Girls Recreational Gymnastics

Sharks (5-6 yrs, Girls Only)

"I have graduated from preschool, and I am almost ready to swim with the big fish. I know how to listen and follow the leader, so I am ready to learn some big kid gymnastics. Although I will start learning some of the level 1 skills, I still want to play from time to time."

This is the first class where students will start to work on skills specific to each of the five events as well as begin to learn beginner recreational gymnastics, similar to Level 1. 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!
