Embers

Ages 4 - 6 years

60 minute class 1-2 times a week

​

This class is structured to develop skills geared toward competition-level skills. The athletes will continue to work on basic gymnastics skills including cartwheels, handstands and bridges on the floor, front supports and circling skills on bars, balance skills including jumps and hops on beam, rolling skills, and dismounts. This is a girls-only class in which the girls will be exposed to the strength required to do many of the skills they will be working on in a more structured class. On vault, focused skills are running and punching on the springboard, dive rolling, and flat falls.  On bars, the students will work on casting and forward and backward circling skills to develop into dismounts. Time during class is spent in the kindergym along with the large gym facility. More conditioning is built into this class structure to prepare the athletes for the expectations of a team track setting.  If competition is the direction you think your child will go, this is a great way to ease them into the transition.
