GymStars Program GymStars classes are for children in 1st grade and older and are divided into girl only and boy only classes. Gymnastics is an unsurpassed children's activity for building fitness as well as teaching essential life skills. Our developmental class program is non-competitive and the pace is individual. Gymnastics is an individual sport, and each child will progress at their own rate. Older students generally progress more quickly than younger students due to their natural maturity and ability to understand and follow instructions quickly. |

In Which Class Should My School-Age Child Enroll? Children should sign up for the grade-appropriate gymnastics class. (All unlabeled classes are beginner/advanced beginner level classes). Students previously enrolled in an Intermediate level class , but who have not been in a class for more than 2 months, should be evaluated before re-enrolling. |

Class Structure We start each class with 20 minutes of general fitness activities-10 minutes of cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, and muscular endurance activities followed by 10 minutes of flexibility. After this warm-up, gymnasts will work on three of the gymnastics events per week-floor exercise and tumbling, balance beam (for girls only), uneven parallel bars, vaulting, and trampoline-events vary from week to week. Classes are divided by grade and skill level. Beginner and Advanced Beginner classes are 65 minutes long; Intermediate classes are 80 minutes long. Most students attend class once or twice per week. We do provide discounts for attending more than one class per week. Multiple children in one family also qualify for the multiple class discounts; please see our Class Price List for details. For class policies regarding attendance, dress code, make-ups, etc. please see our Airborne General Class Policies. For specific days and times please see our Class Schedules. |
