Class Experience

Gymnastics is a sport that requires strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, slow-sustained and quick-twitch muscle action, and so much more. A foundation in gymnastics is a great base for your child's fitness, playground skills, and future in any sport.   

This camp is for gymnastics beginners who would like to learn the fundamentals. Each student will learn progressively harder gymnastics at their own pace and be encouraged to support their classmates. Class will be a mix of live instruction and slides/ video clips that include:
  
1. Live interactive warm-up, stretch, and "circle time"
2. Rolls (i.e. log roll, egg roll, forward roll, etc.)
3. Jumps and landings
4. Progressions toward handstands and cartwheels
5. Body Shaping (strength and stretching exercises to promote proper gymnastics technique)

Students who progress quickly will be given extra challenges. Small group instruction means that each student will get personal attention and corrections. My coaching style is theatrical, highly enthusiastic, and focused on verbal positivity ("Push hard and straighten your arms!" rather than "Stop bending your arms").  

This class is geared toward students with little to no gymnastics experience. Students should dress in athletic clothing, have a wide open space, soft surface for landing, and a few other pieces of equipment. Gymnastics mats are optional, but not needed. Equipment can be found in the supply list below.

Learning Goals

Students will learn gymnastics terminology and basic skills, and improve their coordination, strength, and flexibility.
