RECREATIONAL CLASSES
Beginner Classes
Brown's Beginner classes are the perfect start for your little gymnast. Classes are focused on fun and action. Our Friendly and energetic Coaches will make friends with your child and make sure they have a great time. All the while they'll be improving their strength, flexibility, balance and coordination. Child development experts agree that gymnastics at an early age can have many lasting benefits. But your kids won't know any of that, they'll just know they love gymnastics class and can't wait to come back!
NOVAS (RED) CLASS
Formerly known as our Red class, the Novas/Supernovas class is our Beginner Level Class for Kids ages 5 to 7 and ages 8 and up. Nova Kids are introduced to all four Olympic Events—Vault, Uneven Parallel Bars, Balance Beam and Floor Exercise. Each Nova Athlete will progress at their own pace as they explore and build their individual strength, confidence and ability through stations, skills and learning games. Nova Coaches are super engaged with your child, focusing their instruction on the fundamental building blocks that your gymnast will need to excel in the sport. And, of course making sure your little Athletes are having a fantastic time!
COMETS (YELLOW) CLASS
All the fun and hard work of Nova and Meteor Classes really pay off in our Comets Class (called our Yellow Class previously), as Athletes begin to add Intermediate Gymnastics Skills to the basics. Comet Athletes now have the strength and flexibility to perform Splits, attempt confident Leaps and Jumps, 2 second Handstands (or maybe even longer), true Cartwheels & Bridges, Back Hip Circles & Pullovers, preliminary Vault drills. Comet Class is a very exciting time that begins to show the Athletes what is possible and what is to come as they progress in gymnastics.
METEORS (ORANGE) CLASS
Once your Athlete has mastered the skills in our Novas Class, Meteors (previously named Orange) is the next step in their gymnastic's progression. Our fabulous instructors continue teaching on all four Olympic Events. The focus is on fun, safety, backwards & forward rolling, bridges, cartwheels and building even more strength & flexibility. Each Meteor Athlete will be encouraged to perform and perfect basic skills under their own power! Watch them as they grow.
BOYS CLASSES
Boys are super energized and always ready for action! So, our Boys Classes put them through the paces with tumbling, twisting, flipping, super strength on rings and more. Plus balance and air awareness gets them ready for all their favorite things like skateboarding, wakeboarding and action sports.
INTERMEDIATE Classes
Intermediate Classes prepare interested girls for possible movement into our pre-team and competitive program. At these levels, moving into one of these more advanced programs is still just an option, not a requirement. Girls in Green or above may choose to continue to advance in our Rainbow Program or attend a bi-annual pre-team or Xcel team tryout.
BRONZE (GREEN/BLUE/PURPLE) CLASS
The Bronze Curriculum continues your Athlete's Intermediate and advanced skills development, as it builds on the focus and intensity of the skills, paying particular attention to body shaping technique, and mastering the elements of each skill with grace and precision. Terminology, strength and flexibility continue to play a key role as athletes learn to incorporate their specific knowledge on each event. The Bronze Class is a very exciting time where many Athletes begin to see themselves as capable Gymnasts. With these new skills, we are offering this class as a hybrid competitive program as well. See the Front Desk for more information!
PROPER ATTIRE FOR STUDENTS:
To help keep all students safe, comfortable, and ready to have fun in class, children participate barefoot on the gym floor. Socks, tights, and footed leggings are best left in the cubbies during class time.
For everyone’s safety, we kindly ask that jewelry such as watches, rings, necklaces, and large earrings be removed before class begins.
Girls are encouraged to wear a leotard or comfortable athletic attire, while boys may wear shorts and a t-shirt. To help students move safely and comfortably, clothing with buttons or zippers should be avoided.
Students with long hair should have it securely tied back and away from the face before class.
Cubbies are available for shoes, jackets, socks, and other personal belongings so students can participate comfortably and without distractions.
While waiting in the front lobby, we kindly ask that siblings remain supervised at all times. To help keep the area safe and organized, children should not wait or play in the Pro Shop.
