Preschool Gymnastics -- 3- 51/2 yr olds (45 minutes)
These classes are offered mornings and evenings throughout the week. During this age, the young child becomes gradually more and more aware of the body in which he/she lives. (Many are not aware of their arms or legs; these get added to conscious perception as time goes along.) These classes focus on on the gradual accumulation of skills, the social skills necessary to work in a group, and also the ability to string skills together, mentally and physically.
Beginning Gymnastics -- 51/2 - 14 yr olds (60 minutes)
Girls and Boys Classes -- Somewhere between 5 or 6, small people start remembering and performing specific gymnastics skills, both because they are physically ready and also because they are mentally ready. Since there is much less random action and more forethought than in, say, basketball or soccer, gymnasts must plan ahead -- a crucial critical skills -- and, moreover, plan ahead that their body will do something specific at a specific time. All the beginning classes naturally focus on elemental skills which can lead to bigger skills but they also introduce the mental skills of planning, visualizing and correcting.
Intermediate Girls Gymnastics -- 7 - 14 yr olds (1 1/2- 2 hrs)
Once we have the basic skills in place -- in a year or two years -- it is time to advance to the intermediate skills, skills which can be used outside the gym as well as inside: handsprings, flips, aerials, cartwheels, etc. In the gym, though, we focus on the skills which will progrss upward in gymnastics events like rings, uneven bars, beam, pommel horse, vault, floor, high bar and so forth. Also, when enough of these skills are present, we start to assemble them into routines -- performances, really. This is when things get fun!
Intermediate Boys Gymnastics (2 hrs)

Graduates here usually go into cheer or Rec/Op (see below).
Middle School/ High School Girls Gymnastics (2 hrs)
Oftentimes, young people come to gymnastics with no background in it. They need it for a cheer squad or dance team or diving program, for example. Or they want to go out for gymnastics in school. This is the class for a wide range of abilities and the setting is right because all the participants are 11 or older.
Boys Junior Olympic Team
Graduates from the intermediate boys program usually join this team which competes around the state against other gyms. This year we've formed a squad that only competes locally, to keep travel costs down.
Girls Rec/Op Team (2 hrs, 2x a week)
Graduates of the Intermediate Level often join our Recreational Optional team which , as the name suggests, is a team where you can compete the events you want and aren't required to do those you don't want! These girls compete mostly in Spokane and Idaho but occasionally go west of the Cascades.
