Busy Bodies for children 18 months to 3 1/2 years old
One parent per child is required to attend classes. We ask that no more than one adult per child
participate. Too many parents makes our floor over crowded and we have other classes to consider.
These classes focus on teaching toddlers how to follow basic instructions, listening, and taking turns
in group play. The children will, with assistance, be introduced to basic tumbling skills
and loco-motor skills, as well as the gymnastics apparatus including the balance beam,
bars, floor, and trampoline. We enjoy keeping our busy bodies wiggling and giggling as
they are introduced to gymnastics at Young’s!

Students in these classes will develop gymnastics skills utilizing all the gymnastics apparatus
including the uneven bars, balance beam, floor, vault, and trampoline. Our curriculum at Young’s focuses on
building upon basic skills to perfect and learn new, more challenging skills. As students remain with us year
after year, there is consistently a review of previously learned skills while new skills are being taught.
Our goal is for all of our students to know the feeling of success by being able to correctly demonstrate learned gymnastics skills and to show marked improvement in strength, flexibility, and locomotor skills. As Young’s is a recreational gymnastics facility, all students can enjoy classes without the undue pressure of the competitive level. Students can experience learning gymnastics in a safe environment, which promotes teamwork and respect among its students and staff. Come join the gymnastics fun at Young’s!
At Young’s we know the demand for tumbling skills has become more essential in cheerleading, and is
always essential in gymnastics! Students can perfect their tumbling abilities under the instruction of our
qualified staff in one of the 4 levels of tumbling classes that we offer. Evaluations are REQUIRED to
determine a student’s placement into one of the 4 tumbling levels and a student must master the skills in her level before moving up to the next level. (i.e. In order to be in LEVEL 2, a student must be able to do
ALL of the skills in LEVEL 1.)
Each level along with its respective skills are as follows:
