PARENT AND TOT CLASSES
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!
GIRLS AND BOYS GYMNASTICS CLASSES
The following classes are offered AT ALL LEVELS according to the child’s age:
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 mission 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 competitive gymnastics. 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!
TUMBLING CLASSES
At Young’s, we know the demand for tumbling skills has become more essential with the explosive growth of All-Star cheerleading, and is
always essential in gymnastics! Students can learn and perfect their tumbling skills under the instruction of our
qualified staff in one of the 5 levels of tumbling classes that we offer. Evaluations are REQUIRED to
determine a student’s placement into one of the 5 tumbling levels (NO Evaluation required for Level 1 or Level 2).
We realize that the majority of tumbling students are mainly interested in learning tumbling skills essential for the sport of cheerleading today: Backhandspring, Round Off Backhandspring, Round Off Backhandspring Back Tuck, etc. For that reason, the focus of our tumbling classes is geared with that goal in mind. Although there are many skills listed below for each level, skills and progressions will be taught with the intention of mastering the power tumbling skills required for today's tumblers. You do NOT have to master each of the skills listed in order to move up to the next level. All skills in GREEN for each level must be mastered to progress to the next level.
Each level along with its respective skills are as follows:
