Pre School Gymnastics
These classes range from 30 minutes to 45 minutes depending on age. They include pre- schooler level tumbling, flexibility, strength training, balance, coordination, and development of age appropriate motor skills. Children practice locomotor skills, such as jogging, galloping, skipping, hopping, chassés and stretching to warm up their muscles and create flexible bodies.
Children use child appropriate equipment and work on tumbling (floor mats) and mini-trampoline.
Movement to music is also part of the curriculum!
The lessons cover:
- Crossing the midline (bilaterality)
- Spatial awareness, body awareness
- Important perceptual and gross motor skills for this developmental stage
- Strengthening muscle tone
- Improving concentration
- Balance and proprioception
- Stimulation of co-ordination and agility
- Rhythm
The basic physical and thinking skills of gymnastics, tumbling and fundamental movement skills, promote not only strength, flexibility, co-ordination, and agility, but also develop important thought-processes and perceptual patterns that will be very important in your child’s other intellectual/physical pursuits that are necessary in both school and other sports.
School Age Gymnastics
Our gymnastics program for ages 6–13 takes kids on an exciting journey through our color-level system (Yellow, Blue, Red, Bronze, Silver, and Gold). Whether just starting out or working toward advanced skills, children learn tumbling and trampoline techniques while building strength, flexibility, speed, agility, and overall fitness. Beginners usually train once a week, while intermediate and advanced students train twice a week to master more challenging moves. Each level takes about a year to complete (depending on practice and ability), with progress marked by special grading assessments. Along the way, children grow in confidence, develop discipline, and celebrate every achievement as they reach new heights!
