Lil Beginners

Our Lil Beginners class is an intro level class, most appropriate for students ages 5¾–7 years old who have little to no formal recreational gymnastics training. Students will learn gymnastics fundamentals that include, but are not limited to; Handstands, Cartwheels, Backbends/Kickovers, Pullovers on Bars, Casts on Bars and Trampoline/Vault basics!

Beginning

This is also an intro level class, using roughly the same lesson plan and core skills as our Lil Beginners class, but moves at a faster pace. Typically the most appropriate class for beginner level kids age 7+.

It can be hard to attain the skills to move into Intermediate, so this class is for students who are getting close to Intermediate, but are not quite there.

Intermediate

This class is best suited for kids who have some formal recreational gymnastics experience. We continue to improve our basics and move forward to more complex skills on the bars, beam, vault and floor. More conditioning and stronger stretches are added at this level to ensure the strength and flexibility to perform these skills.

Students work on strengthening floor skills introduced in beginners, without the assistance of mats. On bars, the pullover is mastered alone without a coaches spot while back hip circles and glide swings are introduced. On Vault, students begin learning how to punch into handstands on an elevated surface as well as many other vault basics. Beam is introduced with different walks, jumps, turns, and the beginning of handstands on the beam.

It is very common for athletes to remain in this level for several sessions, or longer, as the skills they must master begin getting more complex.

Advanced

This is the last level before our Pre-Team classes. We continue to progress and build up to hard skills. It is very common for athletes to remain in this level for several sessions, or longer, as the skills they must master begin getting more complex.

On floor, students learn back walkovers, front limbers, round offs, and handstand forward rolls. On bars, students begin learning the beginnings of kips & squat ons, as well as refining their pullovers, back hip circles and glide swings. On vault, students begin practicing handstand on the actual vault apparatus, as well as learning the first competitive vault; a handstand flatback. On beam, the handstand is progressed to a medium beam, while more difficult skills like leaps, turns, split jumps and a side handstand dismount is introduced.

Students who have graduated Advanced and would like to try out for Pre-Team should remain in Advanced until the next Pre-Team tryouts.

Masters 1

The first level of our Masters Program is open to students who have successfully progressed from Advanced. This class focuses on learning fun, new, level-appropriate skills, maintaining and improving gymnastics fundamentals, gaining strength and flexibility and, most importantly, fostering a love for the sport.

Masters 2

The next level for students who have successfully completed all requirements in Masters 1. This class is designed for athletes who want to continue advancing their gymnastics skills in a recreational environment while being challenged at a higher level. It is also an excellent option for gymnasts transitioning from a competitive program who want to stay active, continue developing their skills, and remain connected to the sport.
