This week’s Beginner Gymnastics setup — and every single station has a purpose. 👀
Week three, and this class is already moving through some beautiful fundamentals. Here’s what we’ve got running today:
Trampoline: Bunny hops into handstand shape — then falling safely onto their back. That “”falling”” part? It’s one of the most important skills a young gymnast can learn. Controlled landings start here.
Long support holds: Pushing the wall away five times. Sounds simple. It’s actually teaching them to lock their shoulders, engage their core and find a straight body — the exact same position they’ll need for every cartwheel, handstand and bar skill that comes next.
Long tramp: Hurdle into a cartwheel. The hurdle is everything — it’s where the power comes from. We’re building that habit early.
Bridge work: Two variations, both focused on pushing up tall. Shoulder flexibility and overhead strength, hidden inside something kids love doing.
Panel mat cartwheels: Moving one foot at a time through the cartwheel steps. This is how you actually teach a cartwheel — slow it right down so the brain can wire it properly before speed gets added.
Forward and backward wall push: Both directions. Upper body, posture, body tension — all of it.
Handstand station: Big kick, hold the shape, land back in the hula hoops. The hoops aren’t just fun — they teach kids to land with intention.
Skipping ropes: Coordination, timing, and rhythm. More athletic than it looks.
This isn’t free play. Every prop, every station, every rep has a skill underneath it.
If your 5–7 year old hasn’t tried Beginner Gymnastics yet, their first class is free.
