recgymnastics500

Spirit Athletics’ recreational gymnastics program uses a color system to place gymnasts into classes based on their skill level. The time spent in the class of each color will provide your gymnast with skill progressions, strength training, increased flexibility, and lots of smiles.

Our program is broken into three levels, Blue, Silver & Black. Each gymnast will be provided a unique and fun wristband that coordinates with the class color of her level. We encourage our athletes to wear their wristbands to class! Striving to reach the next color is an exciting way to grow with our program and to help your gymnast to set goals and reach them! Each gymnast will have a skill sheet in her class notebook that will keep track of your gymnast’s individual progression at each level. During each class, we will rotate to two of the four Olympic events: Vault, Bars, Beam, and Floor. Beginner gymnasts will automatically be placed in a Blue level class. If your athlete has previous gymnastics instructions, please email Coach Brittney at Brittney@spiritac.net to schedule an evaluation to determine which level best suits your gymnast. We will hold class evaluation throughout the year to determine when your gymnast is ready to move to the next level.
