Grade School Gymnastics

From Handsprings to Success
(6 years to 12 years old)

Grade school children are like sponges,
absorbing every new thing! They’re
ready to take on new challenges and
strengthen
their skills. As their physical
abilities continue to develop, their focus
and attention spans improve as well.

They’re growing like crazy but the pace
of change is unique to each.

That’s why our Grade School Gymnastics programs are a little different from those for our younger members. We’ve segmented our youth gymnastics classes into Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced to give students the chance to tackle the mat, vault, bar and beam at their own skill level. As a child gains new skills, they are encouraged to advance to the next level.

Our Grade School Children's Gymnastics classes focus on:

  • Advancing physical strength, flexibility and coordination through gymnastics training
  • Improving each child’s gymnastics skill proficiency
  • Improving confidence and expressive skills in social settings
  • Active group participation
  • Increasing willingness to take on leadership roles
  • Learning to handle success and disappointment
  • Increasing problem-solving and decision-making abilities
  • Maintaining attention and sustained concentration

Take a look at the six challenging gymnastics classes for children in this age group:

  • Flips – 6 years to 12 years; beginning girls
  • Twisters – 6 years to 12 years; intermediate girls
  • Aerials – 6 years to 12 years; intermediate/advanced girls
  • Jets – 6 years to 12 years; advanced girls
  • Hot Shots – 6 years to 12 years; beginning/intermediate boys
  • Flick Flacs – 6 years to 12 years; advanced boys
