BOYS INSTRUCTIONAL GYMNASTICS
We create a nurturing environment where children learn gymnastics with joy and positivity. Our focus is on instilling technically correct skills while nurturing listening and problem-solving abilities. Through encouragement and support, we help children develop a love for the sport while mastering its key elements.
Our weekly classes are open to students in first grade and up, emphasizing skill level rather than age. This approach ensures that each child is placed in the appropriate class based on their abilities, allowing for personalized instruction and optimal progress. We believe in fostering an inclusive environment where students can thrive and reach their full potential in gymnastics.
Our skill-based curriculum allows gymnastics to safely progress through each level at their own pace. Students may be considered for evaluation when they can consistently complete all the skills in their current level with good form.
