Recreational Gymnastic Class Descriptions
Kinder Beginner
One hour long, this class is designed for the kindergarten aged student; it serves as a bridge between our Tots and Beginners classes, incorporating the best of both worlds. While continuing to enjoy some of the super fun stuff like the Tots obstacle course, they also begin learning all the Beginner skills on Floor Exercise, Vault, Uneven Bars and Balance Beam. They start off with a dance warm up based upon the current gym theme, stretch, and work basic tumbling. Moving on they begin to learn foundational skills on the gymnastics equipment, tumbl trak, and of course-the obstacle course! These classes are one hour long.
Beginners
One hour long, these are our entry level classes for students 1st grade and up. They consist of a safe and fun introduction to rolling, bouncing, twisting and all around gymnastics movement education. Every 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.
Intermediates +
90 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 30 minutes longer, giving more practice time to increase their skill base.
