A Look ahead at girl's classes at Madtown

You might have noticed some changes in your daughter's class lately.  We have started  to prepare for our next gym fest event.  The gym fest will be at the end of March.  If you are new to Madtown, gym fest is a special week where you will be invited to come into the gym and watch your child perform a routine on each of the four events. The four girls events are Vault, Bars, Beam, and Floor.  We have started to work on these routines each week.  In our Madtown girls classes we have a variety of skill levels.  Your child's instructor will modify the routines to fit each child's ability.  If you have any questions regarding your child's progress please feel free to speak with your daughters instructor. 

Girl's classes in the New Year

After enjoying the winter break, the girl's classes are back in full swing. We are already in week 3 of January. This week in girls we will be introducing a new skill called the forward stride circle on the bars. Each week you will see your child work on essential basic skills on each event. In addition this week they will work on a variety of jumps on beam, glides and leg cuts on bars, and back extension rolls down a wedge mat on the floor.

Girls on the Beam

The girl's classes have been working hard on all of the events. The beam is one of the more difficult challenges for many of the girls. We have been working on walking across the beam in a variety of ways. We have been thinking about keeping our core tight and our heads up. We have worked on leaps,turns,levers,jumping,and handstands. As we start to prepare for the girl's showcase event we will start to put these skills together into a routine.

Madtown Girls Class-October Week One

I am amazed in the improvement we are seeing one month into the Fall session. The girls are developing their core strength. This week in the girl's classes we will go over the three gymnastic body positions, Hollow, arched, and straight. Ask your daughter to demonstrate them for you.

On the beam we will be working on a variety of jumps, including the straight, tuck, split and straddle. On Bars we will work on Pull-overs, while on the floor we will concentrate on rolling of all kinds.

These are the focus skills for the week. You will also see us working with your daughter on a variety of other basic gymnastic skills.

Week four of Madtown Girls Gymnastics Classes

The girl's classes are in full swing. We are in week four of classes. The skill of the week is a straddle forward roll. Ask your daughter to show you what it looks like. We are working handstands on the beam, sole circles on bars, and backward tumbling on the floor. In addition to these skills you will see us working a variety of event basics.
