SUMMER GIRL'S REC Class Descriptions

Every Girls Recreational Gymnastics class begins with a 15-minute warm-up.  Following the warm-up, the class will move to various areas of the gym to learn at each of the four girls’ competitive events (vault, uneven parallel bars, balance beam and floor exercise), trampoline, Tumbl Trak, rope, mini-tramp, pit, etc.  Typically, each class will focus on three or four  “areas” for a two-week period so that our students can learn and perfect skills before they move on to the other areas of the gym and learn more skills.

 

REC. I (5 – 6 yrs.)

This class introduces kindergarteners and 1st graders to new skills that build on those they’ve learned in our Preschool program.  The children learn new ways to roll, improve their cartwheels and strengthen their muscles.  We include a variety of challenges (e.g. eye/foot coordination, balance) that will enhance any sport a child may play, not just gymnastics. 

REC. II (7 + yrs.)

This class for our beginner gymnasts is designed to improve flexibility and strengthen muscles while we help each student work on individual skills.  After a thorough group warm-up, the students (divided by ability levels) rotate to their designated events.  Our instructors design exciting challenges using barrels, wedges, and ropes for the girls to utilize in the gym.

 

REC. III (7 + yrs.)

At this level, gymnasts are required to have at least three years of gymnastics.  The girls begin working on intermediate skills and combinations, concentrating more on proper form and technique, which allows them to build up to more challenging moves.  Exciting routines are designed to motivate the gymnasts to reach their individual goals. 

 

REC. IV  & REC. IV ADVANCED (7+ yrs.)

At this level, at least three years of gymnastics experience is required, as well as an evaluation.  The instructors will focus more on perfecting advanced skills and combinations so more challenging moves can continually be introduced. 

 

ELITE POWER PAWS (9+ yrs.)

This class is designed for older gymnasts with significant previous gymnastics training.  We work on new moves including more challenging mounts and dismounts, advanced tumbling combinations, and extensive work on the trampoline and Tumbl Trak.  Conditioning drills are an integral part of this class.

CHEERTUMBLING (9+ yrs.)

This class is perfect for helping cheerleaders improve their tumbling performance levels.  The class will include floor tumbling and jumps, enhanced through training on the Tumbl Trak and trampoline.
