FUNdamentals Program
Class Length: 1 hour
Boys & Girls
The FUNdamentals Program is the perfect place for your child to gain a head start for an active life! We use the foundation of gymnastics to develop your child’s physical literacy. In other words, we help them “learn how to move”. Our main goal is to help them learn specific athletic abilities that will stick with them for life with transference to any sport! The program is divided into 10 steps where every step represents a milestone for the child’s development. Once the child graduates from Step 10, the physical, social, emotional and cognitive skills that they have mastered will allow them to have more opportunities to excel in sports for the rest of their life. If they choose to pursue competitive gymnastics after Step 10, they will have the ability to progress quickly without hitting a plateau due to our systematic, complete methodology.
