Flips-n-Flops Gymnastics - Home Page

This is the first exposure for the young gymnast. The parent is also guided in the direction and involvement to help the child adjust and learn in a friendly, constructive environment.The instructor is there to lead, make suggestions and provide the means for the parent to interact and support the child in learning basic skills.

This is the time when the child becomes able to follow direction and can separate from mom and dad. Little gymnasts will actually begin to learn terminology and taking turns as well as the basic techniques of skills. Group and individual skill and accomplishments will be stressed so that your child can move safely and confidently on in their gymnastics career.

Mighty Flipper is where skills actually "look" like the skills. It is a great time as the gymnast  begins to recognize "form" along with basic technical action and the control that is required. You, as a parent, will observe the improvements as your child participates in group/individual skill development, stations, circuiting, strength and flexibility, but mostly the "fun" of gymnastics.

Single Flipper is the first level of our general recreation program. For students 6 years and over. Skill acquisition and development is the main goal of this level as your child will be introduced to many new concepts on regulation apparatus. Your child will be able to focus and learn, refining technique and control.

Double Flipper is the second level of our recreation program. Refinement and proficency in higher level skills under guidelines set forth by the USA Gymnastics pogram will be implemented. Actual routines and sequencing will be intoduced. 

In our beginning level classes boys will begin to work on strength, flexibility, spacial awareness through time and space, and mastering the general building blocks of the sport (e.g. handstands, cartwheels, pull-ups, etc.). At this level of instruction is is most important that our boys become familiar with the men's events, common body shapes & positionaing, and developing their gymnastics vocabulary.

Our intermediate level classes will build upon the skills taught in the begining levels, and begin instruction of more advanced skills on each of the men's events. Gymnasts will also continue to work on their strengthand flexibility. At this level of instruction an emphasisw will be placed on self-control, discipline, and most importantly routine construction and memorization.
