ACADEMY
of Gymnastics and Dance welcomes all
children who have a desire to make
gymnastics a part of their lives.
Programs for all ages and levels are
designed to nurture each gymnast,
leading to satisfaction and personal
rewards that come from accomplishment
and being fit. ACADEMY of Gymnastics and
Dance is known as one of the best of the
nation, emphasizing serious,
professional training. We realize that
there are other students who are not
necessarily preparing as elite gymnasts.
These students also are encouraged to
participate for the fun and fitness of
gymnastics and see where it can lead. We
have the expertise to guide them at
every level. Children as early as
walking-age can start in our
recreational classes, where they learn
fine and gross motor skills, balance and
movement. |
Gymnastics is a weight-bearing sport as
many of the skills are based on being
able to support the weight of the body
in different positions. This training
develops muscular flexibility,
coordination and endurance, and also
contributes to high bone density. This
is an important factor in preventing
osteoporosis later in life. Gymnastics
also contributes to all-around body
strength as it is symmetrical sport.
Most skills require the same level and
strength of output from both sides of
the body, avoiding unequal development
which can luster be the cause of
skeletal and muscular problems. |
ACADEMY
of Gymnastics and Dance we have the
experience and coaching to take a child
from recreational to elite, if he/she so
desires. We treat gymnastics as much
more than just a sport. Our Coaches aims
to enhance each gymnast's physical,
mental and personal development through
teamwork, performance in competitions,
and by creating an environment that
encourages personal friendships. |
