School Age Gymnastics for Girls
SCHOOL AGE GYMNASTICS FOR GIRLS
Over The Rainbow Program
Have Fun & Get Fit!!
Our Over the Rainbow Program was developed specifically for school age children with Fun and progressive gymnastics driving the program. Taken from ‘The Wizard of Oz’ movie of yester-year, Over the Rainbow has a foundation of ‘brains, courage and heart’ combined with progressive, developmental gymnastics from USA Gymnastics.
Classes in Over the Rainbow are grouped by age and by skill. We know it’s important to have similar ages grouped together (1st – 3rd; and 4th – 6th). The colors of the rainbow are used to distinguish the different skill levels:
Beginning Gymnastics = Red/Orange (1st – 3rd or 4th – 6th)
Intermediate Gymnastics = Yellow/Green (1st – 3rd or 4th – 6th)
Advanced Gymnastics = Blue/Purple (1st – 3rd or 4th – 6th or Open Ages)
Over the Rainbow meets downstairs in the Main Gym which provides 10,000 sq. ft. of kid-friendly, carpeted space. Safety is always #1 at Gym Magic, so students work on in-ground trampolines, in-ground Tumbl Trak and foam-filled pits for that added cushion and safety. You’ll see the same Olympic equipment in the gym as on TV during the Olympics!
Gymnastics is a ‘super sport’!
Strength, flexibility, coordination, agility, self confidence and self esteem, discipline, social skills and school preparedness.
Remember, gymnastics is Fun, but it also provides the foundations of learning. Research has shown the connection between movement and learning. The area of the brain once thought to only control movement has been shown to also be involved in learning, spatial awareness and higher thought. In studies following children from kindergarten through 3rd and 4th grades, the best predictor for success in reading and math was found to be coordination and motor skills. Sound familiar? Yes, that’s why we love gymnastics! Not only is it Fun, it also prepares our students for success in their school work. Now that’s a great combination!!
