Preschool (2 -4)
Cheernastics is a beginner class for our preschool age athletes. It focuses on teaching the fundamentals needed to excel in tumbling as well as gymnastics in the years to follow. The goal of this class is for them to learn necessary body control skills by teaching them skills such as balancing, rolling, hand eye coordination, and flexibility. In this class they will also be working to build endurance as well as wrist and ankle strength to set them up for long term success!
