-up changes each week to keep things new and inviting for your busy toddler.
 
TODDLER GYM:

The Toddler gym class is for ages 2 turning 3. Your child must be 2 before December 1st of the registration year (our year begins in September and ends in August). We set-up age and size appropriate stations for the kids to go through. We work basic gymnastics skills with the children to help them with their overall coordination and body control.
 
Through our CREATIVE SET-UPS your child will learn baby-cartwheels, forward rolls, handstands, bar skills, and balance. Later in the year we will start teaching the children the concept of taking turns and listening to directions from the teacher — a skill they will need in non-parent assisted classes. COLORFUL equipment, fun activities, and UPBEAT MUSIC keep the kids engaged and interested in LEARNING.
 
MINI GYM:

This class is for ages 3 turning 4. Your child must be 3 before December 1st of the registration year (our year begins in September and ends in August). The Mini gym class is without a parent. The first few weeks of class we get the kids used to the gym and the way the circuits are set-up. We consider "following the path" the first skill that the kids will learn. Throughout the session the kids will go to two events per week, and EVERY TWO WEEKS the lesson plan will change so that the gym remains NEW and EXCITING for the gymnasts.
   
The four events that the kids will go to are: Floor (tumbling), Bars, Balance Beam, and Vault (horse). We will work basic gymnastics skills at each event including—but of course not limited to: forward and backward rolls, handstands, cartwheels, basic balancing skills, squat ons, and front supports. We use lots of visual cues and PROGRESSIONARY EQUIPMENT to help the kids remember the skills to do on the path.
 
NURSERY GYM:

This class is for ages 4 turning 5. Your child must be 4 before December 1st of the registration year (our year begins in September and ends in August). Throughout the session the kids will go to two events per week, and EVERY TWO WEEKS the lesson plan will change so that the gym remains NEW and EXCITING for the gymnasts. The four events that the kids will go to are: Floor (tumbling), Bars, Balance Beam, and Vault (horse). We will have challenging circuits set-up at each event that will incorporate the different gymnastics skills.
 
Each event is set-up to break-down the skills. So that the gymnasts can practice on their own, with the more difficult skills assisted by the instructor. The class is set-up in a CIRCUIT to keep the KIDS MOVING and active during the class, instead of waiting in lines for the teacher to help each child one by one. We focus on teaching the kids the correct way of doing the skills on each event, while still keeping the overall feel of the CLASS FUN!!
 
KINDER GYM:

This class is for children in Kindergarten. Your child must be 5 before December 1st of the registration year (our year begins in September and ends in August). Throughout the session the kids will go to two events per week, and EVERY TWO WEEKS the lesson plan will change so that the gym remains NEW and EXCITING for the gymnasts. The four events that the kids will go to are: Floor (tumbling), Bars, Balance Beam, and Vault (horse).
 
In this class the gymnasts will work on: Floor handstands, cartwheels, forward and backward rolls, bridges, Bars pullovers, front supports, casting. Vault squat ons, straddle ons, Balance Beam general balance, forward, backward and sideways walks, scales, v-sits, and forward rolls. For our Kinder gymnasts, the lesson plans are designed to challenge and create strength — to give our gymnasts an advantage in future gymnastics skills or other sports.
 
KINDER FITNESS PROGRAM:   
 
Our goals in this class are to increase each child’s strength, flexibility, and overall sports performance.  It is awesome for those children who are not getting enough out of their school gym classes. Using inviting colors, shapes, and all the fun equipment. We will concentrate on developing timing, strength, body awareness, speed and overall physical fitness. Any child wanting to participate in future team sports (Football, Softball, Basketball, Soccer, Tennis Volleyball, and Golf) would benefit GREATLY from our KINDER  FITNESS  PROGRAM!
 
And of course our entire Preschool Program uses our many trampolines to help increase skill building and body awareness. PLUS trampolines are FUN !!
