Gymnastics classes info & schedule
2011-2012 season is under way!
Many class still have availability. You may join at any time
through the season
Class descriptions: (We have named our classes to better
reflect what you are looking for in your gymnastics class experience.)
Hoppers and Boppers: ($40/mo.)
Boppers are just 33 months to 44months old and POTTY TRAINED. Being part of a
class is a new experience and some class time is spent learning how to behave in a
class setting; i.e. taking turns, lining up, following directions. They may or may not
be jumping two feet at once and/or hopping on one foot. Cartwheels are placement
of two hands on a cartwheel mat and stepping or kicking their feet to other side.
Hoppers are 3yrs – 5yrs and are developing their social skills along with their motor
skills. Some need more reminders than others to follow directions and take turns.
They usually are able to jump with both feet at once and land on two feet bending
their knees safely from 12 inches and more with appropriate padding. Hoppers can
hop several times on one foot without needing to place the other back down. Some
can already skip alternating feet. Cartwheels are starting to have a favorite side and
legs are kicked over cartwheel mat without touching feet on mat and land on feet on
other side.
Hoppers & Boppers are in class together to learn social as well as gymnastic skills.
Hoppers have an opportunity to be more of a leader through class while Boppers
can learn from the older more experienced Hopper.s
Skippers ($44/mo.)– 5 – 7 yrs old (in kindergarten or just missed cut – off)
Skippers are 5 – 7 years old and kindergarten age or very close. Skippers usually
can skip alternating feet and we work on learning or improving upon a run, skip,
cartwheel. We usually use a cartwheel mat but expect legs to stay apart for
cartwheel and emphasize the lunge position before and after cartwheel. We do
bridges in class, but mainly only push into bridge position and return back to floor.
Swingers ($52/mo.) – 6 – 10 yrs old – All 1st & 2nd, new 3rd grade, some 4th &
5th grade.
Swingers are getting “in the swing of things” in more ways than one. They are now
in a full day of school and are ready to handle an hour long gymnastics class.
Swingers love to swing on bars, rope, etc. at gymnastics. They know the difference
between a cartwheel (legs stay apart) and a round-off (legs start apart and then
come together before landing). Swingers are learning to or may already be able to
kick bridges over and bend back into bridges. We’ll work on improving strength in
the handstand position to better support more advanced gymnastics skills and have
a lot of variety in experiencing all different apparatus available.
Springers ($52/mo.) – 8 – 16 yrs old with experience and strong interest
Springers have had gymnastics experience and are able to do cartwheels and round-
offs well. Springers can kick a bridge over with little or no assistance and can control
a handstand into either a bridge or a forward roll. Some may already be able to do a
front and/or back handspring unassisted. Springers are all about handsprings and
we’ll be practicing them front and back but also spending lots of time on the other
apparatus.
Movers and Groovers ($52/mo.) are 9 yrs and up and may or may not have
gymnastics experience
Movers and Groovers love all the fun aspects of gymnastics and may or may not
want to learn handsprings and more advanced gymnastics skills. Classes will have
emphasis on fun and varied exercise. Cartwheels, round-offs and handstands will
be a staple in every class but we’ll mix it up using the balls and parachute more than
in Springers classes and work on skills where participants feel safe and successful,
but also challenged.
Flippers ($52/mo.) are 9 yrs & up with experience and mastery of handsprings,
front and back.
Flippers can do front and back handsprings well enough unassisted that they can
work on connecting them with other skills. Unlike tumblers, flippers will also be
learning skills on the other apparatus.
Tumblers ($52/mo.) are 8 and up wanting to improve tumbling skills
Tumblers are interested most in back handsprings and round-off back handspring
combinations. We will also work on building strength to support tumbling skills.
Those who can round-off, back handspring will also be working on multiple back
handsprings and flips. Some time will also be spent on front tumbling. We will use
the other apparatus mainly to improve strength and for drills to apply to tumbling.
Tumbling classes will be held as clinics through the summer so participants can
sign up for the skill clinics which they are most interested in.
Home school classes ($52/mo.) are held during normal school hours and
are for kids age 6 and up who are in at least 1st grade.
Adult strength & toning work-outs ($30/mo.) are held 2x/wk and
members may attend as often as they like. No m/u option.

Tumble clinics are open to age 7+ having

those with experience.
Walk-overs Wed, 6/15
Both front & back walk-overs will be covered.
Basic Back Handspring Wed, 6/22, 7/20, Thur, 7/14
Back Handspring clinics will be hour long classes focused on
learning the mechanics of the back handspring preparing to
eventually do back handsprings alone as well as out of round-offs
and into other skills such as back flips. Class time will be spent on
practice drills which can be done safely, even by beginner
tumblers, on their own, as well as being spotted for back
handsprings on various gym surfaces.
Progressive Back Handspring Wed, 7/6, Thur, 6/30, 7/28
This clinic is for those who have been in Back Handspring clinics in
past years &/or have been in Springers, Flippers, or Tumblers
classes over the past year. Some participants may be connecting
their back handsprings with round-offs and with flips. Participants
will leave with a better understanding of proper form in back
handsprings and how to safely practice drills which will lead to
better back handsprings.
Round-off Wed, 7/13, Thur, 6/23
Round-off clinic will focus on the all important round-off. We will go
over efficient technique and try to get round-offs ready for
connecting to a back handspring. This clinic is a must for those
wanting the round-off, back handspring.
Front Handspring Wed 6/29, Thur, 7/21
Front Handspring clinic will focus on front handsprings in various
situations. Participants will learn the mechanics of the front
handspring on the floor, off the tumbl trak, and as a vault off of the
mini-tramp. Time will be spent on drills and on assisted and
unassisted (if ready) front handsprings. If participants are able to
execute front handsprings unassisted, they will be improving
technique and form as well as connecting with and progressing to
other skills.
Back Tuck Thur, 7/7
Back Tuck clinic will work the back flip in the tuck position. (The
most efficient flip which should be learned before progressing to
other body positions for the flip and twisting flips.) Participants will
work on the back flip from the standing position and those who can
back handspring unassisted will work them out of their handspring.
Participants should be able to back handspring with little or no
assistance. This clinic is not recommended for beginner tumblers.
Aerial Wed 7/27
Aerial clinic will emphasize the most efficient technique to execute
a side aerial or “aerial cartwheel”. (No handed cartwheel). Class
time will be spent leaning how to circle the arms in the approach
and the timing for dive cartwheel, which is the progression to an
aerial. Participants who have already mastered the side aerial will
be introduced to the front aerial or aerial walk-over. Participants
should have mastery of a smooth cartwheel beginning and
finishing in the lunge position.
Tumble Clinic Tue, Wed, Thur, 8/2, 8/3, 8/4
Three day tumble clinic held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
will involve all skills from the other clinics and may also include
dive rolls, front flips and branis. At least half of each class will focus

ready may also be connecting more tumbling skills and learning to
twist. All tumble clinics will include strength conditioning.
