RECREATIONAL GYMNASTICS

This class structured to encourage caregiver/child interaction in a gymnastics environment. Caregivers aid the child by providing spotting assistance and helping to keep your little one focused under the careful guidance of a certified coach. Classes are designed to assist with your child's social and cognitive development as well as developing gross motor skills in a safe, fun and encouraging environment through age‑appropriate gymnastics skills. Circuits and gymnastics apparatus are used to promote exploration while teaching skills such as swinging, jumping and climbing. These skills begin the process of body awareness and physical development.

 

This class provides just the right amount of structure to teach children to listen and follow directions while maintaining an environment promoting the fun, fitness and fundamentals of gymnastics. Your child will experience a consistent class routine where they will be introduced to a variety of age‑appropriate gymnastics skills. Children will progress at their own pace while being constantly challenged by our qualified coaching staff. As children at this age are ready to participate in classes without their parents, they will experience the joy of independence providing the stepping‑stone into our Recreational Program. The foundation for future gymnastics learning is laid in this co‑ed program.

 

Canada's National Skill Development Program that introduces children to the basic acquisition and preparation of introductory skills for recreational gymnastics. There are 12 color-badge levels with 20 progressive skills in each level. Through organized skill based circuits on each apparatus; Floor, Vault, Bars, and Beam, your child has the opportunity to learn and master skills at their own pace. In order to complete a badge, the gymnast must be able to perform each skill required for that level three times consecutively, correctly and consistently. Evaluation takes place constantly throughout the session to keep children challenged but not stressed.
