Gymnastics  classes  info & schedule

2012 - 2013 season ran through 5/25.
Medals have been awarded to those who completed the season!
Now enrolling for 2013 Summer season
Class descriptions:  (We have named our classes to better
reflect what you are looking for in your gymnastics class experience.)
Hoppers ($40/mo.)Hoppers are just 33 months to 5 yrs old and
POTTY TRAINED.  Being part of a class might be 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.  Those who already have
experience in this area will benefit from the opportunity of being a
leader.  They may or may not be jumping two feet at once and/or
hopping on one foot.  Some can skip alternating feet.  Cartwheels are
placement of two hands on a cartwheel mat and stepping or kicking
their feet to other side.  Some cartwheels are starting to have a favorite
side.
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.

Round-off Tues: 6/18, Wed: 8/7, Thur: 7/11

off, back handspring.

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.

Basic Back Handspring Tues: 7/16, Wed: 6/19, Thur: 6/27, 8/8
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.

of classes with us may enroll in this clinic.

Progressive Back Handspring Tues: 7/23, Wed: 6/26, Thur: 6/20, 8/15
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.

Back Tuck Tues: 8/6, Wed: 7/17
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 Tues: 7/9, Wed: 8/14, Thur: 7/25
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.

Walkovers Tues: 8/13, Wed: 7/10

and those already landing front flips will work on connecting skills both
before and after a front flip.

Tumble Clinic  Tue, Wed, Thur: 7/30, 7/31, 8/1
