Summer Gymnastics Program

Yay! Summer gymnastics is finally here! Interested in trying out gymnastics or working on your tumbling this summer? You are in the right place!

Champions for Life offers programming that promotes total body awareness, core strength, balance, coordination, maintains flexibility, and promotes confidence, courage and interest in physical activity while having fun! Gymnastics is a building block that will serve all athletics well.

Classes are offered for gymnasts of all ages and experiences. Through safe and logical progressions of skills on all the Olympic events, gymnasts learn the basics of gymnastics. The objectives at the beginner level are to build a solid foundation to facilitate their gymnastic careers if they desire to continue. The sport of gymnastics has a unique overall development aspect that will nurture your child’s growth in any other sporting activity that he or she decides to pursue. 

Has your child been in gymnastics before? Not sure what level she should be in? Note the ages associated with each level. Generally, that will work, but if you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

TODDLER TIME
Ages 18 months to 3 years
Boys and girls, along with their favorite grown-up
Classes are 30 minutes

Together with Tots is our beginner class for toddlers and their grown-ups. Children are introduced to each apparatus and event, including beam, pre-school bars, the trampoline, and floor exercises, in a fun, safe setting. The instructor will set up stations, just like they do for the big kids, and each toddler and his/her grown up will do the stations together, learning body positions, jumping with two feet, hanging on to bars, balancing, and how to be part of a class. We find having our favorite grown-up in class with our toddlers allows the instructor to teach the whole class, and lets the grown-up chase down the toddler when they make the inevitable toddler run-for-it!


Monday: 10:00 am to 10:45 am
4:00 pm to 4:45 pm
Wednesday: 9:30 am to 10:15 am

ROLLERS AND TWISTERS
Ages 3 to 4 years
Boys and girls

At this level, grown-ups stay in the lobby, and our students get to come into the gym on their own! Students continue to learn each of the apparatus, including the beams, pre-school equipment, floor, trampoline, and sometimes the big beams (with lots of help). Instructors set up stations, and students will rotate to each station throughout the class. Instructors will give instruction/correction at each station as the students rotate, continuing to build on the skills the kids have learned in Toddler Time, or as they are learning them for the first time, including correct gymnastics body positions, hanging on the bar, skipping and galloping, jumping with two feet, and very basic tumbling.

SUPER TOTS

Super Tots is for students who have had some experience in the gym and who are ready to begin learning Level 1 skills, but who are not yet old enough to join the Level 1 classes. In Super Tots, grown-ups are expected to stay in the lobby (or in their car or wherever they choose) while students enter the gym on their own. Instructors will set up stations and explain them to the students, who will rotate through each station for practice and correction. Students will use all apparatus in the gym, including the red floor beams and the big beams, both sets of bars, the floor, and the trampoline. Students will learn advanced body positioning, including tuck, straddle, pike, etc., as well as basic tumbling, balancing on the beams, and swinging, holding, and lifting their body weight on the bars.

LEVEL 1
Ages 6-11
Boys and Girls
Classes are 60 minutes




Level 1 students in these classes begin doing more specific work on their own competition apparatus. In Level 1, all students are expected to enter the gym on their own, while grown-ups either stay in the lobby or leave the building. All gymnastics apparatus is used. Girls will use the short and tall beams, the floor, the trampolines (including the Tumble Track), the big bars, and will begin working on pre-vault skills. Boys will use the floor, the high bar, the rings, and the pommel horse, or skills leading to the safe use of this equipment. In Level 1, the instructors will set up stations, and describe stations to students. Students will rotate through their stations for practice and correction. Students will learn body positioning fundamentals, forward and backward rolls, cartwheels, balance, supporting body weight on bars, and other skills.


TUMBLING AND TRAMPOLINE Thursday: 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm
Ages 6-11
Boys and Girls $180 for the summer session
Classes are 60 minutes

In Tumbling and Trampoline students will enter the gym on their own while their grown-up stays in the lobby or runs errands. Instruction time in this class is split between the trampoline and the floor. Typically for kids not interested in competing in gymnastics as they get older but still interested in learning how to do the fun tumbling skills learned in higher level classes, these students will learn how to properly do forward and backward rolls, cartwheels, handstands, bridges, back handsprings, and back tucks. This class is excellent for potential divers, for cheerleaders looking to learn more tumbling skills, or for any child interested in learning tumbling safely and correctly.


Illness policies

We take the health of our staff and your children very seriously. Here’s what you can expect:

  • If you or your child is sick, please stay home.

  • Please do not bring siblings (except for infants/children held on laps) or other guests to class or into the building if at all possible. We try to limit lobby congestion if we can.

  • Children should be ready to practice at their start time - practice clothing, hair up, shoes and socks off, etc. The locker rooms are open if you have to change, but coming ready to practice gets everyone out on the gym floor faster!

  • We hand sanitize when children enter the gym. If you prefer your child is not, just let us know.

  • Children should bring their own water bottle to class. Please do not share water bottles with your classmates.
