What will my child be doing in a Parent Participation Gymnastics Class?
In our Parent and Tot Class (18 months to 3 years old), we emphasize gross motor development. This class participates in songs with gymnastic movements, trampoline exercises, and gymnastics on equipment that is scaled down to a smaller size. We emphasize gross motor development, gymnastic movements, running, jumping, hopping, swinging, rolling, cart wheeling, and balancing using the Floor, Balance Beams, Bars, Vault, and Trampoline. All of these apparatus are scaled down to a smaller size. In this class, children also learn to work independently and how to follow directions, which is very beneficial for starting school
What activities will my child be doing in a Preschool Class?
In our Preschool classes, children ages 3.4 to 5 work on running, jumping, throwing, & hopping, along with other gymnastic activities such as walking across balance beams and swinging on the bars. They will also be learning how to do rolls, cartwheels, and handstands on the floor. This class also provides children with the opportunity to work independently, follow directions, and practice good listening skills.
What activities will my child be doing in a Boys or Girls Class?
Our boys and girls programs age 6+ explore the foundation of gymnastics. This includes learning how to do rolls, handstands, cartwheels, bridges, and dance elements such as leaps and chasses on the floor. They will learn coordination through walking, jumping, and hopping on the balance beams. They will gain arm strength by swinging and circling on the bars. And they will also gain speed and power by learning proper running and jumping on the vault.
Can parents watch?
Yes! Parents are more than welcome to sit and watch in the viewing area. If your child is nervous and does not want you to leave yet, we have a great parent viewing area that scans over the entire gym.

These classes only work on the floor and trampolines. We have advanced classes for more intense training without the competitive commitments.
Can I bring a friend to my gymnastics class?
