Junior Gymnastics – 2 years old to 7 years old.
PREP- GRADE 1 Program
As an introduction to gymnastics, we offer classes that have been developed to teach children basic gymnastics skills in a fun, encouraging and engaging environment.
Junior Gymnastics combines games, music, structured and progressive activities that focus on the “Dominant Movement Patterns” (DMP). The Dominant Movement Patterns are Spring, Rotation, Statics, Landings, Locomotion and Swing. These DMP’s have been developed to provide a solid foundation for physical development in children.
The Junior Gymnastics Program has been designed to cater for all ability levels, whilst still maintaining a strong emphasis on fun.
The program includes use of large equipment, small equipment, and handheld apparatus to develop fine and gross motor skills. The Junior Gymnastics Program will help children to develop their balance, coordination, and spatial awareness skills as well as teaching those important values of discipline, goal setting and teamwork. The program allows all children to feel a sense of achievement in a safe and fun environment.
Gymnasts will learn skills on the trampoline and foam pit to assist in technique and safe development. Gymnasts will spend time during the session developing their strength, conditioning, and flexibility.
