SHINING STARS GYMNASTICS
Ages 5 Years +
Once your daughter reaches kindergarten she is eligible to enroll in this gymnastics level. We allow boys to enroll in this program as well, however we do not have boys equipment.
Skills taught include cartwheels, handstands and rolls as well as basics on bars, beam, and vault. Girls are organized into classes according to both age and ability. As a student in this program, your daughter will benefit from increased physical activity and improve in areas such as strength, flexibility and coordination. Our skill development curriculum is progressive and the skills will be worked on all 4 Olympic Gymnastic events (Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam & Floor Exercise) as well as Trampoline.
PROGRESSIVE CURRICULUM
Our curriculum is fun, challenging and progressive. The activities in each class are appropriate for each gymnasts developmental level. All of the lessons and skills are compartmentalized into small linear progressions, making the harder skills more attainable. Children respond extremely well to rewards, and getting new skills in class are what drives the fun in our programs.
BETER STUDENTS
Scholastic advantages exist for children who are physically active. Studies have shown a direct correlation between physical movement and reading readiness. Physical activity calls in to play ocular pursuit of the eyes. When the eyes follow patterns from left to right, cognitive skills are enhanced for reading. You find a lot of these skills in gymnastics.
PHYSICAL HABITS
Children need different amounts of physical activity at different ages. It’s good for children to spend more time being active and less time sitting still. It’s easier to be active when you love something, that’s gymnastics for a lot of children!
