SCHOOL-AGE PROGRAM
Our school-age gymnastics program is divided into age groups. Children are given the opportunity to learn not only from a qualified gymnastics professional, but also from each other. Leaps & Bounds staff uses differentiated instruction to ensure that each student is learning at his/her individual pace, introducing more difficult skills when the student is ready and has adequately achieved pre-requisite skills. Achievement boards keep students focused and motivated while teaching goal-setting skills. Maximum teacher:student ratio is 1:8, most classes are smaller.
**A special note from Camie: Our curriculum has been especially designed for children of multiple levels to be successful. Lesson plans are implemented with a range of skills so that our teachers can provide a high-quality class for all students, whether they are beginners, or more advanced.
ELEMENTARY CLASSES
55-minute classes
Rollers (Kindergarten & 1st Grades) Twist Stars (2nd & 3rd Grades) Flip-Flops (4th & 5th Grades)
A class for kids of all skill and fitness levels to enjoy. Children move through the gymnastics curriculum at their own individual pace. Differentiated instruction means your child stays with his/her appropriate age group! In addition to specific skill instruction, gymnastics classes integrate music, rhythmic activities, cardio, strength and flexibility training.
FUTURE STARS
90-minute classes
A class for students who have mastered the basics and want to spend more time practicing more difficult skills. This class is great for non-competitive students or competitive team kids who want to add skills without the regular USAG routine work. Instructor approval. Once or twice a week.
TEEN GYMNASTICS
6th-12th Grades (55-minutes)
This class gives older students the same opportunities as younger kids to learn a new sport, or brush up on old skills without having to be in a class with "little kids"! We will focus on safely building tumbling skills leading up to the back-handspring and beyond, plus bars, beam and trampoline. The perfect class for high school competitors in the off-season.
Boys Gymnastics
Boys-only K-4th Grades (55-minutes)
Snips, Snails and Puppy-Dog tails...boys are unique and so are these classes designed especially for them! All the benefits of our co-ed classes, but with the camaraderie of other boys. Boys are always welcome in any of our other classes (except Future Stars), too!
BACK HANDSPRING CLINIC
3rd-12th Grades (55-minutes)
This class emphasizes all the elements of a back handspring. Proper tumbling progressions mean your child learns safely, progresses consistently, and gains confidence in his/her abilities.
