Invitational Girls Recreational Classes

​​Tiny Twisters is the perfect class for 4 and 5-year-old girls who have been participating in our advanced 4/5s classes. They seem to love gymnastics and demonstrate some natural gymnastics ability. We also like to see parental support of their child fully engaging in the gymnastics program. The curriculum is based on Prep 2 & Level 2 recreational lesson plans and is intended to accelerate the child’s progress. Tiny Twisters can advance to Super Twisters. This class requires participation in Skills Meets, Reindeer Games, and Mini-Olympics.​

Super Twisters is for 6 and 7-year-old girls who demonstrate some natural gymnastics ability. Super Twisters are selected from Advanced 5s classes, or from Tiny Twisters. These classes meet 2x per week for 2 hours each time (4 hours per week) – a slight increase in time over the Tiny Twister program. This developmental program helps the child and the parent to decide if your child will move on to our competitive gymnastics programs. This class requires participation in Skills Meets, Reindeer Games, and Mini-Olympics.​

A Message From Our

Girls Recreational Director​

Welcome to our Girls Recreational Program at Discover Gymnastics​!

At Discover Gymnastics, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn these valuable lessons in a fun and supportive environment. Join us and discover the endless possibilities that gymnastics can offer!​

LEVEL PLACEMENT

New athletes are placed based on age, experience, and skill evaluation. Our coaching staff may recommend level adjustments to ensure each gymnast is in the best environment for their success and safety. Some levels may need repetition to provide more time to fully absorb the skill requirements. Each gymnast’s journey through the progression of gymnastics is personal, and that means more time to solidify the physicality and mental confidence to safely advance into the next tier of skills at times. Invitational and Developmental programs are coach-recommended.
