Here is an explanation of each of the classes we offer
here at TGA. These classes do build on one another.
Safety and FUN are paramount in each class!
Parent and Me
These classes offer a unique bonding opportunity for the child and
parent. While the goal of this class is to introduce the child to
movement and our equipment, the name of the game is FUN.
Parents are included and strongly encouraged to participate with
their child. For many children, this will be their first experience with
an organized fitness activity, and it is critical that it is positive. You
can expect your child to improve motor skills, flexibility, strength,
and coordination. The class also promotes body awareness and
kinesthetic sense.
Beginner: 3-6 year old
These classes are designed to promote the fitness-related
components and fine and gross motor skills. The beginner 3-6
year old classes are fairly structured. The coaches lead the
students through a warm-up for the first 15 minutes. After they
complete the warm-up, typically they go to three different stations
(events) for 15 minutes a piece. They learn basic gymnastics skills,
but much of the class is designed to improve coordination, balance,
flexibility, strength, body awareness, etc. This class builds a strong
foundation for these students to move into more skill-based classes
or to participate in any other activity. More challenging gymnastics
equipment will be utilized, and the student will learn more
gymnastics terminology.
Level 1 and Level 2
These classes are the first skills-based classes offered to our
students. This class is open to girls only. The students will learn
basic skills on all of the competitive gymnastics events as well as
trampoline. This class will improve most aspects of fitness as well.
We follow USA Gymnastics Guidelines for all of our skill-based
classes (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3).
Level 2 and Level 3
These classes are for girls only. In order for a child receive an
invitation to this class, all Level 1 skills must be mastered. The
student should have a strong foundation and work ethic. This class
will continue to follow USA Gymnastics Guidelines for Level 2 and
Level 3. As in each of our classes, all above mentioned
fitness-related components will improve.
