Recreational Classes

Atlanta North Stars provides an opportunity for each student to participate in an organized fun and safe program of physical activity. The classes are designed to enhance the development of self-esteem, strength, coordination, and discipline. In order for each student to realize the maximum benefit from their participation, an emphasis will be placed on building a solid foundation in the fundamental skills of artistic gymnastics.

Preschool (Ages 3 & 4)

The class is 50 minutes long taught with a 6 to 1 ratio. This class teaches education of equipment, fundamentals of gymnastics with a focus on safety! In addition, they will also begin learning position recognition, running, hopping forward and backward, the beginnings of cartwheels and handstands, holding on to the bars, walking on lower beams, and much more! Children are encouraged to take direction during activities rather than visually mimicking activities. We also explore their independence, building confidence, and self-awareness through fun "by myself" activities.
