This program is especially designed for preschool and kindergarten youngsters.
Each child will have the opportunity to integrate a variety of physical and mental activities in a safe and positive learning environment. These children work on gross motor and basic gymnastics skills. Fundamental classes are 45 minutes, with the exception of Gym Dandies Extended classes for some kindergartners.
There are many things that we try to do to help gymnastics stay fun and exciting for your child.
Hopefully, you will notice that we spend quite a bit of time creating games and warm-up routines that help to develop the mental and physical being.
We are striving to assist those muscles in developing strength, flexibility, and "memory" so that the individual student will be able to ease into the sport of gymnastics
Or whatever sport appeals to them because this will give them a good base for many sports as well.

Progressive
Progressive Gymnastics at Flips
These classes are for children who are entering first grade and higher.
Multiple classes are held at each time scheduled. The children are divided by age and skill level where appropriate to achieve maximum progress and stimulation. This also makes promotions easier on our "taxi drivers." Classes at this level are 75 minutes. At Flips Gymnastics our ultimate goal is to provide safe, competent instruction. We strive to help each child build self-esteem, confidence, and a love for physical fitness.
For example, "conditioning" for strength is a major part of our curriculum.
To make this more exciting we use the Jurassic Wall, The Web, Trapeze Swings, and Trampolines. We realize that not every child wants to go on to become an Olympian, and we have worked that into our philosophy of instruction.
We also realize that there are children who want to be on Team someday.
There is a place for all at Flips. Advanced classes are the avenue for team-bound gymnasts.
