FUN, FITNESS AND FUNDAMENTALS
It is our goal to teach every child and provide them with the highest quality instruction regardless of their ability. We hope to help them gain confidence, self-esteem and gymnastics skills.
Our recreational gymnastics program is a developmental program offered to children ages 5 and up. Through the principles of fun fitness and fundamentals, with the full use of gymnastic equipment, music, games etc. we develop gymnastics skills. The principles of movement -swing, spring, statics, landings, locomotion and rotations – are all incorporated into the program.
