School-Age Gymnastics

At Texas Dreams Gymnastics, once your child enters Kindergarten, they "graduate" to the recreational program. At this time the girls and boys classes are generally split into "Level" classes for girls, and "Jackaloops" classes for boys. Both paths are designed to foster your child's love of physical fitness and gymnastics in a fun, challenging environment.

Based upon the premise that ALL children benefit from training their young bodies and minds, emphasis is placed on body awareness, speed, agility, flexibility and strength. Classes are modeled after the USA Gymnastics level progressions. The athletes will train on the actual gymnastics aparatus for their level and gender.

Gymnastics training enhances many other sports, including soccer, football, dance, basketball and track. "Fast twitch' muscles, necessary for explosive speed and quickness are naturally awakened through vault and floor training. Early training in upper body strength can be crucial for the future diver, pole-vaulter or baseball star, and can begin with early gymnastics training.

Whether your young school-aged child aspires to be a future Olympic gymnast, or a future acting phenom like Noah Ringer (Airbender), training at Texas Dreams is the place to be.
