New Program Release: Gymnastics

An introduction to the basic components of gymnastics. Students will practice and develop body control, balance, mobility, strength, and more through the fun and exciting sport of gymnastics. We break down movements in categories like crawls, tumbling, jumps, beam, holds, and flexibility. Students are exposed to a wide-variety of movement options and exercises suitable for any and all fitness and gymnastics levels. 

Breakdown:

• 6 Total Sections 

  • Crawls

  • Tumbling

  • Jumps 

  • Beam

  • Holds

  • Flexibility 

Lesson Format: 

Each drill has written and video instruction. We recommend taking about 10 minutes on any drill to introduce the skill and allow time for students to practice. Teachers can pair and match different drills depending on total class time. In addition, students will benefit from reviewing and repeating drills over multiple classes to really fine tune their gymnastic skills. Eventually, teachers can create different stations for more independent practice and development.
