Boys love these classes! Gymnastics is great for developing strength and flexibility. Our recreational boys classes not only help to set a strong foundation for other sport endeavors, but also enhance the performance in other sports. It is a great conditioning program during the off season! The equipment used in this program includes the horizontal bar, the pommel horse, the vault, and the rings. Through this program, boys will gain manual dexterity and precision. They will develop core strength, rhythm and timing. Boys will love the speed, agility and power they will feel after completing this program of strength and control.

Boys Level 1
This is a beginner class for boys. Our focus is to create a fun atmosphere while teaching them the basic safety procedures and fundamental skills of the sport.  Basic body positions are a large focus of class sessions as well as basic skills such as cartwheels, forward rolls, and front supports. The main events we focus on in level 1 include: vault, bars, and floor. Students will also use the trampoline and will begin getting exposure to the parallel bars, pommel horse, and rings.

Boys Level 2
In level 2 the focus is on mastering the fundamental skills and body positions of the sport. It is our mission to make the gym a fun place for growth and development. A small portion of every class is dedicated to building strength and working on flexibility.

Skills that are focused on include casting, pull-overs, cartwheels, and backward rolls.
