CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Tiny TOTS start as young as 1 years old all the way up to 2.5 years of age. Once your TOT can start walking, they can begin TINY TOTS classes. The main focus of this class is to get your little ones in and comfortable being separated from “Mommy”. Crying is normal, and it might take a few times to get them calm and comfortable in their surroundings. Once they calm down and show interest, we will work on crawling through tunnels, walking on the balance beam, hanging on the bar, and jumping on the trampoline! Once we see they are ready, we will start to work on table tops and forward rolls!

Once they show understanding of certain skills and reach the right maturity level, they will be bumped up to our TOTS 2-3 Classes

This group is our 2-3 yr olds that express an interest in gymnastics. Our goal in this class is to get them in and comfortable with their surroundings and to start teaching them the basics of gymnastics all while having fun and getting that energy out! They will work on “animal” line drills (bunny hops, bear crawls, crab walks, etc.) and then progress on to forward and backward rolls, table tops, donkey kicks. We offer a fun group class with other tots their age. We will run through obstacle courses in addition to lots of games to get their energy out all while still building their flexibility, strength and athletic ability.

Once they show understanding of certain skills and reach the right maturity level, they will be bumped up to our TOTS 3-4 Classes.

This group is our mature 3 yr olds to 4 yr olds that express an interest in gymnastics. Our goal in this class is to get them in and comfortable with their surroundings, master the basic gymnastics skills, as well as teach proper classroom structure and behavior. They will work on “animal” line drills (bunny hops, bear crawls, crab walks, etc.) and then progress on to forward and backward rolls, table tops & donkey kicks. Once those skills are mastered, they will progress on to handstands, backbends and the basics of the “carthweel”. We offer a fun group class with other kids their age. We will run through obstacle courses in addition to lots of games to get their energy out all while still building their flexibility, strength and athletic ability.

Once they are able to demonstrate a proper handstand, backbend (fullt off the gorund), Cartwheel (does not have to be perfect) AND understands & follows classroom expectations/behavior then they will be bumped up to our Beginner Level Classes.

This class is typically where most students start in the 4-6 year old age range. In this class, your child will be learning and mastering the basics of all gymnastics skills: forward and backward rolls, handstands, cartwheels, bridges, round offs. Once those skills are properly demonstrated, we will move on to handstand into bridges as well a Fall back to bridge and kicking over! Once your child masters their Handstand into bridge as well as Fall to bridge and kicking over, they will advance to the next level—> Intermediate 1.

This class is geared to those in the 7-10 year old age range that are completely new to gymnastics. This class' level & skill set is identical to YOUNG BEGINNER Level, except it allows those late starters get comfortable and confident in themselves without having to be in a class with “babies”. Once the basics are mastered, as well as Fall to bridge/kick over and handstand into bridge, your child will be moved up to the next level—>Intermediate 1.

In the INTERMEDIATE 1 Class, students will begin working back and front walkovers; Once the student demonstrates the proper readiness and skills, we will then start to work on Back handsprings! Once your child masters their Back handspring on the FLOOR, they will progress on to INTERMEDIATE 2.

After Intermediate skills have been reached, BCHS 1 class will teach the fundamentals of the back handspring, strengthen the core muscle groups needed for back handsprings, and work back handspring drills. Once we see a level of understanding and strength, we will work the back handspring!

This class is the same version of BCHS 1 class--Just for the more advanced group that are close to doing their back handspring unassisted on the cheese mat and/or air track. We will begin working them on the floor once they are mastered on all apparatus'.

Once the standing back handspring has been mastered with correct form and technique, we will move on to work series back handsprings as well as running Round off backhandsprings (and series). We will then move on to work back tucks, back layouts and on to full twisting layouts. If there is an interest, we will also work front tumbling (front tucks, side/front aerials, front handsprings, etc.).
