“Go for the Gold!” Gymnastics Program
For children ages 5 and older.
The Riegel Ridge Gymnastics Program is designed to focus on each child’s individual ability level. All levels are geared for boys and girls and include skills on floor, vault, bars, and balance beam. Basic dance and jump skills for cheerleaders will also be covered in each level. There is an observation class on the last day of the session for parents to see how their child had progressed in this program.
LEVEL 1 (BLUE) 3:00-4:00PM or 4:00–5:00 PM
Children in this level have no previous gymnastics training OR are unable to perform weight bearing gymnastics. At this level they will learn basic floor gymnastics including forward rolls, backward rolls, bridges & cartwheels, all using correct form & will begin working on splits. Vault, bars, balance beam, and dance are introduced. This class will prepare them for Level 2 BRONZE.
LEVEL 2 (BRONZE) 5:00-6:00PM
A step up from Level 1 where more focus will be placed on form, strength, and flexibility. At the completion of this level, each child will have mastered round offs, bridge walks & handstands, besides completing all level 1 basic floor gymnastics in perfect form. Before moving to next level, the child must be able to support their own body weight and perform a back walkover on their own. This class will prepare them for Level 3 SILVER.
LEVEL 3 (SILVER) 6:00 – 7:30PM
Before entering this level, a child must have mastered the basic floor, vault, beam, and bar skills. The child must have adequate strength and flexibility to perform bridges and handstands in order to continue learning new skills on all events and continue their progress toward Level 4.
LEVEL 4 (GOLD) 7:30 – 9:00PM
At this level focus will be placed on performing full splits, front & back-walkovers and front & back handsprings in proper form. Gymnasts will be challenged to perform more advanced skills on all events and learn how to properly execute cheerleading jumps.
Our staff place strict focus on safety and correct form while gradually building the gymnast’s strength and flexibility needed to advance to the next level. Progression will be determined by the coaches at the end of each session.
