Beginner Gymnastics Classes in North Austin
Gymnastics 101 is our introductory gymnastics class, designed to develop fundamental gymnastics strength, flexibility, and technical skills. The class is open to both boys and girls.
Gymnastics 101 introduces the fundamentals of the sport using the four women's Olympic events: vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. Classes mix a wide range of skills and drills to give our beginning gymnasts a fun and varied experience, while developing the basic movements and strength needed to advance to Gymnastics 201, and on from there to competitive gymnastics.
