The Y Preschool Gymnastics Program
The Y Preschool Gymnastics program allows boys and girls ages 2-6 years to experience the world of gymnastics. This progressive program will allow children to begin gymnastics classes with a parent in our Me and My Tumbler class (ages 1-3). When children are ready for classes independently, they can enroll in the Tumble Weeds class (ages 3-4) which will focus on coordination and learning class structure. When children have grasped the concept of class structure they will progress to the Tiny Tumbler program (ages 4-5). After gaining experience in basic gymnastics techniques children will advance to the Rising Stars class (ages 5-6). These advanced preschool classes will emphasize the basics of gymnastics and prepare the child for more advance levels in gymnastics and working on the Olympic events. Our goal is that children and their parents have a fun, positive, and exciting experience in our preschool gymnastics programs at the Middleboro YMCA.
The Y Youth Gymnastics Programs (K - 8th grade and up)
The Y Youth Gymnastics program is created to be both recreational and instructional and to incorporate age-appropriate conditioning for the strength and flexibility needed for the sport. Gymnasts follow specific progressions guidelines for proper skill development on each of the Olympic events. Participation helps develop agility, strength, balance, and flexibility. For safety, appropriate gymnastics attire is required. Classes at this level include Rollers (6 and up) (USAG Level 1), Swingers (8 and up) (USAG Level 2), Kippers (USAG level 3, and Pre-team by invitation only.
