Instructional Programs





GYMNASTICS

We offer quality developmental gymnastics and tumbling programs to the youth of the community in a wholesome and nurturing environment. The programs start with ages 2-up.

Beginner: learning handstands, cartwheels, and building core strength to hold their weight while pushing their head off the ground in an upside down "bridge" position.

Intermediate: perfecting beginner skills and adding round offs in addition to kicking over from bridge and beginning backhand springs.

Advanced: mastered cartwheels, round offs and has strength to bridge and kick over by themselves to work backhand springs, tucks, layouts 1/2 and full.

All classes include some work in basic USAG requirements for balance beam, vault, and uneven bars.

Team and Pre-team: for kids that can't get enough gymnastics and spend a good bit of their time outside gym upside down. We learn USAG routines and normally compete in a fun competition experience in Tupelo in early April.
