Class Descriptions
The Gymkana Saturday Gymnastics Program offers five different classes for boys and girls and now adults of all different skill levels and age groups.
Gymkana GymTots
Boys & Girls Gymnastics (ages 5,6 & 7*) - Beginner - Advanced
(9:00 - 10:00AM): The Gymkana GymTots Program is for children ages 5, 6 and 7*. These students will be taught basic motor skills as well as elementary gymnastics according to their individual skill level. Instruction areas include basic tumbling, trampoline, and gymnastic apparatuses.
*Students age 7 who have prior gymnastic experience may enroll in the older children's classes with special permission.
Gymkana Tumblers
Boys & Girls Tumbling (Ages 8-16) - Beginner - Advanced
(9:00 - 10:00AM): The increasing popularity of cheerleading, dance and gymnastics has led us to create a class focusing on elementary through advanced tumbling skills. The focus of this class will be teaching proper technique and improving all levels of tumbling, from basic to advanced, including handsprings, flipping and twisting motions.
Gymkana Adults - New Earlier Time!!!
Men & Women (Ages 17+) - Beginner - Advanced
(9:00 - 10:00AM): Gymnastics will improve performance in any other sport, as well as improving overall fitness and functional strength to a level that most people never attain. Stretching and flexibility are areas that are sadly lacking from most fitness programs. The 2 to 3 minutes spent stretching before a fitness class is simply not enough.. The focus of this class will be flexibility training, strength training, tumbling and balance. You will be exposed to gymnastic apparatus as well as trampoline surfaces in conjuction with floor training.
