Gymnastics:

At the gym, kids have the opportunity to run, jump, climb, and tumble in a safe & healthy environment under the guidance of qualified instructors. While kids can’t play most organized sports until they’re in kindergarten, they can start young in gymnastics shortly after they learn to walk.

Gymnastics offers a natural progression of physical skill development, from basic coordination and balance to superior strength and flexibility. These skills form the foundation to excel in other sports and activities as well. The benefits of gymnastics training extend beyond physical to personal development. In the gym, children gain confidence, self-esteem, and focus – benefits that carry over to the classroom and personal relationships. According to Dr. Robyn Silverman, PhD., “Research suggests that there is a strong correlation between physically fit children and academic achievement. This means that every time you send your child to gymnastics class, they’re getting an opportunity to engage in physical exercise that encourages healthy brain function. Nerve cells multiply and connections in the brain are strengthened. It is not surprising that children who are engaging in consistent physical activity like gymnastics are more likely to get better grades than their inactive peers.”

Gymnastics is more than a sport—it’s a foundation for lifelong success.
