Winter 2025 Gymnastics Lessons
Preschool Classes (Ages 3&4 by Start of Session) Children learn the basics of how to tumble, balance on a beam, and swing on the low bar. Parent participation is not required, and preschool gymnasts should be able to participate independently of their parents. Parents will be allowed to watch the class from the hallway. Recreation Lessons Children must be 5 by the start of the session (except 2 class times which allow independent 4-year-olds). Classes follow progression guidelines developed by USA Gymnastics. Emphasis is on individual skill development in tumbling, floor, balance beam, vault, and bars. Class stations are designed to allow for a successful progression of skills regardless of ability level. Parents will be allowed to watch the first and final class. Beginner Everyone enters at the beginner level. The basics of gymnastics are taught at this stage. Gymnasts who are new to the program but have some gymnastics experience may call to be tested. Advanced Beginner Gymnasts enter after they master a forward roll to sit, backward roll down an incline, cartwheel over a block, donkey kick, and round-a-bout cartwheel. Intermediate (USAG Pre-Level 1) Gymnasts enter after they have mastered a forward roll to stand, backward roll to their feet, straight arm bridge, cartwheel, and 3/4 handstand. Pre-Team (USAG Level 1) Gymnasts enter after they have mastered a vertical handstand, round-off, standing backbend, arch-up kick-over down incline, walk-up pullover mount on bars, and one pull-up with their chin passing above the bar. Introductory Competitive Team To be eligible for the Xcel Bronze Team, gymnasts must be able to do a cartwheel, round-off, vertical handstand, backward roll to push-up, one pull-up, and walk-up pullover mount on bars. To be eligible for the Level 2 Team, gymnasts must be able to do a backward roll to push-up, backbend kickover, pullover mount on bars, back hip circle on bars, three pull-ups with their chin passing above the bar, and one split. In addition to physical skills, gymnasts must demonstrate a positive, hardworking, and respectful attitude to be considered for competitive team.
