Girls Gymnastics (5 yrs – 14 yrs)
Here at Gymnastics Elite, we supply our children every opportunity needed to help them progress in which ever program they decided to be a part of. Our students’ dreams are never out of reach, we encourage them to reach for the stars, stop only when you’ve left your mark on every single one! Classes for Girls Gymnastics are a basic reflection of the four core Women’s Artistic Olympic events; Floor exercise, Vault table, Balance beam, and Uneven bars. They are divided by level according to USA Gymnastics’ Junior Olympic program. Each class is structured through daily evaluations appropriate to the level of skill needed. Our student’s progress is marked based upon the time they are in the gym to ensure that they are on the right path to success. Students are exposed to the basics, trained to build a sturdy foundation of skill knowledge, and advance through the levels as they complete each set of skills the class requires.
