Students come to gymnastics one time per week for an hour and 10 minutes. The objective is to have fun and become more physically active through basic gymnastics skill building. We help each child set goals and work on skills at their level. Recreational gymnastics will not produce a polished gymnast, but they will gain skills and stay fit! We offer beginner, intermediate and advanced classes. With only 1hour and 10 minutes per week it is realistic to expect your child to accomplish basic skills, some intermediate skills and over time, more advanced skills. These skills won't happen over night! It will take time. In addition to gymnastics skill building, you should also expect see your child having fun doing some socializing and enjoying gymnastics related games, especially in the 6- 8 year old range. What most people don't understand about gymnastics is how much work (time, conditioning, flexibility, dance) it takes to be an accomplished gymnast. Those who are, have been training for years and for long hours each week! If you and your child have a goal to acquire a higher level of gymnastics skills more quickly, you may want to consider another program.

Choose either the child directed class (2 to 3 years old with a helper) or pre-school (3 - 4 year olds without a helper)! In Child Directed Mommy, Daddy, grandma, nanny or other care giver helps their child learn gross motor skills, social interaction and parents can have their own social time with parents of other children! Each class your child will work on motor coordination with circle time that include songs and activities modified to accommodate the age and skill level of 2 - 3 year olds! The child is doing what he/she can with structure and assistance and is encouraged to explore new movement! Pre school is for ages 3 and 4 where the child must be able to be on their own. Children will have the ability to do skill based gymnastics; learning forward and backward rolls, cartwheels, jumping, basic bar, trampoline, beam and vaulting skills as well as other gross motor skills. We also work on taking turns, social skills and incorporate basic pre-school learning with numbers, letters and colors. You will often find a special theme week, such as beach, holiday, circus, space, under the sea...just to name a few!

Kindergarten age classes will focus on skill progression using both pre-school and traditional gymnastics apparatus to build strength, coordination, flexibility. Children will acquire basic beginning gymnastics skills mixed with a lot of fun!

Phantom Tumbling Program Welcome to the Phantom Flyers Tumbling program! In order to participate in this program you should be able to perform a handstand, a cartwheel and do a bridge on the floor. We would like to provide you with some information on the philosophy of our program. What to expect while attending the Phantom Tumbling program

• You will be working on your basics every class..handstands, round offs, rebounding, back handspring technique etc…..
• You will be performing endless amounts of drills to perfect the technique of the skill you are trying to achieve.
• You will be participating in strength and flexibility exercises to help you get to your goal.
• You can expect it to take up to a year to achieve a tumbling goal such as a back handspring.

If your body doesn’t have the required amount of strength and flexibility, spotting you on the skill you are trying to achieve over and over again WILL NOT HELP YOU. What WILL help you is performing drills, conditioning and stretching to increase strength and/or flexibility that you may be missing. A few spots are okay if you are close to these requirements. This requires a lot of patience and HARD WORK! Choosing to be in this program tells us that you are agreeing to this philosophy that we at Phantom STRONGLY believe in. We understand there are different programs that may do things differently. Our program isn’t for everyone so please evaluate your expectations against our training methods prior to registering for the class.

The developmental program is for girls who show an apptitude for gymnastics at a young age typically ages 5 - 7. The year in developmental is spent working with young gymnasts to develop their strength, flexibility, and create a solid foundation to begin down the path of the high level competitive USAG Team program. This program is by invite only and will be filled ONLY with girls who want to pursue our USAG JO competitive gymnastics team. You may request an evaluation. (subject to fee)
