CLASSES OVERVIEW

---

Monkey & Parent is for the kids 18 months-3 years to come play in the gym with mom, dad, a grandparent, or other care giver. It is designed to improve and enhance motor skills, while enjoying time together! In this class, they will learn forward and backward rolls, and they will get to climb and jump on all our bright colored mats. 

Monkey 3 is specially designed for three year olds that are full of energy! Monkey 3 combines just the right amount of beginning tumbling, balance, and coordination for those little ones who just cannot sit still. They will have fun while learning and getting stronger! 

Monkey 4&5 is for the little gymnast, not in kindergarten (ages 4 and 5), that wants to master the cartwheel and more fun gymnastics skills. This class is for both boys and girls. They will learn headstands, forward rolls, backward rolls, and continue building strength. When we move to the bars, you will see your child swing in different shapes; “L” swings, bell swings, turtle swings and monkey swings. Your little one will have fun while learning walks and jumps on beam. We do this in a creative way, over props or carrying a beanbag. We never forget the trampoline…the kids love to learn jumps, seat drops and seat drop table drops! 

Kinder Monkey is for boys and girls in kindergarten! These little gymnasts will learn gymnastics basics, but now we will work a little more on the form (feet together and arms straight). Kinder Monkeys always love to jump and move at gymnastics after being in school all day! 

Our Ninja Warrior Class is perfect for 4, 5, or 6 year old girls and boys who love to climb, jump, and test their skills on obstacle courses! Each week has a different theme such as strength, balance, or speed. Watch your little ninja grow stronger and more confident in their skills each week! 

Jumpers is a beginner class for elementary school aged girls from 1st – 5th grade. As with all of our classes, we begin with a fun warm up, and teach each gymnast proper stretching technique. On the floor, the gymnasts are instructed on how to do cartwheels, handstands, and forward & backward rolls. You will see your child advancing to the high beam, or continuing on the low beam if more comfortable, working different walks, pivot turns, stretch jumps, and scales. The trampoline is the place to learn tuck, straddle, and pike jumps, as well as seat drops, table drops, and forward rolls. They will learn foundational skills, so that they can learn front flips once they advance to the next level! 

Enrollment in Super Jumpers is by coach approval only. To be in this class, a gymnast must be able to do a bridge down on the floor, pullover on bars, and have all of the basics of gymnastics mastered. In Super Jumpers, gymnasts will learn bridge down kick overs and round-offs on floor. On bars, they will begin drills for kips and squat ons, and master the back hip circle. On beam, you will see your gymnast learning new skills, including the cartwheel on low beam! 

Fronts is the third level of our girls recreational program, and requires coach approval for enrollment. Before entering this class, the gymnast should have already learned the basics on all events, and are moving to bigger tricks: the back handspring, squat on, cartwheels on beam, front flip on trampoline, and front handsprings on vault. With more advanced skills you will see the gymnasts getting stronger! 

Advanced Fronts is the fourth level of our recreational program, and requires coach approval for enrollment. Before entering this class, the gymnast should have mastered the back handspring, back walkover, squat on, and front flip on trampoline, in addition to other foundational skills. Gymnasts will continue to learn and grow their gymnastics skill in Advanced Fronts. 

This class is for girls wanting to do High School gymnastics or just wants to have fun doing gymnastics. We have all levels in this class: from learning a cartwheel to learning to do a roundoff back handspring, this class is sure to be a fit for any middle school aged girl! 

Boys Level 1 begins with conditioning and teaching each gymnast proper stretching and the basics of gymnastics. On the floor, the boys will be taught cartwheels, handstands, forward rolls, and bridges. They will enjoy learning the basics of the high bar, including pull ups, pullovers, tap swings, and casting. On the rings, the gymnasts learn to invert into a skin the cat! The trampoline is the place to learn tuck, straddle, and pike jumps, as well as seat drops, and dive forward rolls. They will learn the foundations to begin learning bigger skills, like front flips. Another fun event for the boys is the vault! Each week they will practice running, hurdling and jumping onto the vault. 

Enrollment in Boys Level 2 is by coach approval only. To be in this class, a gymnast must be able to do a cartwheel on the floor, pullovers on bars, and have all the basics of gymnastics mastered. In Boys Level 2, they will become skilled at back handsprings, pullover back hip circles on the bars, front handsprings on vault, and skills on the mushroom and parallel bars. The trampoline is always a highlight, where they get to learn front flips. 

Come learn gymnastics skills with a parkour twist! Boys must be  in middle school (age 11-14) to join, so older boys can feel confident that there will be kids their age in the class. Students will still be learning gymnastics skills on all the same events as the other boys classes, but these will be in a fun parkour style!
