Welcome to St. Louis Spirits Gymnastics Club
Instructional Program
(Ages 5 and Up)
Our instructional program is designed for children ages 5* and up. We have developed a well-rounded gymnastics program that focuses on safely teaching the foundational skills of gymnastics and then building on them. Our priorities after safety are for classes to continue to be fun and educational. Our teachers are well-trained and know how to teach to each child’s learning style which optimizes success. However, we don’t merely measure success by what skill a child has. Success is also measured by a child maturing, becoming a better listener, better able to follow directions, perseverance, compassion, good sportsmanship, conquering fears and the list goes on and on. Gymnastics is the tool we use to help the children that come through our doors be better people and athletes who value themselves and others.
A single Fly Away class will consist of 2 levels: Fly Away 1 and Fly Away 2. Both these levels stress the very basics of gymnastics with an emphasis on correct technique.
After a child has successfully mastered the Fly Away 1 and 2 skills, she would have earned a spot in an Aerial class. At the Aerial level the skills become more difficult. The children will have additional work on strength and flexibility in order to help them master these, more challenging, skills.
*5-year-olds must complete at least one 8-week session in our Tumbling Tigers program before being able to move to a Fly Away class.
