Class Descriptions
Pre School Adventure Program
Pre school is similar to the mommy or daddy
and me, however, the child is own their own and
will have the ability to do more skill based
gymnastics. Children will learn 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!
Mommy or Daddy & Me!
Mommy or Daddy 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 year olds!

Recreation
Children come to gymnastics one time per week for an hour and 15 minutes.
We keep the classes fun and teach basic skills. 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 and intermediate classes. With only 1hour and 10
minutes per week it is realistic to expect your child to accomplish basic skills
and some intermediate 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 such as jump roping, parachutes, dancing/aerobic activities, 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! 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.
Semi-competitive team
This program is for girls who love gymnastics and
want to build more than basic skills more quickly
than a recreation program allows. These girls
come 3 hours per week and work on skills for all
events. We have a beginner group and an
intermediate group. The skills each girl learns may
vary slightly depending on abilities and physical
aptitude for the sport. The goal is to participate in
small, informal "in-house" competitions. After they
build some skills on all events, they will learn
routines and compete 3 - 4 times per year.
Girls in this program will work on some strength
and conditioning skills as well as flexibility and
form.

Stars
The stars are girls who have participated in Pre school or
Rec/kindergarten gymnastics programs. The class is designed
to teach gymnastics skills along with increasing strength and
flexibility. We use fun activities to work on conditioning so that
learning is still fun, but more deliberate than a recreation class.
The stars will be in gymnastics class 1 time per week for 1 hour
50 minutes and an option for summer. As the child progresses
through this class, we begin to understand what direction may
be appropriate. We look for talent level, progress, focus, ability
to follow directions, willingness to work and learn new skills and
desire to do gymnastics. Over time girls from the class will be
recommended for USAG team, some for next level of stars, semi-
competitive team and some for Prep-opt team. (Read on for
descriptions of those programs.) There may also be situations
where the gymnast wants go to a recreational gymnastics
class. Each outcome is perfectly okay! This is a program
created to figure all of that out earlier rather than later! (Sad, but
true….If a girl wants to really do competitive gymnastics and
doesn't start at age 5 -7, it gets really difficult!) Our purple stars
will participate in 2 - 3 in-house competitions this year! We have
added mini-stars (1 hour 10 min.) as an intro to the program!

Prep-opt Team
Gymnast will compete in prep-op meets
outside of the gym, 6 - 7 times per year.
This program is for USAG JO gymnasts
who are burnt out, talented gymnasts who
want to do other sports and young
gymnasts who find USAG too hard or time
consuming. Girls in this program must
have required skills to participate.
This program is by invite only. However, if
you feel you fit the qualifications, please
inquire! A discussion and evaluation will
be required.
USAG JO Team Gymnastics
( & developmental)
Phantom Gymnastics has a highly competitive
JO team. Girls must be recommended for
competitive gymnastics by having participated
in one of our other programs. The hours are
long and the work is hard! But for some girls,
it is just what they want!
If you are currently on a team and are
interested in the type of program we offer,
please contact us directly. We have more
information, but require a discussion first.
Tumbling
Tumbling classes are taken by
individuals who are interested in
Tumbling only. The tumbling class will
use the tumble track and trampoline in
addition to the spring floor. Some
experience is necessary. (we
recommend a gymnastics class first
and then move to the tumbling
specialty.) There is usually an
alternative sport that the individual is
learning tumbling for such as
cheerleading.
