Bringing Youth Gymnastics Classes to Ventura and Los Angeles Counties for Over 30 Years

Why gymnastics?

• Gymnastics is a broad motion sport that exposes the body to a variety of different motions and positions. The benefit of this is that the athlete builds strength and flexibility across the entire body.

• Gymnasts train their balance and body awareness and tend to get fewer injuries in everyday play because they are taught very early how to fall.

• Gymnasts do well in school. The focus and discipline skills that are part of every practice tends to transfer to academic studies.

• Gymnasts are confident. Practicing and achieving higher athletic skills gives the athlete a sense of well deserved accomplishment.

• Gymnasts learn to persevere. Everyone has failed at some point in their lives whether they have a career in sports or a Fortune 500 company. Gymnasts learn to persevere, push past the failure and accomplish their goals. 

• Gymnasts are patient. Some gymnastics skills are more difficult than others and require more time to master. A gymnast learns that given time and effort they can get the skills that they want.
