Gymnastic Class Descriptions

Tutsi-Rolls (Parent and Me)
Ages: 18 mos-3yrs
6:1ratio (student: teacher)
Little ones enjoy 45 minutes of exciting baby gymnastics with a parent by their side. Using equipment and circuits designed specifically for toddlers. Our littlest “Tutsi-rolls” work on gross motor skills in a playful environment.

Tumblebees (3-4 years old)
8:1ratio (student: teacher) Toddlers love gymnastics! This 45 minute class introduces our little “Tumblebees” to the dynamic sport of gymnastics. We’ll channel all that buzzzy energy into organized, structured training on the tumble floor, baby beam, tumble track, baby bars and vault table. We offer professional instruction in a positive and fun environment.

Kinderbees (4-5 year old)
8:1ratio (student: teacher)
This 1 hour class introduces the young student to the basic skills and techniques in a fun and exciting environment. Our growing “Kinderbees” build strength and confidence as they learn skills on the tumble floor, bars, balance beam, tumble track and vault. Skills learned in the Kinderbees will prepare the student for future class in our Beginning Aerials gymnastics program.

Aerials (6 & up)
8:1ratio (student: teacher)
This program provides professional gymnastics instruction for students 6 years and older. Classes are offered for the new student all the way up to our most advanced team gymnasts. Aerial students train on all four main events: floor, bars, beam and vault. The program is taught in structured progressions using a star skill sheet. We take care in teaching proper form and technique and we maintain high standards in our classes with respect to effort, behavior, attitude and sportsmanship. We teach kids to work ard and stay focused, but we also want to teach them to love the sport and to enjoy their training.

Girls typically wear a leotard with or without shorts or sweatpants. Boys typically wear shorts or sweatpants and a t-shirt. For safety, loose clothes, buttons, zippers and jewelry are not allowed. Hair must be pulled back (avoid barrettes or hair decor).
