About Our Pre Gymnastics Program
All our classes are for boys & girls, unless otherwise specified. Our philosophy is to develop thinking children, where we promote movement patterns of gymnastics and correct terminology. We also incorporate strengthening activities with our fun obstacle courses. Children progress at their own pace. Our small scale gymnastics equipment allows for quicker progression in a safe and encouraging atmosphere. We keep our Pre Gymnastics classes small, 4-8 students per class, in order to give your child the personal attention they deserve. Students are encouraged to advance through our Pre Gymnastics program to Pre Team Mini’s. After Pre Team Mini’s, students are invited to join our Xcel Bronze Mini’s Gymnastics Team if they choose.
