Gymnastics Program 2011-2012
Welcome to Five-Star's Gymnastics program, designed to provide quality instruction for beginners through to advanced competitors. Each class
is developmentally appropriate and follows a curriculum aimed at building confidence and competence in a supportive and professional environment.
Classes are grouped according to ability and we monitor our student-staff ratio of 8:1.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS
Baby-Tots
Baby-Tots (10-20 Months) “This program is geared towards the exploration of movement and the development of social skills. First-time walkers are introduced to stimulating experiences through the art of play, while Mom or Dad enjoy the advantages of watching their child learn gross motor gymnastics skills and coordination. Parents will also enjoy the benefit of social interactions with other moms and dads.”
Tot-Nastics
Tot-Nastics (18-24 Months) “In this program, toddlers learn fine and gross motor skills which help to develop coordination, balance, strength and agility using basic beginner gymnastics. Children also develop social, listening and comprehension skills while learning how to tumble, hang, and jump. Parents will also enjoy the benefit of social interactions with other moms and dads.”
Super-Tots
Super-Tots (24-36 Months) “In this program, listening and comprehension skills improve as children are exposed to basic gymnastics instruction. Parental involvement is gradually decreased through activities that help build the children’s confidence. This program also helps with the sometimes difficult task of separating from Mommy and Daddy. Parents will also enjoy the benefit of social interactions with other moms and dads.”
Stars & Tykes
Stars & Tykes (3-4 Yrs) “Students receive encouraging positive reinforcement to help them develop basic gymnastics expertise needed to develop future gymnastics skills on all apparatus. This class is also designed to build self-esteem and further develop the beginnings of your child’s independence. Running, jumping and gymnastics skills are taught using safe, state-of-the-art gymnastics equipment.”
Transition
Transition (5-6 Yrs) “At this stage, learning is intensified through more challenging activities and skills designed to further develop handeye coordination, gross motor proficiency and the spirit of group cooperation. Classes are no longer co-ed. Boys are taught on the high bar, pommel horse, parallel bars, the vault, the rings, the floor exercise, the tumble track and the trampoline. Girls are taught to do uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise, the vault, the tumble track and the trampoline. All instructors use skill progressions to develop and monitor student progress.”
Recreation
Recreation (7-17 Yrs) “Building on the skills acquired in Transition, students are taught intermediate to advanced skills on all the apparatus. Students at this stage should know all basic positions and will follow a course of instruction designed to provide a thorough grounding in all skills, including round-offs, front and back walkovers, front and back handsprings, with sequences and progressions tailored to the student’s skill level.”
Accelerated
Accelerated (7-17 Yrs) “Children are taught advanced through team level skills and must be able to perform a back handspring on their own before enrolling in this class. NOTE: STUDENTS MUST BE TESTED BEFORE ENTERING THIS LEVEL TO ENSURE ALL NECESSARY SKILLS ARE IN PLACE. Instructors closely monitor student progress and depending on student’s ability and interest, may be considered for Team Placement.”
