Gymnastics is one of the most comprehensive lifestyle exercise programs incorporating strength, speed, flexibility, balance, coordination, power, endurance and discipline.
Shy or bold, children benefit from beginning their own practice and learning how to move their bodies.
Whether they choose to do recreational gymnastics classes, our 6-week progression-based gymnastics program or join our competitive exhibition team, the skills and dedication learned from gymnastics will benefit a child’s overall development.
While recreational classes are fitting for anyone, the gymnastics USAIGC competition team requires more practice hours and year-round commitment. Learn more here.
Healthy mind, healthy body. For many of the same reasons that yoga is important for adults, it is important for kids.
Helping to relax, improve sleep, improve emotional regulation, relieve stress, increase empathy, and improve mood and affect – yoga is great for children of all ages.
In addition to yoga classes for kids, Aerial yoga is also offered.
To the young child, verbal language and movement are entwined. Children develop enhanced sensory awareness, cognition and consciousness through dance and movement.
Through zumba and a variety of dance classes offered, children will be taught to move in a fun and imaginative way to develop basic movement skills.
Classes include general dance classes for kids, Zumba and TikTok Hip Hop!
Recreational Team | The Recreation Program is for beginner and intermediate gymnasts ages 4 & older that are interested in learning gymnastics or progressing without intent of moving to our competitive team. This program is based on the fundamentals of gymnastics with a strong emphasis on building technique and discipline.
Pre-Team | The Pre-team program is for intermediate gymnasts ages 4 & older. This program builds on existing fundamentals with high intensity and disciplined practices, preparing gymnasts mentally and physically for successful participation in a USAIGC competition team.
USAIGC Competition Team | The USAIGC competitive gymnastics team is the highest level of gymnastics for ages 5 & older that is offered at the Newtown Athletic Club. The team is invite only, and gives gymnasts an opportunity to explore the competitive world of gymnastics at a smaller scale. We offer routine training in all USAIGC levels, and focus our program around building mentally and physically strong and confident gymnasts on all events. All gymnasts are evaluated at the beginning of the season and placed into the appropriate level by our head coach. We compete in 5-7 competitions a season, host mock meets, in-house performances, team bonding nights, take part in local parades, and more.
