LIL’ TUMBLERS

PREREQUISITE: MUST BE WALKING*

This gymnastics class offers an age-appropriate introduction to gymnastics using creative expression and movement through the use of playful games and all of the gymnastics equipment with lots of parental hands-on assistance. Parental involvement provides toddlers with a comfortable environment in preparation for the transition to independent gymnastics classes. Children will bounce, swing, and roll their way through this class.

TOT GYMNASTICS

Children are introduced to each gymnastics apparatus and taught introductory gymnastics skills and body positions that help develop coordination, balance, strength, and body awareness. Children will also learn valuable social skills, such as working with a group, waiting your turn, listening to directions, and following directions.

BEGINNER GYMNASTICS

For those with limited or no gymnastics experience. At this level, gymnasts are taught the basic floor skills such as forward rolls, cartwheels, and handstands while building self-esteem and self-confidence. Children will continue to be introduced to all Olympic events, including vault, uneven bars, and balance beam with a focus on flexibility, coordination, and strength. As the children progress, they will begin to learn simple gymnastics routines and focus more on correct form.

INTERMEDIATE GYMNASTICS

Gymnasts at this level must have met the requirements in the beginner level with good form and technique as this class is designed to continue to build upon that foundation. While the basics are always reviewed and applied, it is now time to challenge what they’ve learned, refine their skills and develop more advanced techniques of execution on each gymnastics apparatus. In an ever evolving sport, they will be exposed to more practice time and even some conditioning.

ADVANCED GYMNASTICS

Gymnasts at this level must have met the requirements for the Intermediate level. Now that their skills have developed, strength has increased, focus has lengthened and awareness has peaked, gymnasts will approach some of the most complex and intricate skills in recreational gymnastics! It’s not just about skills… conditioning and flexibility play a huge role as the difficulty level has been amplified exponentially!

TUMBLING (INVITE ONLY)

This is an intermediate/advanced class and designed for those who have mastered handstands and balk walkovers. Gymnasts will work towards performing back and front handsprings and starting drills for advanced tumbling skills.
