Classes

CLASSES + PARTIES

Whatever your child’s goals are, gymnastics will give them lifelong skills that go beyond the gym! Foundations gymnastics at a young age prepares kids for ALL sports and helps to foster life-long positive fitness habits. Benefits include: mental focus, social skills (sharing, taking turns, listening, friendships), balance, strength, flexibility, coordination, body awareness, positive self esteem, and perceptual motor skills.

BAGC offers lessons starting at age 1 through High School Seniors. Levels include Tiny Tots, Tiny Tumblers, Beginner, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Pre-Team and MAGA Team programs. All of our classes are open to athletes ages 1 to 18. 

If you are new to Blue Angels Gymnastics Club, and unsure of which level to enroll your child - we invite you to join us at Open Gym on Friday evenings from 6:30 to 8:00 PM (beginning September 6th) for a free, 15-minute skills test . A coach will provide a level recommendation to ensure your gymnast is enrolled in a level that best matches his or her current skills.  No appointment is necessary—just come ready to show your skills and get started on your gymnastics journey!

TINY TOTS (AGES 12-36 MONTHS)

This parent-guided gymnastics class, open to children under 3 years of age, emphasizes rhythmic movement, body awareness and repetition. The parent is included in participation, not only to help guide the child but to have constructive playtime with them. This class focuses on both gross and fine motor development while emphasizing the importance of toddler socialization. Instructors make classes fun and interesting with stretching, jumping, swinging, and learning how to roll and fall safely. Parents will assist their little athletes through a series of obstacle courses and activities which will vary each week. 


TINY TUMBLERS (AGES 3-4 YEARS OLD) - not currently offered for Fall 2024, join us in a Beginner class!

Our preschool program is designed to help children, ages 3-4 years, grow not only physically, but mentally, socially and emotionally, as well. We focus on positive reinforcements for attempts rather than results. We help children to learn that their best effort IS the most important factor in being successful!

Children will independently explore beginning tumbling skills. Classes will emphasize confidence, following directions, listening and cooperating while using bars, beams, trampolines, and various mats. Children will learn to jump, balance, and roll while practicing taking turns and following a circuit.


BEGINNERS (AGES 3 AND ABOVE)

This 60-minute class is an introduction to basic gymnastics skills for children ages 3 and above. No prior gymnastics experience necessary. Classes will start with a 10-15 minute warm-up and stretch and then work through different stations. As the session and the athletes progress, the stations will be modified, but repetition of fundamentals while having fun is key to Beginner gymnastics.
At each station, little athletes will try a skill multiple times before moving on, sometimes with the hands-on assistance of a coach and other times under a watchful eye, teaching persistence, repetition, and good listening skills.

The athlete will progress to Level 1 (and beyond) after he or she has demonstrated better technique, improved strength and flexibility, and met skills required on the skills test (assessed by coaches at end of each session).
