Ambler PA Kids Gym Provides Sports Skills Development Programs For Girls And Boys Of All Ages

By Lance Aldinger


Classes in gymnastics are not only for the student who wants to enter competition, although that is always a possibility. It is a place and time for joining other classmates for fun and strenuous exercise. As any physician will confirm physical activity is healthy. Taking a class at Ambler PA Childrens Gymnastics provides healthy exercise that will develop control and flexibility in your child.

Front and back somersaults and cartwheels are done on a soft tumbling mat. Safety is always a concern for our students. They are complimented on their successes and encouraged to improve their skills. All ages are welcome to join.

The children are put into the appropriate class depending on age and ability. First the foundational skills are taught. They are introduced to the various pieces of equipment such as balance beam, vault and parallel bars. Floor exercise, with its dance moves and tumbling runs, is done on an Olympic quality floor mat.

Children may take hour long classes and later on ninety minute classes if they prefer. Some are girls only and some are co-ed at the younger ages. The boys and girls are taught separately when they prepare for competitions since each gender has different events.

The longer sessions allow for more time to be spent on the equipment. Boys must develop their upper body strength to compete on still rings and even parallel bars. These are fast paced sessions with a professional instructor.

Some classes are given in trampoline and tumbling only. A school cheerleading team may request a class to learn back handsprings and other tricks. Someone who wants to compete on the football or soccer team will need excellent body control and endurance. Doing aerial somersaults on the trampoline develop that control of movement.

Flexibility developed by stretching is beneficial for runners. The student will develop endurance skills. Good control is required for individual sports such as golf or tennis. While gymnastics may be the focus in our classes the acquisition of physical control is an invaluable asset when competing in any sport.
