1-2 year olds | Requires Parent Participation  | 30 Minute Class

 

This class is for young girls, ages 5-6, who have completed kindergarten and are wishing to increase flexibility, coordination, balance and strength.  Basic skills are taught on floor such as handstands, cartwheels, forward rolls, backward rolls, bridge ups, and the first steps to roundoffs and backbends.  On beam they learn balance when learning walks, jumps, balance skills, mounts, and dismounts.  Bars improve upper body strength when they rotate through bar stations learning pull overs, leg cuts, back hip circles, and undershoots.  Vault improves coordination by learning to run and jump on the springboard and landing with two feet, once learning this they can move on to forward rolls and handstand fall flats onto the mats.  Gymnasts will also learn basic trampoline skills, as well as build strength when climbing the rope.
