Fun is #1 in developmental gymnastics with music, movement challenges, and motivation. Each session is about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Each session is quite engaging and includes regimented instruction, warm-up, strength and flexibility training, tumbling, obstacle course skills development, ball play, and lots of coordinated games and activities for enjoyment.
Conducted weekly, knowledgeable coaches arrive on site with a variety of multi-dimensional equipment including trampolines, rock walls, swing bars, balance beams, vaulting tables, octagons, and so much more in terms of apparatus which lends itself to fitness of both mind and body.
For it is in conjunction with such items that children within a non-competitive success-oriented format progress at their own rate to improve strength, balance, rhythm, flexibility, and overall motor coordination, and above all, build the confidence one needs to thrive in a variety of settings.
As important as providing a program rich in fun and laughter, students shy or otherwise who would not normally participate in such activities develop the courage to achieve that which they had not thought possible.
This class allows youngsters to participate in a program which promotes cooperative interaction and social development grow in a variety of ways, all the while becoming instilled with core values, positive characteristics, and healthy developmental habits that will endure a lifetime.
