Toddler Gymnastics

As a parent of a young child, it is important to register your child for programs that will help them grow socially, mentally and physically.  Challenge Athletics offers toddler gymnastics classes that will help your child grow in every way, in a fun environment that they will look forward to every week!  For children ages 1-4, they get to participate in tumbling classes with an adult.  Not only will your child enjoy these toddler gymnastics classes, but so will you.

Toddler gymnastics classes at Challenge Athletics are a great way for your child to learn to interact with others of the same age.  It can also be a great place for you to meet other parents that can relate to you.  Life long friends can be made at Challenge Athletics!  For many children, these classes may be their first experience learning to take directions from an adult other than a parent.  The parent and child classes will help ease that transition and help toddlers learn important social skills, such as waiting in line.  

When children are younger, they are growing and soaking up knowledge at a fast pace.  Toddler gymnastics classes can help their bodies develop the motor skills and muscle memory that can improve their coordination.  This can help your child’s reflexes and balance, that could help prevent injuries.  Toddler gymnastics can be very beneficial to children that may be struggling physically to develop these important life skills.  Our classes provide an environment where children can learn and practice these skills in a matted gym with equipment that can keep them safe and help them understand the movements.  During these tumbling classes children will get us trampolines, harnesses, airtracks, tumble tracks, mats, and our large foam pit!

Learning motor skills and muscle memory at a young age through toddler gymnastics can also lead to gaining a lot of strength and flexibility.  The repetition of stretching can help improve flexibility and can be very beneficial in all other sports, particularly dance and cheerleading.  Being able to hold your own body weight upside down and jumping high is necessary to tumble.  In addition to being a great tumbler, this strength can help children grow into a successful athlete in all other sports.

Challenge Athletics offers toddler gymnastics classes for ages 1-4 with an adult.  For children 3 ½ -6, we offer toddler gymnastics classes where they can participate without an adult.  Our toddler classes are 45 minutes long.  We require a yearly membership fee. Discounts are offered for students coming multiple times a week and siblings.  During the summer we also offer a Mini Camp for ages 4-7.  Space is limited, call now to register!
