GIRLS GYMNASTICS
Our Ninja program is a weekly class that teaches movement skills for all sports. We begin class with an obstacle course and follow up with 3 events. Ninjas work on tumbling, bars, climbing, and wall skills to increase their fitness. Each week they can earn up to 5 achievement stickers for their poster (game board). Once they fill the game board they earn a patch for their uniform shirt. Weekly contests and games keep them motivated and moving!

Beginner tumbling will work on strengthening handstands, cartwheels, bridges, and rolls, as well as basic drills for round offs, and walkovers. Intermediate Tumbling have mastered these skills, and will work on perfecting their round-offs, handsprings and walkovers.
