Class Summary:
The Girls and Boys Recreational Program is set up for fun and recreation. Our program is designed to teach proper techniques and solid fundatmentals without jeopardizing the inherent fun and excitement found in the wonderful sport of gymnastics. Couple this approach of strong, safe procedures with an excellent staff, this means only one thing, your young gymnast will learn while enjoying themselves.
Curriculum:
STGA follows the guidelines of the United States Junior Olympic Program. Our staff uses the USAG Junior Olympic Program's levels 1 thru 4 as the bases of all instruction. This includes all the men's and women's Olympic events, as well as trampoline and tumble trak. We take great care in training a well rounded gymnast. The women gymnasts train on vault, bars, beam, and floor exercise (tumbling), and the men are taught on rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, vault, floor (tumbling), and high bar.
STGA offers several recreational level classes for school age children including:
Girls Recreational: Girls recreational classes are for girls only. Athletes must be at least 5 years old to participate in this class and are often as old as 14 years.

This class is 1 hour long and time is spent on all the women’s events, including vault, bars, beam, floor, and trampoline. Athletes attend class once a week and the cost is $85 per session. Each session is 8 weeks long.
