Class Experience

Intermediate Level

This Intermediate Gymnastics Class is perfect for the young gymnast who has mastered their beginner gymnastics skills, and is excited to improve upon their technique, and gain new skills. This class also caters to those with busy schedules, that do not fit into the current time offerings for live Gymnastics Class meetings, or who simply do not prefer to take live classes. Self-Paced classes allow students to take class anytime of the day or night, at the most convenient time for their schedules. 

Gymnasts joining this Intermediate Gymnastics Class should already have mastered their Beginner A and B Gymnastics Skills:
Floor:
-Bridges
-Log Rolls
-Backward Rolls
-Forward Rolls
-Kickover Progressions
-Handstands
-Cartwheels

-Coupe Walks
-Passe' Walks

Jumps:

The class will focus on fundamental gymnastics skills for both the floor exercise, and the balance beam (no equipment required). 

Lesson Overview:
All lessons will be approximately between 15-20 minutes long, and will cover a new tumbling skill, jump, and balance beam skill for the week. Students may refer to our 10 minute warm up and stretch video, or choose to stretch themselves prior to class time. All classes will end with a reminder to complete our weekly conditioning list in order to build the strength needed to continue progressing within the sport of gymnastics. 

While there will be no required homework, gymnasts are always encouraged to post videos and pictures in our classroom page to showcase their progress and accomplishments. Gymnasts are always welcome to message me for feedback on any given skill they are looking to improve.

Other Details

Parental Guidance

While skills in this class are catered to at-home learning, parental guidance is always necessary, as any sort of physical activity can be dangerous, and could potentially result in injury. Students should wear moveable athletic-wear in order to fully engage in each activity. They should also have a safe space to practice gymnastics, free of any obstacles, alongside a clear wall nearby for handstand progressions. A gymnastics mat, yoga mat, rug, or soft surface should be available for performing tumbling skills. A water bottle is also advised.
