Ambler PA Kids Gym Provides Sports Skills Development Programs That Have Invaluable Health Benefits

By Lance Aldinger


Children can benefit from gymnastics classes in many ways. They do more than prepare him or her to compete in events. Joining other kids for exercise makes it fun. Any pediatrician will agree that exercise contributes greatly to good health. Lessons at Ambler PA Childrens Gymnastics are filled with the kind of activity that will develop good exercise habits for life.

Front and back somersaults and cartwheels are done on a soft tumbling mat. Safety is always a concern for our students. They are complimented on their successes and encouraged to improve their skills. All ages are welcome to join.

A student is enrolled into a class according to age and eventually according to ability. She learns foundational skills in vault, balance beam, floor exercise and uneven parallel bars. These are the four events that women compete in at the Olympics and local competitions.

Beginning girls and boys take sixty minute classes. Some of the girls are preparing for cheerleading tryouts when they get to high school. The goal may simply be to exercise and socialize in a class of the childs peers.

Ninety minute classes focus on skills and physical strength training. These students spend more time on the apparatus to perfect their performance. The pace is fast and the instructor professional.

Some classes are given in trampoline and tumbling only. A school cheerleading team may request a class to learn back handsprings and other tricks. Someone who wants to compete on the football or soccer team will need excellent body control and endurance. Doing aerial somersaults on the trampoline develop that control of movement.

Stretching for flexibility is beneficial for all sports participants. Runners must stretch before each event or risk injury. Good control will contribute to success in sports such as golf. The skills acquired in gymnastics classes will be advantageous in any competitive sport.
