You may notice some changes in our gymnastics programming heading into the 2019-2020 season...
After students take Introduction to Gymnastics, they can choose a more FUN BASED or SKILL BASED track depending on their goals and level of seriousness with the sport.
RECREATIONAL GYMNASTICS CLASSES
: Fun Based
INTRODUCTION TO GYMNASTICS (K - 6th Grade):
This is a class developed for all new students looking to be exposed to the sport. Basic skills and terminology will be taught in a fun and engaging way. This class is for all new students who have not yet been recommended for GYM FOR FUN or tested into Intensive Gymnastics.
NOTE:
If your child is new to gymnastics or does not have a handstand, cartwheel or has no prior experience with the BARS, BEAM OR VAULT, they are an Intro student.
GYM FOR FUN 1 - 3 (K - 8th Grade):
Open level, no assessment classes (FORMERLY FUNdamentals) tailored to student abilities and interests. These classes are divided by age and not ability level. Focus is on the enjoyment of learning gymnastics! This is a no pressure class, perfect for students whose goal is to progress and learn new cool skills but not interested in the seriousness of conditioning and drills required to advance to our team program.
