MINI STARS GYMNASTICS

3 & 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!

 

Sports Readiness Benefits

Participation in organized sports provides an opportunity for toddlers to increase their physical activity and develop physical and social skills. This will help prepare them for all other sports or activities they will participate in.

Cognitive Lessons

The ability to learn new skills and understand new concepts will help them begin to make sense of current events, solve problems and steadily improve memory. Toddlers will begin to interpret the meanings of their experiences. Their vivid imagination will start to take place.

Locomotor Curriculum

Locomotor skills are the basic ways to move, the building blocks of coordination. Locomotor activities occur frequently in gymnastics such as running, skipping, hopping, jumping and landing. Gymnastics class helps develop all of these locomotions.
