BOYS GYMNASTICS!
All of our boys recreational and developmental gymnastics classes follow a progressive lesson plan developed by our Owner, Randy Sooter, and are influenced by the USA Gymnastics leveling system.

Leaping Lizards Recreational Classes
Boys Beginning Leaping Lizards
Age Groups: 5-6, 6-8, 9+
During this stage of development, it is important to keep kids involved in physical fitness. The Beginning Leaping Lizards classes teach kids the importance of physical fitness through gymnastics. Boys are challenged to learn specific gymnastics skills that are conducted on all of the Olympic events. Progress is monitored through a star chart and a written evaluation form is completed by coaches during week six during Sessions 3 and 6. Advancement to the Intermediate Level is based on meeting 80% of the skills required for their level and coach’s recommendation.

Age Groups: 6-10+
