Star-tastics Gymnastics Classes for Boys & Girls
Why Take Gymnastics?
Gymnastics...a beautiful and powerful sport. Some experts say that the greatest benefits of gymnastics training for children are physical: the amazing power, the unparalleled balance, and injury-preventing agility and grace. Other expert’s say that the greatest detail is concentration. Which is right? Our experts know the answer is, without a doubt, both. In fact, professional gymnastics training is a requisite for all kids who want to learn how to become the best they can be in life.
Star-tastics Gymnastics Curriculum
Our star-tastics gymnastics curriculum is based on the USAG Jr. Olympic Program as well as years of experience teaching gymnastics to children. The Star-tastics curriculum is designed to provide a non-competitive, flexible program of life skills, conditioning and flexibility.
Evaluation & Documentation
Each Star-tastics student will get a chance to be the featured Gymnast of the Month, and will have their picture posted. They will also receive a progress report at the end of each session containing teacher comments. Specific attention is paid to a few life skills we feel are important for positive growth; they are listening, focus & concentration, respect for others and leadership/helping others.
Our Teachers
Our teachers are first aid and CPR Certified and specially selected and trained to safely bring out the best in each child by encouraging each child to exceed their perceived limitations. Without question, it is special teachers who have made Gymnastics Galaxy the amazing program that it is.
Star-tastics Extravaganza Celebration
The extravaganza is an exciting event for the entire family: mom, dad, brother, sister, gramma and gramps are all invited to watch your star gymnast participate in a real gymnastics meet designed expressly for fun and personal achievement.
At the extravaganza, every child is a winner because there are no placements, everyone will receive an award. A pleasure to watch and fun to participate in, parents and kids alike, love Extravaganza Celebration. The celebration takes place in late May. There is a small fee to participate in the celebration, but viewing is free.
What To Wear To Class
Girls should wear a leotard. Boys should wear a T-shirt & gym shorts. Warm-up suits or sweats are fine for cooler weather. Footwear should be bare feet.
Which Class?
We use age as the variable for determining your child’s class time. Considering each child’s experience and skill level we subdivide each class into logical, homogeneous training groups. After trying many different methods of “placement”, we have found this approach offers both an excellent training situation for the kids, plus, carpooling convenience for you! Also, it allows us to be more flexible regarding personal scheduling problems. Please let us know if we can help in that regard.
How Many Classes Per Week?
We have a little different view than most clubs on this subject. For younger or beginning gymnasts we recommend one class per week. The decision to come two or more times per week is very personal and we recommend considering more than once per week only after your child has shown an obvious desire for faster progress. Your child's coach will be glad to discuss the merits of such a decision should that time come.
Make-Ups:
Although it is always best to attend your regularly scheduled class, we do allow two make-ups per session. Please call the office to schedule a make-up, as we do limit the number of make-ups in any class.
