Progressive Curriculum

Our curriculum is fun, challenging and progressive. The activities in each class are appropriate for each gymnasts developmental level. All of the lessons and skills are compartmentalized into small linear progressions, making the harder skills more attainable. Children respond extremely well to rewards, and getting new skills in class are what drives the fun in our programs.

Skill Mastery

Through the presentation of proper progressions, spotting, and practice, 5-10 year olds are capable of mastering many impressive gymnastics skills and sequences.

Better Students

Scholastic advantages exist for children who are physically active. Studies have shown a direct correlation between physical movement and reading readiness. Physical activity calls in to play ocular pursuit of the eyes. When the eyes follow patterns from left to right, cognitive skills are enhanced for reading. You find a lot of these skills in gymnastics.
