Welcome to the USA Gymnastics School @ Technique Studios!!!
Gymnastics in the World Today
The Olympics are like no other competition, offering some of the greatest moments of unscripted drama. For millions of people, watching the gymnastics competitions are the most enjoyable part of the Summer Olympics. We all want to know who is going to be the next Mary Lou Retton or Shannon Miller. Other famous gymnasts such as Olga Korbut, Nadia Comaneci and Carly Patterson, have become global stars to young girls everywhere. Olympic Team members like Peter Korman, Peter Vidmar, John Roethlisberger, and John Macready, along with champions Paul and Morgan Hamm, are idols to generations of boys across the world.
As the 2008 Summer Olympic Games approach, we know that families will once again become excited by the sport of gymnastics. Children will want to learn how to flip, twist, and "fly" - and they can do it at Technique Studios in a fun and safe environment.
USA Gymnastics at Technique Studios
We are proud to offer USA Gymnastics at Technique Studios as one of our three primary disciplines. Our curriculum is based on the USAG JR. Olympic Program as well as our 23+ years of teaching gymnastics to children. Gymnastics training helps children learn confidence, balance, coordination, strength and flexibility. These abilities create the building blocks for future success in gymnastics, and a firm foundation for any sport in which children may choose to participate.
The USA Gymnastics program at Technique Studios covers child development theory in the context of gymnastics movement education. All of our instructors are required to complete the specific USA Gymnastics University courses for the levels that they teach. Our instructors have been specially selected by Miss Nancy, our Gymnastics Director, for their abilities to bring out the best in each child. And, as always, safety comes first in our gymnastics program. Therefore, you may feel rest assured that all of our instructors are also required to be USA Gymnastics Safety Certified.
Pre School and Grade School Gymnastics
Technique Studios offers Pre School and Grade School Gymnastics classes. Pre School children will become familiar with the shapes that form gymnastics skills, gain strength and increase their flexibility. As they progress in the curriculum they will learn to conquer fears such as falling, heights or going backwards. All of these goals will be pursued in a fun and safe environment.
Grade School children will also learn the groundwork for fundamentally sound gymnastics. Students will become stronger, more flexible, gain confidence, and increase their coordination in our classes. Students can obtain these whether or not they have had previous experience.
Progressions and Measures of Progress
Gymnastics is a progressive sport whereby skills can only be mastered through obtaining the proper foundation, investing sufficient time and focusing on technique. Students can measure their progress through the regular evaluations and feedback from their instructors. All students and families are encouraged to communicate on a regular basis with their instructors.
Teaching Principles
Our goal is to teach USA Gymnastics with compassion, respect, creativity and discipline. We use a positive approach to encourage our students to do their best and keep them motivated. When you come to Technique Studios for Gymnastics, you will meet friendly, helpful people and have a great time while learning gymnastics and improving your health and fitness! See you soon!
