During the weeks of September 17th through September 29th, all recreational students will experience the thrill of the Ninja Warrior phenomenon.  The popular NBC show, American Ninja Warrior, which on its 10th season, has attracted many gymnasts to take on it's grueling challenges.  
This month, we will do our very own ATA version of the show. Students will be challenged with obstacle courses, strength and agility moves and fun Ninja Warrior inspired activities. It's sure to be a month of action packed fun!

September's Safety Tip


At ATA, we have state of the art equipment (spring floors, Tumble Traks, landing mats, incline mats, etc.) which provides for a safe environment to learn gymnastics skills. While we do encourage stretching, conditioning & basic progressions at home throughout the week, there are many skills/drills that should ONLY be done in the gym on the proper equipment. If your child would like to practice at home, but you are unsure of what is safe, please check with customer service and they can refer you to an ATA manager who can give you helpful guidelines to ensure safety!

Acrobatic Gymnastics Team

August may be the "Dog Days of Summer", but here at ATA, August is a chance for new beginnings for our competition teams!  Athletes from our former teams mix with new recruits or move up levels and try out with new partners for the coming season!  Generally, our Novice Team, which is our entry level team, fills up with all new recruits!  It is so exciting and engaging to watch those new athletes begin to learn basics and fall in love with Acro!  Partnering athletes on the team is like putting together a complex puzzle!  There are so many different factors to consider such as age, size, experience and partner chemistry.  Fortunately, the athletes have made the process run smoothly with great enthusiasm, energy and eagerness to learn!  Both veterans and our newbies have put 100% effort forth these past weeks and we are so excited about the possibilities this season as we get started!  Team ATA is off to a great start!


 



Have a Great Day! 

"Life needs balance.  Life needs strength.  Start with gymnastics and go anywhere"

 

Sincerely,
