In September, fall gymnastics started back in most areas. We found out about a different program in Worland. Both girls are able to participate in this program and there are more rotations, more to learn, more coaches and more children participating.
Also, you have to wear leotards. Sparkly leotards. What’s not to love??
The girls have had a GREAT time. The uneven bars remain the favorite rotation during the evening. We’ve been to five sessions and each time the girls do something different.
Clara was SO excited that she was finally able to participate in SOMETHING.
Ruby’s session is first and lasts for an hour. Clara sits patiently, watches and gets to play educational apps on our family Kindle. After Ruby is finished, Clara’s preschool class starts and Ruby then plays the Kindle. Clara’s class is 30 minutes long.
Ruby’s class started with twenty girls for the first two sessions. The coaches split the class to 11-12 girls. Clara’s class has 9-10 three and four year olds. Both classes start with a warm up time of stretches, a dance, and more stretches. Then the class is split into different rotations. The preschool coaches do a FABULOUS job of keeping them moving and they have NO down time.
Older girls from the traveling competition team are the helpers during the sessions. They help lead the rotations, show examples, and help the little ones in form, etc.
So far, we have been very, very pleased with the program.
