FARMINGTON SHINING STARS is for girls in the 1st through 8th grade. We offer age and skill appropriate classes that are designed to teach basic level skills to children of all abilities. We divide our classes into two age levels: 1st—3rd grade and 4th—8th grade. This allows us to make age and size appropriate lesson plans. We also separate the classes by skill level. The four levels are: Beginner, Intermediate, Adv/Intermediate, and Advanced. We ALSO offer recreational classes (Junior Tumblers) for girls that have been in our COMPETITIVE TEAM PROGRAM and no longer want to make that kind of commitment. We have developed skill progression charts, which help us (and you) keep track of each gymnast's progress. These charts are displayed for gymnast and parent viewing.

Class Format
The classes are 1-1/2 hours long and meet once a week. Each class session we go to three of the four events. The four events that the girls will be working on are Floor (tumbling), Uneven Parallel Bars, Balance Beam, and Vault. We also use trampolines, tumble traks, and a climbing rope, which increase strength and skill development. We will work on level appropriate skills on each event with the emphasis on doing the skill SAFELY, CORRECTLY, AND CELEBRATING even the smallest of ACCOMPLISHMENTS. Our Fall, Winter, and Spring sessions are 12 weeks long, and our Summer Program consists of 4 - two week sessions.

Apparel
The girls should wear leotards, no jewelry, and bare feet. We also ask that they wear their hair back in a pony tail or braids, if their hair is long enough to get into their eyes. The girls can wear any type of leotard and in any color. They may wear shorts over their leotards as long as they are athletic shorts with an elastic waist band. Pants are not permitted.

Viewing
Parents are welcome to stay and watch in our large lobby area, which looks out into the gym. We just ask that parents do not yell out to their kids while they are working out in the gym, as it is very distracting to your child and is just not safe. Also, please note that because of SAFETY REASONS, PARENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE GYM !

Our goals in this class are to increase each child's strength and flexibility to help them excel on the 6 men's events (floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars, high bar). The strength, flexibility, coordination, and body awareness will help your son excel in any other sport he may do. We will also be concentrating on the overall physical ability of each child. Skill charts will be used to track progress and are posted in our lobby. Please come dressed in shorts, t-shirt and bare feet. Be ready to Flip, Run, Jump, and to have FUN !!

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. 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 FUN & FITNESS CLASS !
