Riverbrook Regional Y Gymnastics Training Center (Wilton, CT)

2018 SUMMER AT THE GYMNASTICS CENTER>

Tiny Tumblers (parent/child class)
One or two coaches lead while parents interact with their children and teach them development skills utilizing all our equipment. An obstacle course is set up and toddlers learn very basic gymnastics skills, including rolls, jumps and balance.

Rollers 2.5 – 3.5 years old
Your little one will develop independence in this 45 minute class, while participating in games, songs, running, jumping, and increasing hand-eye coordination. Your child will learn a variety of developmentally appropriate gymnastics skills in a safe, kid-friendly, environment. After the first class we encourage you to drop off but the choice is yours.

Flippers 3.5 – 4.5
A little older than the Rollers, these students are starting to know the ropes and are ready to move on to bigger and better things. Although the skill differences are sometimes tough to see, it is the listening and directional skills that provide for a more advanced learning experience. As guided free play will start this class, many of the same gymnastics skills and concepts from previous level classes are used but enhanced, improved upon and perfected. Instructors will be working on the proper mechanics of rolling forward and backward, handstands, beginner cartwheels as well and the basic fundamentals on bars vault and beam. This class is also 45 minutes long.

Twisters 4.5 – 5 years old
In this 45 minute class we still have a guided free play. We will work on the fundamentals of gymnastics, correcting their form and technique. Your child will learn to develop and advance their gymnastics talents. This class is a step in to the world of gymnastics. Here they will challenge themselves to be stronger mentally and physically, more flexible and more determined!

Kindergarten 5.5 – 6 years old(must be in Kindergarten)
This 45 minute class is more structured and teaches the basic gymnastics skills. A more advanced level from the Twisters class. This class will have a dedicated stretch time and a minimal free play. An introduction to progressive gymnastics focusing on introducing the 4 events, Floors, Bar, Beam and vault.

Progressive gymnastics for ages 6–10
