Gymnastics is the perfect way for children to learn about their physical selves.  We sincerely believe that a good gymnastics class will instill a love for physical activity that will last a life time.   We had a turning point in 2005.  After years of effort and research we incorporated our one of a kind “Ribbon System.”   It was developed in order to better track our students’ progress and give them concrete goals to reach toward.  The system also serves to teach kids to encourage each other and enjoy the successes of others.  It is our goal for the students to learn how to work toward a goal and feel great when it is accomplished.  Another great benefit of our “Ribbon System” is that whenever mom or dad want to know how their child is doing we simply pull out the book and show mom and dad exactly where their child is at and what they need to do to pass to the next level.  Our “Ribbon System” is extremely parent friendly and we are sincerely proud of it.

KEY POINTS of our “Ribbon System”

Our curriculum is designed for a student to be able to pass in approximately one year.  Do not be alarmed if they take a little longer, especially at the intermediate and advanced levels.

Students do not receive ribbons every week.  In fact, some skills may take months to pass.  This can sometimes cause frustration for a student.  Encourage your child not to give up, they will learn it, and they will feel the satisfaction of achieving a difficult goal.

Each student has a skill sheet that we use to track their progress.  If you ever have a question concerning your child’s progress, or just want to see how he or she is doing, we simply pull out his or her sheet and show it to you.  All teachers have a ten minute window between classes and are available for questions.

There are nine ribbon skills per level.  Once a student passes all nine ribbon skills they are presented with a medal and have their picture taken which is placed on our bulletin board.  Once a level is passed the student may sign up for the next level the following session.  

We will move a child to the next level if they have passed eight of nine ribbons.  They will not receive a medal until they have passed that ninth ribbon.

We do not move children up in the middle of a session.  If your child has passed all the ribbon skills they will begin to work on the next level skills while at the same time continuing to improve on the current level skills.  Gymnastics is a sport of repetition.  Even our top competitive athletes practice the basics.

We encourage you to consider signing up for a second class.  Students will learn faster when repeating the skills twice as often.  We give an awesome price break for the same student signing up for a second gymnastics class.

KEEP YOUR EARS OPEN FOR THE BELL.  It means a student passed a ribbon skill or has achieved a skill that required a lot of hard work.  If a student rings the bell they can, but are not required, to show the whole gym.  Everyone cheers when we get a bell ringer.

As part of our latest customer survey we asked two simple questions.  Did your child have Fun?  Did your child learn?  Both questions were answered above a 9.5 out of a ten point system.  Just because all of our programs score extremely high in our custormer surveys you can be assured that our managers, instructors, and front desk staff will always strive to make our programs better and
better.
