Class Descriptions
Wee-Flippers:For gymnasts ages 18 months to 36 months. This class is 45 min class and requires a “team mate” (aka: adult). Children will learn beginning gymnastics progressions and loco-motor skills through movement and exploration in this fun-filled class.
Dragon Flyers:
For boys & girls, ages 3 & 4 yrs. This class is 45 min long. Young children are introduced to basic positions and beginning tumbling skills, as well as the basics on beam, bars, vault & our tumble track. We also explore a variety of other loco-motor skills. Emphasis is on exposure, not mastery of skills at this level.
Gym Kids & Kinder Flippers:
Boys & Girls, Ages 5 and 6 years. This class is one hour long. Children work on beginning tumbling skills and also the basics of bars, beam, vault & tumble track. We continue to develop basic loco-motor movements. We start to work on mastery of the basic skills in this class.
Girls Level 1:
For girls 1st grade and older, the class meets for 1 hour. The curriculum focuses on the basics and is designed for students just entering our Progressive Program.
Girls Advanced:
For girls 1st grade and older who have completed their Level 1 Skill Card. This class meets for 1 hour and gymnasts have the option to attend one or two times per week. Our advanced students build on what they learned in Level 1 and begin to work on more advanced skills.
Girls Level 2/3:
Once our students have completed the skill cards for both Level 1&2, a slightly higher commitment level is required. This class meets for 1 1/2 hours, twice weekly and students begin to expand their repertoire of advanced skills. This is the highest level in the “progressive” program.
TNT, tough n-tumble Boys:
For boys 1st grade and older, the class meets for 1 1/2 hours. The curriculum builds on skills in USA Gymnastics Levels 1through 3. The extra 1/2 hour is necessary as students begin to learn more advanced skills. This is the highest level in our Progressive Program.
Our Boys & Girls Level classes follow USA Gymnastics' Junior Olympic Developmental Program. The skills they learn in class are progressive and build on the previous level. As our students work in each developmental level they are building strength, flexibility, balance and spatial awareness which are inherent in gymnastics. These elements lay a great foundation that will enhance and support any sport they choose to be involved in. Our Progressive class students will work on all the appropriate gymnastics events and also work tumble track trampoline, and a variety of mats and equipment designed to facilitate learning.
Students move from one level to another in our progressive program by mastering specific skills. Only when certain skills are mastered, can we be assured of our student’s safety and success in the next level. We train our teachers to emphasize fun, safety and to create a positive and constructive learning environment.
