Our Girl's School Age Program is based on ACTUAL USA Gymnastics levels and skills, not AAU recreational levels. This allows athletes that later think that they may be interested in furthering their training, the opportunity to do so without having to back track and re-train skills and requirements. Even if they don't want to do anything more than recreational gymnastics it is still the best option so that they keep the door open should they change their mind later on. It is also a safer and more confident way of teaching skills, using progressions!
Girl's Beginner School Age Gymnastics Classes - We only have girls equipment in our program, and therefore do NOT offer a boys school age program. Our Girl's School Age Program is for girls who are 5 1/2 years old or older. All young ladies must start in our beginner program, unless they are tested by one of our instructors, who may then move them into an advanced beginner class if they have adaquate skills. Athletes in this program work on Bars, Beam, Floor, Vault and Trampoline skills. This class teaches basic body positions for gymnastics skills, terminology and basic gymnastics skills like cartwheels, forward and backward rolls, basic balance skills on beam, and beginning skills on bars and vault. Skills are learned through progressions in a safe and positive environment. Instructors always keep in mind that children all develop at different rates. Athletes tend to remain in this only for a few months. This level is mostly to get their feet wet and become familiar with equipment, terminology and basic skills. When they have learned the skills necessary to move into the next level, the coach will give written notice to the child that they are ready to move into an advanced level. We offer a consistant adult coaching staff. You will know who your coach is and they seldom miss work. They care about their students. This is a 55 min. class that meets once per week. There are only 8 students per class. Monthly Cost: $55 per child ($50 if paid by the early bird date)
Girl's Advanced Beginner School Age Gymnastics Classes - This class is for girls who are 5 1/2 or older who already have a basic knowledge of gymnastics terminology and basic skills.
