The primary objective of the recreation program is to provide your son or daughter with the fundamentals and correct body positioning for the gymnast to execute skills on all apparatuses used in the sport of gymnastics.
Gymnastics helps develop coordination, balance, flexibility, strength, self-confidence and discipline which helps provide a strong foundation for all sports.
Through repetition, the gymnast will progress at their own ability while training to execute and implement the skills correctly with our Safety Certified instructors.
