Starting Young Program
Our gymnastics program for children 18 months through kindergarten age is called Starting Young...On the Way to Fitness, because we help them get a great start on fitness being a way of life. Children at BGS are learning important life skills such as confidence, perseverance and discipline. They are also developing strength, flexibility, learning body awareness and social skills such as listening, following directions and being a part of a small group. Our numerous teaching aids and colorful equipment stimulate your child's imagination and facilitate learning. Lesson plans change every 2 weeks so kids stay challenged and interested.

Boys & Girls Progressive Classes
The Boys & Girls Level classes follow USA Gymnastics' Junior Olympic Developmental Program. The skills they learn in class are progressive and build on the previous level. As our students work in each developmental level they are building strength, flexibility, balance and spatial awareness which are inherent in gymnastics. These elements lay a wonderful foundation which helps them in any sports they choose to be involved in.
Our Progressive class students will work on all the appropriate gymnastics events and also work tumble trampolines, and a variety of mats and equipment designed to facilitate learning.
Students move from one level to another in our progressive program by mastering specific skills and earning ribbons at each level. Only when certain skills are mastered, can we be assured of our students safety and success in the next level. We train our teachers to emphasize fun, safety and to create a positive and constructive learning environment.
