Parent and Me Tadpole

The parent or caretaker comes into the gym and with the help of instructors you will assist the child through obstacle courses which incorporate all of the major events in gymnastics. We use lots of mats to introduce the basic skills to your toddler while teaching them to follow direction and wait their turn. We come together at the end of class for circle time which includes a goodbye song with the parachute and bubbles, stamps and a coloring picture of something they’ve learned.

Children participate in this class independantly, parents may watch from the lobby. Children learn all of the basics of gymnastics in an obstacle course format. Skills include forward rolls, backward rolls, cartwheels, handstands by walking their feet up the mat on wall, jumps, body positions, balance beam walks, basic vaulting, bars, trampolines, and much more! You will see your child develop upper body strength, as well as flexibility, balancing and coordination.
Flip-Flop Gymkids is now expanding it's classes to cater to the older gymnast. There are a few classes currently available. Stay tuned for more class offerings. The children are ages 4 -6 years old for the 1 hour, 7 -12 for 1 -1/2 hours. Our program is based on USA Gymnastics' curriculum and focuses on skill levels 1 -4. Children advance at different rates and we work to each child's own ability. Kids will get to use 2 events per class and change each week. (Floor, Bars, Low Beam Vault and Tumble Trak) Stations are set up around the event they are on and each child is assigned a station so that they are all working on something at all times. They rotate around stations learning skills progressively. |
