Recreational gymnastics is a noncompetitive gymnastics curriculum with a special emphasis on learning not only physically but mentally. Girls and Boys come to gymnastics one time per week for 45 minutes. Classes are fun and teach basic and intermediate skills and some advanced recreational skills. The objective is to have fun and become more physically active and fit through basic gymnastics skill building. We help each child set goals and work on skills at their level. Recreational gymnastics is not intended to produce a polished gymnast!

With only 45 Minutes per week it is realistic to expect your child to accomplish basic skills (unless the child has very natural strength, flexibility and talent) and some intermediate skills. These skills won’t happen over night! It will take time. In addition to gymnastics skill building, you should also expect to see your child having fun doing some socializing and enjoying gymnastics related games such as jump roping, parachutes, dancing/aerobic activities, especially in the 6- 8 year old range.

Something to keep in mind and what is sometimes hard to understand about gymnastics is how much work (time, conditioning, flexibility, dance) it takes to be an accomplished gymnast. You may see girls in the gym doing some really amazing skills, but keep in mind, those are most commonly team girls who are coming to practice between 6 and 18 hours per week and have likely been doing that for years! If you and your child desire to acquire a higher level of gymnastics skills more quickly, you may want to consider another program.
