By Lance Aldinger


Classes in gymnastics are not only for the student who wants to enter competition, although that is always a possibility. It is a place and time for joining other classmates for fun and strenuous exercise. As any physician will confirm physical activity is healthy. Taking a class at Ambler PA Childrens Gymnastics provides healthy exercise that will develop control and flexibility in your child.

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.

Children may take hour long classes and later on ninety minute classes if they prefer. Some are girls only and some are co-ed at the younger ages. The boys and girls are taught separately when they prepare for competitions since each gender has different events.

Longer sessions of ninety minutes build physical strength and advanced skills. Spending extra time on the equipment such as parallel bars helps students who want to perfect their skills. These classes move at a fast pace under the direction of a professional instructor.

There are tumbling and trampoline classes. A special class can be arranged for a group of cheerleaders to learn back handsprings. The student serious about playing on any kind of sports team can benefit from strength training. Also, feeling in control of bodily movements is invaluable for soccer, football and baseball.

Flexibility developed by stretching is beneficial for runners. The student will develop endurance skills. Good control is required for individual sports such as golf or tennis. While gymnastics may be the focus in our classes the acquisition of physical control is an invaluable asset when competing in any sport.
