Recreational Gymnastics
Coach David Wilson, Program Head
Beginners (6yrs and over)
Our recreational beginners classes are designed to provide
fun, safe, effective, and efficient instruction that promotes
self-esteem for students of all ages. These are one-hour classes
to train essential fundamental skills including running, jumping,
landing, rolling, cartwheeling, climbing, dropping, twisting,
and maneuvers in different body positions (e.g., tuck, pike,
straight, arched). We recommend that students take more than
one class per week to advance faster. The curriculum is divided
into units, each with required skill proficiencies. After
completing all required skills the student is promoted to
the intermediate level. Our curriculum will eventually include
instruction in fundamentals of the human sciences (anatomy,
physiology, biomechanics, fitness, and nutrition).
Intermediate (6yrs and over)
These two hour classes are an extension of the beginner classes
to become more skilled at essential maneurvers and to acquire
more advanced skills so that the student can either remain
in two hour recreation classes (i.e., Advanced Rec, Teen GymFit,
Adult FitGym, and Senior FlexFit) or advance to three hour
team training practices. Like with the beginner classes, this
program is based on units, each with required skill proficiencies
that extend from novice through advanced levels. In addition
to two hour intermediate classes, students may create two
hour classes by taking two one hour classes in series.
