Little Stars -- This class is for children
2 - 3 years of age. A parent or responsible adult participation
is required. Children work on increasing their motor
skills, coordination and body awareness. Activities
appropriate for the age and skill level of the student are
provided in a fun atmosphere. Children will experience
different types of apparatus with hands on support.
Pre-school -- Students between
the ages of 3 and 5 begin learning the terms and concepts
of gymnastics in greater detail. Children develop balance,
control, increase motor skills and learn focus and concentration,
socialization and respect for others. Activities
are age appropriate and will include skills such as, rolls,
handstands, cartwheels, bridges, jumps, and the basics of
bars, beam, vault, and trampoline.
Recreational- Elementary
-- Most classes are multi-level and appropriate for beginners
through intermediate level gymnasts. Students learn
the fundamentals as well as intermediate level skills.
These classes follow USA Gymnastics progressions from levels
1-3, including cartwheels, round-offs, back walkovers, and
back handsprings. They will also learn fundamentals
on bars, beam, vault, and trampoline.
Junior/Senior High
-- This is mainly a tumbling program for girls with an emphasis
on learning proper progressions in both tumbling skills and
conditioning. This is an excellent class for cheerleaders
needing to learn tumbling skills. Open to girls
going into 6th grade with some tumbling experience.
Some apparatus work and trampoline is included.
Pre-Team -- Here is the class
for girls interested in "more than recreational gymnastics".
Gymnasts will be learning skills consistent with USAG compulsory
routines. Evaluation/ recommendation by the coach
is required. There is more work on equipment than in the recreational
program.
Girl's Team -- Gymnasts must
possess certain skills such as a round-off back handspring
and be evaluated by the head coach. Team participation
requires an increased level of commitment for training and
seasonal competition. Gymnasts must work all 4 events.
Rising Star teams follow the ten level progressions of USA
Gymnastics and compete in State and regional meets.
Boy's Team -- This is a combination
of pre- team and team and is open to interested boys with
basic level skills. They work all 6 men's events and
follow the USA Gymnastics levels. When gymnasts are
ready, there is an opportunity for competition. The
men's events are Floor Exercise, Pommel Horse, Still rings,
High bar, Parallel Bars and Vault.
Trampoline -- New in the fall
of 2003 this class will begin with skill development and offers
the opportunity for competition when gymnasts are ready.
Camps -- Summer Camps at Rising
Star offer students a unique opportunity to shine! In
addition to learning new skills and new routines, the students
also play games and do cool crafts. Each day is special,
so make sure to check ahead for the daily theme!
Private Lessons -- Private
lessons are only offered to students enrolled in the program.
They are offered in 30 minute sessions to work on a particular
skill or routine. Open on a limited basis.
Open Gym -- This is a time for
gymnasts to work on skills they already have and can perform
safely without the help of an instructor. Instructors
are available but will not provide instruction in a private
lesson format during open gym time. Rising Star students
may bring friends not enrolled in the program, but they MUST
have a liability waiver signed by a parent/guardian before
participation.
