Incredible Benefits of Gymnastics for Toddlers
​
· Enhanced flexibility and posture:
Gymnastics promotes flexibility, which is another great quality that helps to reduce the chances of injury
· Confidence and self-esteem:
Learning to work within a class and performing with others can boost their confidence and overall self-esteem.
· Strength coordination and balance:
When performing the body strengthening exercises involved with gymnastics, your little one will enhance their upper body, lower body, and overall core strength as a result.
· Physical, social and emotional skills:
Your child can improve communication and engagement with children their age as well as adults.
· Patience:
Practicing standing in line for short periods of time and containing your excitement as you wait for your turn on the trampoline are just a couple of ways gymnastics teaches patience.
· Discipline:
Combining listening, respect for rules and patience leads to discipline.
· Following directions:
Gymnastics teaches kids to follow multi-stepped directions.
· Safety:
Listening to the rules of how we keep ourselves safe in the gym helps children learn how to follow rules at home and school

​
These intensive classes focus on conditioning, flexibility, strength and poise, whilst learning compulsory routines following the Australian Level Program (ALP) Gymnasts will work on technique across all apparatus, whilst fostering positive attitudes, setting long term goals, striving to be their best, and making friendships in a supportive team environment.
Gymnasts are required to attend all ALP and Club championship Competitions in these classes.
The Level classes are an annual Cycle, from August to June.
Gymnasts who can complete all the skills at the end of the year will have the opportunity to move up to the next level.
.
Please note: The ALP is designed for Gymnasts to be able to stay in the same Level for 2 years, to master the skills correctly. Therefore there are two different routines for this reason.
At Flipping Kids, it's essential that our Gymnasts are well prepared and competing at a Level they can perform well in, and to feel confident in their own progress and success.
We encourage NOT to compare with others, but to compete, progress and challenge themselves, and be proud of their own accomplishments.
