Our focus is SAFETY & FUN!

The lessons learned in gymnastics class can help pave the way to a child’s success.  While high level gymnastics is available in our program, about 90% are enrolled in recreational gymnastics.  We encourage a positive learning environment for all students at every level.  Our gym does more staff training than most gyms in the state.  Gymnastics helps develop physical and mental skills that helps create a well-rounded athlete for all sports.  Do you want your child to be more fit, more agile, and stronger?  Stick with gymnastics!  Gymnastics also teaches work ethic – what a great life lesson!

Gymnastics involves skill repetition which is necessary for students to master different movements and progressions presented to them in class.  The frequency of attendance and duration of time spent on any sport or activity will greatly affect one’s progress.  Year round participation is recommended to foster continuous improvement. We encourage parents to be patient and supportive of their child’s progress.

Our pre-school curriculum focuses on exploration, basic motor skill development and coordination. Daytime and evening classes offered for ages crawling to 5.

POLLYWOG is a class for crawling to 2 years and requires participation with a parent/guardian.

TADPOLE is for 2-3 year olds and also requires participation with a parent/caretaker.  Three-year-olds who have never taken gymnastics are recommended to take this class first.

LEAP FROG & TREE FROG is for 3-5 year olds who can participate independent of their parent/guardian.  This class will emphasize creative movement, warm up, motor skill development and introduction to beginning gymnastics.  Working with other children and following instructions through games and movement will be taught and encouraged.  Participants must be fully potty trained.   Any student who has not yet reached his/her 5^th birthday must enroll for this class.

Our school aged curriculum is a fun program that follows progressions for learning skills on many different apparatus.  All students begin with the level 1 curriculum.  Each student will receive a poster to hang at home for the level that he/she is currently training.  During the designated week(s) of the session, the student will receive stickers for the skills he/she has achieved to put on the poster.  Putting stickers on the poster can become an exciting family event. Once all skills have been achieved, the student will receive the poster for the next level at registration time.  Once a gymnast has passed all level 3 skills, she may then be invited to join our competitive program.  For those not interested in competition, they may continue working on new levels in recreational classes.

While the student has a poster at home, the gym has a card on file to track each student’s progress too.  When a child moves to a different class or misses a session, the card is transferred to the new instructor.

All students will be working on a predetermined set of skills and sequences on each event.  Each new skill builds on a prior skill that has been attained.  While some skills are mastered easily others take much practice. The student is introduced to gymnastics through proper warm up, conditioning, flexibility and basic skills on all four women’s events, vault, uneven bars, beam and floor exercise.

Boys’ gymnastics will begin to focus on the strength and skills required in men’s gymnastics.  While our pre-school program and level 1 will remain co-ed, we offer a boys’ beginner, intermediate and advanced and team program.

This one hour class is designed for cheerleaders, those who need to incorporate acrobatics into other activities such as dance, wrestling or karate, or just for those interested in tumbling.  The focus will be on learning tumbling skills and improving the strength and flexibility required to perform such skills.

Cheer/Tumble is a fun “cheer” class that will teach students skills they need to prepare for cheer tryouts.  Students may learn a routine and compete in a mock competition toward other groups in the class.  Also, motions, jumps, basic stunting, tumbling, routines, flat cheer and choreography will be covered. 

This program follows a more intense year-round training schedule with expectations spelled out in the competitive program handbook. Participation requires a high level of dedication to the sport of gymnastics and is by invitation only. Strength, flexibility and technique will be emphasized along with concentrating on perfection of basic skills and Positions. We offer USA Gymnastics’ Junior Olympic Program Men’s & Women’s Competitive Gymnastics (through level 10).
