PRESCHOOL GYMNASTICS

Fun comes to life in our  AcroKids program for younger children.  Games and brightly colored equipment are used to
make learning fun, while the children are developing and refining their gross and fine motor skills.  Incorporated into
the classes are skills development, shape recognition, color recognition, and social development through learning of
sharing concepts.  Skills to be developed include balance, simple tumbling, spatial orientation, dexterity, coordination,
rhythm, catching, throwing, alertness, sequencing, counting, timing, flexibility and many other fun things.

Each class is taught with the understanding that carefully planned movements can make a significant contribution to
learning, that academic work must be integrated with perceptual motor activities, and that all learning is enhanced
with social interaction.  A constant progression of skills is used to ensure optimum learning, self-confidence and a
smooth transition to our Academy classes when your child reaches first grade.


Diaper Daredevils:
(Walking to 2 yrs. old)
In this class parent(s) and child working together with specialized mats, shapes and equipment to introduce both to
the fun world of physical development.  An instructor helps the parent show their child different ways of developing
hand/eye coordination, body movement, spatial orientation and other important abilities.  Socialization between
children their own age, as well as the parents of the children, is a wonderful extra bonus to the Diaper Daredevil
classes.  Parent and child together enjoy their warm-up and ending activity to music.

 

Buzy Bouncers:
(Ages 2 to 3)

This is a parent-child class designed for kids who are ready for a more structured class & serves as a transition class

between Diaper Daredevils & Mighty Munchkins.  Class begins with a musical warm up & ends with a group movement

activity such as parachute, hula hoops, ribbons, etc.  Students will work on beginning level gymnastics skills, as well as

coordination, balance, flexibility, & gross motor skills.

Mighty Munchkins:
(Ages 3 to 4)
These classes are the child’s first experience in gymnastics working in a group situation away from their parent.
AcroSports keeps the class size small (only 6 children per instructor) to insure the child a positive and creative
learning environment and to maximize proper development.  Munchkins learn at a variety of fun and exciting stations
for each event, plus a musical warm-up and a rhythmic musical ending activity for a well rounded gymnastics
experience.

Terrific Tumblers:
(Ages 4 to 6)
An entry-level gymnastics class designed to introduce the child to many basic skills one level above the Mighty
Munchkins.  Class structure is similar to the Munchkins, thus developing a strong, positive interest in physical
movement and fitness.   AcroSports always keeps in mind the child’s safety and individuality above everything else.  As
with other AcroKids classes, warm-up and ending activity are done to music.

Gym Dandies:
(Ages 5 to 6)
One step above Terrific Tumblers and designed for the abilities of the older pre-school aged child.  Gym Dandies
learn skills comparable to a beginning level academy class.  Gym Dandies learn and train on all Olympic events, as
well as many other specialized pieces of equipment to enhance their learning and progression.
