own age and gender grouping, currently 6-8 and 9 and up. Students are given
instruction on all pieces of gymnastics apparatus designed for their grouping.
Students are taught basic to intermediate gymnastic skills, flexibility and strength.

is "their sport" and would like to excel further, may want to consider signing up for
two classes a week.
