In the beginner gymnastics class, your athlete will focus on core strength, arm strength, and flexibility. Gymnasts will continue to focus on balance and coordination through repetition of basic gymnastic skills. All athletes will grow at their individual pace with encouragement and positive reinforcement from our professional coaching staff. As your athlete works on basic skills, he/she will also become familiar with gymnastics terminology.
This class is designed for the young gymnast. Your young athlete’s focus in this program is to learn the proper drills, skills and conditioning for our upper level gymnasts. Athletes in this class are reaching towards accomplishing specific goals. This is a high energy program that places great emphasis on proper form, techniques, skill progressions and fun. Your athlete will work on developing good basic habits. Stretching and flexibility work are an integral part of these gymnastic classes. Upon completion of this class your athlete will be starting to develop the physical strength needed to progress further into the next levels.
A gymnast who has progressed to the intermediate level has developed the strength and flexibility needed to learn more advanced skills. As the levels progress, the required skills become more demanding. Intermediate gymnasts also have mastered basic skills on many of the events. While the basics are always reviewed and applied, it is now time to challenge what they’ve learned, refine their skills and develop more advanced techniques of execution!
This gymnastics class will continue to build on good basic gymnastics skills and start learning more advanced skills. This class will focus on developing control on the bars.
