Recreational Gymnastics

These classes are a great introduction to the world of comprehensive gymnastics. Your athlete will receive a well-rounded experience for all components of gymnastics each time they come to class: strength and conditioning, flexibility, body shapes, skill terminology, and a progression of the skills needed on each event. Tumbling components on floor will include the very basics like multi-directional rolls, handstands, cartwheels, round offs, and bridges, leading all the way up to skills like front and back handsprings, front and back tucks, pikes, and layouts. Vault will focus running technique, board entries, blocking, and general body shapes needed for proper landing. Bars will focus on grip strength, types of swings and their necessary shapes, timing, regrips, and technique, basic skills like pullovers, back and front hip circles, squat ons, under swings, sole circles, and more as athletes progress through their levels. Beam will focus on the very basics like getting on and off the beam safely, core, ankle, and foot strength needed for balance, walking, hopping, jumping, all the way through handstands, cartwheels, dismounts, and more.

We have a ton of class options for your little gymnast!
