This is a multi-level program where children are divided into groups according to age, gender and ability. Great care is taken to teach gymnastics skills in a thorough and progressive manner to insure safe and continual progress. Through the acquisition of gymnastics skills, it is our goal to help develop a positive self-image and self-confidence in every student we teach.
