The core objective of our Recreational Program is to create an environment where each child can feel successful and learn positive self worth regardless of skill level. Gymnastics is not only a wonderful tool to aid in increasing self esteem but is also an exciting and enjoyable form of exercise. In addition, gymnastics develops skills as well as all of aspects of athletic ability including speed, agility, strength, balance, power and flexibility.  The love for physical exercise will allow your child to grow and continue a healthy lifestyle for the rest of their lives.

            The Foothills Recreational Gymnastics Program begins at the age of 5 for both boys and girls. These classes are designed to be challenging yet fun and include training in flexibility, strength as well as progression of skills. This program outlines definite objectives for each level on all of the different apparatus. Girls’ events include floor exercise, vault, uneven bars, balance beam and tumble track/trampoline while the boys’ events comprise of floor exercise, vault, pommel horse, parallel bars, high bar, still rings and tumble track/trampoline.

            The Boys Recreational Program begins with the pre-recreational class for 5 year olds and continues with Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced classes for ages 6 and older.

            The Girls Recreational Program also begins with a pre-recreational class for 5 year olds and then advances through Beginner 1, Beginner 2, Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2 and Advanced classes for kids ages 6 and up.  

            Your child’s progress will be tracked through skill charts which are maintained by the instructor at each level on each event. Our gymnastics skills are taken directly from the USA Gymnastics Junior Olympic Program and are designed to build the basic foundations necessary to learn upper level advanced skills.

            Your child’s instructor will notify you once your son or daughter is ready to advance to the next level by rewarding your gymnast with a certificate of Achievement.

            Through our system of levels, we assure our customers that we can provide a program that will meet your child’s needs whether they view gymnastics as a recreational activity or as a potentially competitive sport.
