Class descriptions

PARENT/CHILD (AGES 2-3)

This parent-guided gymnastics class emphasizes on rhythmic movement, body awareness and repetition. This class focuses on both gross and fine motor development while emphasizing the importance of toddler socialization.

TUMBLE TOTS (AGES 4-5)

Children will independently explore beginning tumbling skills. Classes will emphasize confidence, following directions, listening and cooperating while using bars, beams, trampolines, and various mats. Children will learn to jump, balance, and roll while practicing taking turns and following a circuit. Parents can choose a one or two day per week option.

SUPER STARS (AGES 4-5)

This class is for children who are ready for a challenge but are too young to move into the youth program. Children will learn the basic skills of tumbling, vault, bars and beam while having fun and making new friends. Instructor’s consent is required prior to registration.

ROLLERS – LEVEL 1 (AGES 6-9)

In this beginner-level class, children will be practicing skills that will give them a strong foundation in gymnastics. Classes will focus on skills such as rolls, handstands, cartwheels on floor and basic skills on beam, bars and vault.

SWINGERS – LEVEL 2 (AGES 6-9)

In this intermediate class, gymnasts are introduced to more advanced skills and continue to build upon the fundamentals learned in Rollers. Classes focus on skills such as pullovers and hip circles on the bars, forward roll and basic jumps on the beam and handstands and cartwheels on the floor.

Please note Rollers is a pre-req. If your child was in gymnastics before, or you think he or she should be in this level, please contact Kristin at kdemann@statelineymca.org to set up an evaluation.

KIPPERS – LEVEL 3 (AGES 6-9)

This is an advanced class that continues to build on the skills learned in Swingers. At this level participants will be attempting to master skills including: round offs and kickovers on the floor, back and mill circles on the bars, handstands on the beam and dive rolls on the vault.

Please note: Swingers is a pre-req. A coach must indicate that your gymnast is ready for this level. If you believe your child is at this level, please schedule an evaluation with Kristin at kdemann@statelineymca.org.
