Our Program:
Discover, Explore, Learn
The Discover, Explore and Learn program provides students with a basic introduction to gymnastics and is ideal for groups who have had little prior experience in gymnastics. Students will gain a preliminary understanding of gymnastics by focusing on several core concepts:
- Participating in multiple gymnastics disciplines, such as artistic, tumbling and rhythmic, will help students discover their physical niche
- Fundamental movement skills provide a base for the more complex skills used in gymnastics and involve landings, locomotions, statics, swings, springs and rotations
- Learning basic gymnastics terminology creates enthusiasm for the sport and gives students an advantage if they choose to continue with gymnastics
- Understanding how to safely use the gymnastics equipment promotes responsibility and accountability among students
