Common questions parents ask:
What age should my child start gymnastics?
Your child can start a structured gymnastics class as early as age 3. Children develop their fundamental movement skills between
the ages of 3 and 5.
What will they learn?
Students will learn basic gymnastics skills such as rolling, swinging,
jumping, and balancing. This includes positions such as tuck, straddle,
pike, and stretch (or layout). More difficult skills such as backward
rolls, handstands, and cartwheels are attempted with the aid of the
teacher.
For those children who demonstrate an aptitude for gymnastics at a young age, advanced classes are offered.
