With our gymnastics spring floor, 48' tumble track, multiple sets of uneven bars, multiple beams, vaulting equipment, and our staff of trained instructors, we strive to offer small classes and quality instruction in a family friendly environment!
Toddler gymnastics (ages 1-2years old): This class is an exposure class that helps young children start to develop basic body build and coordination. All around events are taught on a very beginner level. A parent or grandparent must attend class with a toddler gymnasts.
Pre-school Gymnastics (ages 3-5 years old): This level is targeted to help children attend class with only a teacher and no parent assistance. The curriculum is centered around USAG level one skills. The class focuses on floor skills like rolls, cartwheel, and handstands. The bars are utilized for body strengthening, pullovers, casts, back hip circles, and cast aways. The vault goals are proper board usage and squat, standing and forward roll vaults. The balance beam utilizes level 1 USAG skills like mounts, dismounts, scales, arabesques and beam turns and walks.
Beginner Gymnastics (6-9 year olds): This class is geared to the child who has no experience and wants to learn the fundamentals of all 4 events. The curriculum is centered around USAG level 2. Once a child has mastered most of the level 2 skills they can then enter the competitive Level 2 competitive program.
Competitive levels 2,3, Excel bronze, gold, platinum and Diamond (by skill not by age): All of the mentioned levels are eligible to compete if they choose to. However, a child can train this level recreationally. We train all children the same whether they compete or not. So, they continue to advance even if they do not compete as they master the required skills. If they compete they will continue to advance in the USAG levels or the excel program as they qualify. We have the philosophy that family is first. So, parents choose which meets their child attends. We do not require children to attend a certain number in a season. If a child wants to participate in regional or national championships they will need to attend enough to qualify to advance to those competitions.
