Welcome to the FLIPSIDE of Preschool Gymnastics! Kudos to you for choosing such a wonderful activity for your preschooler. Gymnastics offers so many benefits in a child’s development, physically and socially. Acrosports Gymnastics takes great pride in developing a safe, fun, and progressive program made specifically for this age group. Your child will begin to explore the world of gymnastics forwards, backwards, and sideways in an educational, yet fun filled class. Lessons are planned accordingly so that we can help build, strong, confident, and healthy children through the fun of gymnastics. Preschoolers are on the move and ready to go and so are our coaches! Therefore, our rotations are designed so that each child has something to do at all times and there is little to no “wait time”. Each class begins with a 5 minute warm up and stretch to get everyone ready for the fun activities that await them. We participate in 4 to 5 rotations per class, each with 4 – 6 stations. In each of our stations, we focus on strength, hand eye coordination, problem solving, flexibility, socialization, and of course, GYMNASTICS skills! Forward and backward rolls, cartwheels, pullovers, handstands, and swings are just a few of the many elements your child will be working. We end our day with a group activity and the all important good job stamp! Below is a description of each of our preschool classes that will leave your child wanting to leap tall buildings in a single bound!
Diaper Daredevils (1 - 21/2 years): We introduce the world of fitness to our youngest gymnasts in this tots program. This parent participation class focuses on skills and activities that allow each child to work on physical and social development. Our Diaper Daredevils have a lesson plan that is specific to the toddler age as well as attention spans. Children must be walking to attend this class.
Buzy Bouncers (2 - 3 years): Congratulations! Your child is well on their way to becoming a strong, confident preschooler! This is considered a transition class. Children will participate in a more structured rotation schedule with the assistance of the parent. Buzy Bouncer lessons plans will consist of modified preschool skills that cater to the age and ability of this age group. They are introduced to new events and skills that are more challenging.
Mighty Munchkins (3 years): Way to go! Your child is becoming more independent, as this class is parent free! Many exciting activities await your child as he/she becomes a stronger, more confident preschooler. Lesson plans become a bit more challenging, but they will learn that with perseverance, accomplishment soon follows. Look to see some great progressions in your child’s large motor and socialization skills.
Terrific Tumblers (4 years): There’s no stopping these guys. At this point, your child can retain a great amount of instruction, skill knowledge and proper terminology. Gross motor skills are well developed and allow for higher, yet age appropriate skill levels. With greater body awareness and the ability to solve problems, technique begins to play in important role in lessons.
