Boys Recreational Gymnastics
We take pride in our structured boy’s gymnastics programming!
Our lesson plans are thoughtfully created with appropriate childhood development in mind. We teach not only gymnastics skills in the gym, but also teach our gymnasts life skills along the way. North Crest offers a multilevel program where children progress from level to level at their own pace. Classes are divided into groups according to age and ability. Great care is taken to teach skills in a thorough and progressive manner to alleviate “gaps” that might restrict their gymnastics potential in later years.
BOYS MINI MUSCLES TO MUSCLE MEN 3
It is our mission to motivate, encourage, and fascinate children with fitness through character training that develops life skills in a facility with role models you can trust! The boy’s recreational classes are set up to allow your son to progress properly through the program. The classes are set up based on age to allow each activity to be appropriate for their skill level. If your instructor feels that your child is ready to advance to the next level, please stop at the front desk to transfer them to the correct class.
At North Crest, our recreational gymnastics program is progressive in nature. Although we provide some beginning age recommendations, the class level is based on mastery of a specific skill set. Students learn basic beginner-level skills on traditional boys’ apparatus. Boys will work on basic skills for the floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, trampoline, parallel bars, and high bar, then move into building greater confidence for skill development including but not limited to: pullovers, straight arm rolls, handstand, and cartwheel variations, position swings on parallel bars, still rings, and high bar.
Gymnasts generally remain in each level for up to one year or more before acquiring all of the skills necessary to advance. Students will be consistently evaluated by their instructor for safety, strength, and skill readiness for the next level!
