Tots Program
Tots (Age 3 to 5): Watch your child as they become a big boy or big girl! These “All by Myself” fun and positive gymnastics circuit classes consist of activities that promote coordination, strength, flexibility, and all the fundamentals of gymnastics movement education! The classes are designed for potty trained children 3-5 years old who are confident following directions from a teacher and able to participate in a group environment type of structured class without their parents’ presence. They will be learning how to stay with a group, understand and follow directions while developing independence from their parent. Our lesson plans will build on those concepts while introducing your child to physical activities that will engage their imagination to develop gross motor strength, coordination, balance, body awareness, & flexibility. This is a structured, theme-related class with a warm-up, obstacle course and event rotations, providing fundamental opportunities on the gymnastics events. Carefully designed gymnastics lesson plans incorporate weekly themes, music, rewards and games to provide a safe and exciting progression that will challenge each child to the best of their ability throughout the year.

Beginner Level 1
This 55 minute class is for Beginner Level 1 students who are transitioning from our Kinder Tots class that are ready to move on to the next level. For new students, this is a great introduction for 1st grade and above. Class begins with a brief aerobic warm-up, followed by stretching and basic tumbling. Moving on from there they will train on two Olympic gymnastics events per lesson. Floor Exercise and Vaulting one week, Uneven Bars and Balance Beam the next; alternating throughout the year. Beginning fundamental and foundation skills in these gymnastics disciplines will help them develop body awareness, strength, and coordination that apply not only to gymnastics, but to all sports.
Beginner Level 2
This 55 minute class is for Beginner Level 2 students who are transitioning from Beginner Level 1 that have mastered Level 1 skills and are ready to move to the next level. For new students, this is a great class for ages 8+ with introductory gymnastics experience. Beginner Level 2 will Introduce new skills while continuing to improve skills from previous level 1. It will follow the same structure as our Level 1 entry class focusing on new progressions of skills, strength, and flexibility.
Intermediate Level 3
Invite Only - This class includes Intermediate Level 3, Developmental, Advanced, and Skilled Gymnasts. 75 minutes long, these classes are designed to continue to build on the foundation that was laid during Beginners classes. While the basics are always reviewed and applied, it is now time to take what they’ve learned and hone those skills, building upon that foundation to develop new and more difficult skills. Focus is now on performing skills with better execution, better form, and better body shaping. The workouts are 20 minutes longer, giving more practice time to increase their skill base.
Advance
Invite Only- Gymnasts must be evaluated by a coach before they enroll. This 90-minute class is for those students who have nailed the basics and are ready for more advanced skills, work and expectations. This class will prepare gymnasts for competitive gymnastics if that is the direction they are working towards. With a longer class time than any of our other recreational classes, expect to incorporate more flexibility, strength, & event training.
