AGA CLASS LEVEL STRUCTURE

 TUMBLE BEAR CLASSES are designed specifically for age 15 months to 2 years of age.  Lots of jumping, rolling, swinging, and laughing that is 100% pure crazy fun!  Small and large motor skill development activities will be introduced in this 30 minute class.  A creative exploratory stimulating world of colors, sizes, heights, and shapes.  Join our expert staff as they provide stimulating play situations for your small child to grow in physically.

 TUMBLING TWO’S CLASSES are geared to develop large and small motor skills in addition to color and number recognition in this 30 minute class.  Activities are fun filled as experienced personnel direct these little ones toward strength, flexibility, and personality development.  Equipment used includes balls, hoops, ribbons, and incorporation of gymnastic equipment (beam, bars, floor, and vault).  Our goal is to prepare children for pre-school gymnastics. 

BEGINNER CLASSES are designed for the “first time” student.  This class meets once a week for 1 hour and provides the beginner with the basic knowledge of gymnastics.  The primary goals are for your child to learn all basic body positions, movement vocabulary, gym etiquette, and what the sport of gymnastics is all about.

BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE CLASSES are designed to build your child’s confidence and increase their knowledge of vault, bars, balance beam, floor exercise, and trampoline.  This class meets 1 to 2 times per week and is 1 hour in length.  Basic biomechanics and beginning level skill progressions are stressed.  Various skills must be accomplished prior to advancing to the intermediate level class. 

INTERMEDIATE CLASSES are designed to build your child’s ability to perform skills on all of the Olympic events.  While improving the performance of earlier skills, new skills are added and self confidence continues to grow.  Again, various skills must be accomplished prior to advancement to the next class level.  Enrollment is once or twice a week (optional) for a 1 hour class. 

ADVANCE INTERMEDIATE/PRE-ADVANCED CLASSES offer more complex skills for your child to master.  Skills begin to be practiced in combinations, and refinement of each skill is stressed.  Degree of refinement is the primary consideration for advancement to the next level.  Enrollment is once or twice a week for a 1 ½ hour class. 

DEVELOPMENTAL/HOT SHOT CLASSES are especially designed for the younger child who has demonstrated the ability and desire to advance further in the sport.  Attitude and conduct are of great importance at this level. Students in this program are required to attend two classes per week for at 2 hours per class.  Hot Shot classes are highly structured sessions for outstanding 4 to 7 year old students that are looking at future competitions.  Several gymnasts from this class have gone on to become state champions!

PRE-TEAM/TEAM CLASSES are structured for children who have a desire to be on our competitive team.  Your child must have demonstrated ability, proficiency, and a proper attitude to continue in this highly structured class level.  Training is based on nationally recognized skill guidelines and levels (USAG & USAIGC).  The class is team oriented and includes training in dance.  Classes vary in length and frequency.  The class is a year-round commitment and is by invitation only.

SAFETY

Safety is stressed in all phases of your child’s development.  Your child is taught how and why.  Students are taught to think about what they are doing and the resulting effects at each step of development.  This type of training, in addition to repetitions, leads to more rapid skill acquisition and a better understanding of the sport and its demands. 

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND YOUR CHILD IS PROMOTED BASED ON MATURITY, DESIRE,

ATTITUDE, CONDUCT AND ABILITY TO ACCEPT CHALLENGES AT THE NEXT LEVEL
