GYMNASTICS

Recreational Classes


AMP Athletics' offers a variety of gymnastics classes for children (Kindergarten and older) that focus on each child’s particular skill level. All of our gymnastics classes are meant to prepare our athletes to reach their gymnastics goals through teaching proper technique and form as well as life lessons. All of our intermediate gymnastics and advanced gymnastics classes are meant to prepare both the younger and/or the less experienced athletes for our competitive and recreational intermediate gymnastics and advanced gymnastics team programs. These programs are wonderful for girls of all ages and skill levels. There is a gymnastics class for all abilities, beginners through advanced, and AMP Athletics is confident that your athlete will grow both physically and mentally, in and out of the gym.

 

These classes are all technically driven because gymnastics is a sport based upon good technique and form. In order for students to grow and progress as quickly and efficiently as possible, our coaches make sure that they use proper technique in everything from their warm-up and gymnastics skills to their conditioning. These gymnastics classes for beginners are a wonderful starting point for all athletes!
