A Program Designed for Growth

Our girls gymnastics classes are carefully structured to meet children where they are developmentally. Each class introduces age-appropriate skills, gradually building from basic positions and movements to more complex skills on each apparatus. Students progress through levels at their own pace, ensuring every girl feels supported and motivated. Classes are divided by age and ability to create the best learning environment possible.

What Girls Will Learn
 

In our program, students are introduced to all the Olympic gymnastics events for women: vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. They also enjoy trampoline and tumbling skills, which help build strength and confidence in movement. Specific skills may include:
 

  • Cartwheels, handstands, and bridges

  • Beam walks, turns, and balances

  • Bar swings, pullovers, and strength drills

  • Jumps, rolls, and beginning tumbling passes

  • Body shapes and flexibility exercises.

​

As girls advance, they are encouraged to refine technique, master new skills, and set goals that reflect their growing abilities.

The Gym-Kinetics Approach

We believe in a supportive and fun learning environment. Our experienced coaches focus on positive reinforcement and celebrate every achievement, big or small. The goal is not just to teach gymnastics skills but also to foster perseverance, teamwork, and self-confidence. Each girl is recognized for her individual progress, helping her feel proud and excited about her accomplishments.

BENEFITS BEYOND THE GYM

​

The benefits of girls gymnastics go well beyond physical activity. Parents often notice improvements in their child’s posture, coordination, and strength. More importantly, gymnastics nurtures character development. Girls learn to listen carefully, follow instructions, and support their classmates. They gain resilience by practicing skills repeatedly until they succeed. They also discover the joy of celebrating effort and progress, not just results. These life lessons help girls thrive at school, in sports, and in their personal lives.
 

Building Friendships and Community
 

Gymnastics is both an individual and group activity. While each gymnast sets her own goals, she also learns the value of teamwork and encouragement. In our classes, girls make new friends, cheer each other on, and build lasting connections. The positive atmosphere in our gym creates a strong sense of community where every child feels welcome.

Safety Comes First

At Gym-Kinetics, safety is our top priority. Our facility is equipped with professional-quality mats, equipment, and spotting aids to ensure safe skill development. Coaches are trained to introduce skills step by step, helping each gymnast build confidence before moving on to the next challenge. By emphasizing proper form and technique, we minimize risk and promote lifelong safe movement habits.
 


​

Preparing for Class

​

Girls should wear a leotard or fitted athletic clothing that allows free movement. Hair should be tied back neatly, and jewelry should be left at home. We recommend bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated. Most importantly, bring a positive attitude and a readiness to learn. Every class is an opportunity to grow, try new skills, and have fun.​
