Boys Recreational Classes
Offered Weekday Afternoons
Our Recreational Boys Program offers a unique opportunity for matriculation into our competitive boys gymnastics program. All students will focus on mastering the gyof specific skill practice, strength, flexibility, and for each of the six men’s gymnastics events: Floor, Pommel Horse, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars, and High Bar.
All students will focus on mastering the basics of gymnastics across each of the four women’s events: Vault, Bars, Beam, and Floor! We use a combination of drills, conditioning, flexibility, and games to help each student progress at their own pace. With coaches evaluating skills each month, we allow students to move up to the next level as soon as they are ready - no need to wait until the following year!
Stingrays
(Ages 4-5, Boys Only)
This is the first class where students will start to work on skills specific to each of the six events as well as begin to learn beginner recreational gymnastics, similar to Boys Level 1. Stingrays is for boys ages 4-5 who have demonstrated they are ready for a challenge beyond what the Sea Turtles class has to offer.
In this class, they will work on the basics of each of the events for boy’s gymnastics: Vault, High Bar, Parallel Bars, Rings, Pommel Horse, and Floor. Students’ focused skill practice may also include games, purposeful play, and other fun activities to get them excited about gymnastics! While we are introducing the foundational skills on each event at this level, students will not yet be tested on the skills. This will help young aspiring gymnasts become comfortable with trying new things!
Level 1
(Ages 6-10y), Boys Only)
This is the first Boys Recreational Gymnastics class offered after their Stingrays class, for students with little to no experience in gymnastics. In this class, they will work on the basics of each of the events for boy’s gymnastics: Vault, High Bar, Parallel Bars, Rings, Pommel Horse, and Floor. They will still get the opportunity to play games and have fun, while also building strength that will ready them for more advanced skills.
Our coaches evaluate each student monthly based on the skill requirements for Boys Level 1 classes across all six events. You can view your child’s progress in your Parent Portal under “Skill Chart.” Each child also has a personal paper skill chart, kept in their coach’s binder, where their skills and achievements are updated regularly.
Level 2
(Ages 6-14y), Boys Only)
This is the intermediate level of Boys Recreational Gymnastics classes that requires passing all skills in the Boys Level 1 Skill chart and coach recommendation for enrollment. This class is for boys who are now ready to learn more advanced skills across each of the six boy’s gymnastics events. In this class, they will build upon the basics learned in Level 1 to advance their tumbling passes and routines across each of the six men’s gymnastics events.
