From 18 months to 88 years there is a program for you here at Midwest Gymnastics! |
Does your son have more energy than the Energizer Bunny?
This class teaches basic gymnastics skills in a safe and fun
environment. Children spend time on each of the six men’s
gymnastics apparatus as well as trampoline and tumble-trak
to learn skills such as: forward rolls, running drills, and
how to swing on the rings. Behavior concepts introduced in
Mighty-Tykes are reinforced and new ideas like conditioning
and proper skill technique are introduced.
Does your son watch the Spiderman movies and think that
crawling all over and jumping off the furniture is a great
form of exercise? Children continue to be exposed to all of
the gymnastics apparatus and build on the basic gymnastics
skills taught in Ironmen. Children continue to learn new skills
but at a slightly faster pace than the previous level. The
environment continues to be safe and fun. Ideas like body
awareness and hand-eye coordination play a larger role in the curriculum. Understanding of behavior concepts such as: standing in line, listening to directions, and respect for others is expected.
Does your son spend more time upside down than right-side
up? Children continue to be exposed to all of the men’s
gymnastics apparatus and build on the basic gymnastics skills
taught in Ring Masters. They are also introduced to new skills
such as: drills for circles on the mushroom, round offs, back
handsprings on floor, and various types of swings on the parallel
bars. The learning environment continues to be safe and fun,
but concepts of proper skill technique and form play a larger
role in the curriculum. Understanding of behavior concepts
such as: standing in line, listening to directions, and respect
for others is expected.
Does your son ask, “Are we at gymnastics yet?”
Children continue to be exposed to all of the men’s
gymnastics apparatus and build on the basic gymnastics skills
taught in Gym Maniacs. They are also introduced to new more
challenging skills such as: connecting round-offs and back
handsprings on floor, specific swings on high bar, parallel
bars and rings, and using the competition vault. Children
are introduced to ideas such as connecting multiple skills
together to form a routine and how to remain positive and
determined in frustrating situations. The learning environment
continues to be safe and fun, but conditioning and flexibility
play a larger role in the curriculum. Understanding of behavior
concepts such as: standing in line, listening to directions,
and respect for others is expected. |
