At
Springers Gymnastics Center, we want to offer programs
to both girls as well as boys. There is a true
difference in Men’s and Women’s Gymnastics, so Springers
is determined to offer programs for both. For girls, we
offer instruction on all the women’s apparatus, which
include Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam, and Floor
Exercise. For boys, the apparatus is Floor Exercise,
Pommel Horse, Still Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars, and
Horizontal Bar. We have chosen
Spieth Anderson to be
our equipment supplier. Along with the brand new
Olympic equipment, we have many pieces of training
equipment. Some of these are a 30-foot
Tumble Tramp, and
in-ground Trampoline, a loose-foam pit, a resi-pit, and
a single-bar trainer. At Springers, we believe in
professional instruction, as well as professional
equipment. Please feel free to visit our manufacturer
for more specifics on our equipment.
For
all the Levels listed below, there will be a class
offered for both boys and girls:
Level 1:
This is for the first-time gymnast.
Level 1 introduces the student to basic
gymnastics terminology, as well as the
apparatus. Students will become
proficient in proper stretching and
proper body positions. This class will
introduce a multitude of basic
gymnastics skills, and prepare these
gymnasts for Level 2.
Level 2:
If your child has completed Level 1,
then placement in Level 2 is
appropriate. Level 2 will continue to
progress on all of the apparatus, as
well as learning new skills. The
fundamentals are still stressed, with a
progressive emphasis on improving them.
Level 3:
This class is for those students who
have successfully completed Level 2. As
Level 3, the gymnasts will refine their
basic skill set, and use them to learn
some of the most difficult gymnastics
skills, along with combinations of
skills, and short routines.
Tumbling for Cheerleaders:
(Two groups – elementary school & high
school):
Bring the entire squad, and enhance your
skills for next season! This class
is for the aspiring cheerleader who
wants to improve their tumbling skills.
We
are offering a Toddler Open Gym. This class is
non-structured but supervised by our staff. You
can use this 45 minute class to enhance your
child’s gross motor skills in our 6,500 square
foot facility. Our gym will be set up with many
shape mats, obstacles and plenty of engaging
activities for you and your child.
In
the Pre-School Program, first-time gymnasts learn
basic body positions, jumps, and rote motor skills.
This 45 minute structured class teaches not only
basic coordination, but necessary social skills for
your pre-schooler.
