TIGERS 9+ YRS

Skill-building, body awareness, and just the right challenge

Tigers 9+ is for older beginners who are ready to fine-tune their movement, challenge themselves (just the right amount), and explore gymnastics skills in a fun, encouraging space. In each 60-minute class, gymnasts rotate through stations like bars, beam, floor, and vault — working on things like roundoffs, back hip circles, leaps, and bridge kickovers with coaches who meet them where they are.

​

It’s a great fit for kids who want to move with more control, build strength and coordination, and feel proud of the progress they’re making every week.

​

Classes are open to all genders and led by USAG-certified coaches in an all-bodies-welcome environment.

​

Beginner = fewer than 3 full Tigers sessions.

Winter Session Registration Dates:

​

Priority Registration (for currently registered families): October 13th - 20th

What To Expect:

Dynamic Warm-Up & Stretch

Each class kicks off with a high-energy warm-up and targeted stretches to prep the body for gymnastics work. Coaches introduce core shapes, alignment, and activation drills to build strength and flexibility.

Skill Stations:

Bars, Beam, and Trampoline/Floor

Gymnasts rotate through 3–4 event-based stations (Bars, Beam, Floor/Trampoline, and Vault) with a skill progression focus. Drills are tailored by level, with gymnasts working independently or in small groups while coaches provide individualized instruction and layered challenges. Emphasis is placed on execution, form, and connecting skills as gymnasts grow.

Wrap-Up & Reflection

Every class ends with a cool-down and brief reflection. Gymnasts share their experiences and receive constructive feedback from coaches, celebrating progress with fun rewards that spark excitement for the next session.

Here's How It Works:

​

Gymnasts will embark on a journey of mini-workouts designed to be completed comfortably in approximately 10 minutes each. There's no need to rush; take your time and enjoy the process.

​

After you've successfully completed each workout, simply mark it off on our tracker. Once you've accomplished three workouts every week, for a total of four weeks, submit your tracker to our front desk at the end of the month.

​

As a token of your accomplishment, you'll be awarded a special achievement band! But that's not all – you have the opportunity to collect all ten dazzling colors from September to June.
