Often kids wear shorts and a t-shirt or sweat pants and a t-shirt, depending on the time of year it is. Leotards are also often worn, however make sure not to put them on with tights as the children participate barefoot (no shoes, socks or slippers). Children with long hair should have their hair tied up and out of their face.
Each class begins with a warm up and stretch which is done in a fun, unique and interactive way between the kids. We play games and use music to get them enjoying the warm up and involved in the activities. After the warm up the kids will rotate to different apparatus where they will learn different skills appropriate for the age and ability. The apparatus they will go to are trampoline, floor circuit, bars, beam, rings, vault. For more details on each apparatus see our unique graduated system.
In KinderBounce Gymnastics the kids will have the opportunity to be physically active while interacting with their parents and the facilitator. We will teach you the correct way to hold your child on the bars, beam, floor and vault apparatus. The all time favorite trampoline is always a hit where the kids will learn to jump and develop their core strength which is important to start at a young age. We also have several trainer trampolines for the really young ones who may need the handle bars to assist with the jumping.
Our program is for boys and girls. In fact we have a 50/50 split for the most part between the two genders. It is an excellent sport for any child to participate in regardless of gender.
ymnastics, especially at a young age, is such a great sport to help develop your child into a strong, flexible, agile and coordinated young athlete. Whether your child is already all of the above or needs to improve on their gross motor skills (GMS) gymnastics is an important sport for children to participate in. Gymnastics is the type of sport which develops the kids GMS that they can eventually filter into any other sport of their choice later on down the road. KinderBounce Gymnastics focuses on each child's strengths and weaknesses to help them develop into an all-round athlete or become the gymnast they aspire to be.
Most children with age become climbers, swingers, jumpers, and just naturally move about in their surroundings. With a gymnastics program like KinderBounce your child will learn how to safely do all of the above and more. The goal of KinderBounce is to help children improve in their strength, agility, coordination, balance and more which will make their natural movements more safe but it will allow them to become more confident in their own abilities and athleticism. KinderBounce instructors all have NCCP artistic gymnastics and trampoline certification and all have experience working with children. With the proper instruction, equipement and safety mats KinderBounce provides an excellent learning environment for children.
