MINI STARS GYMNASTICS

3 yrs & 4 yrs

Our preschool gymnastics classes are designed with the needs of the preschooler in mind. Participation in a preschool gymnastics class is an opportunity for children to begin experiencing gymnastics without the help of parents.

Your child will begin to learn and master skills at this level. They will be introduced to all 4 Olympic events (Beam, Bars, Floor and Vault).

Gymnastics is one of the best sports for toddlers to be involved in – along with developing your child’s gymnastics skills and physical fitness, our preschool gymnastics program will also help build a strong foundation for your child to develop discipline, a sense of athletic achievement, self-esteem and social skills that will last a lifetime!
