Flip-Tastic Fun & Fit Program
for Girls Ages 5 & Up
EnVision's certified instructors use safe and progressive methods of teaching gymnastics. To better motivate both students and parents, we are excited to introduce the Fun & Fit Gymnastics Program Curriculum Poster Reward System for our Flip-Tastics students!
The Fun & Fit Gymnastics Program is based upon USAG progressions (which we have always used in our gymnastics programs) and is a nationally recognized teaching system used by gyms all over the country. It is very popular with kids and parents. The kids love getting the stars, certificates and pictures with their instructors. Parents love seeing how the program not only teaches gymnastics, but increases self confidence, self-esteem and gives their children valuable goal setting skills.
All children will receive a poster to take home and put on their wall. The poster contains skills that are appropriate for your child's ability level, and match a curriculum card that the instructors have. The skills at each level have been broken down into achievable steps, so that children learn quickly and experience success often.
Every month there will be card check-off day where the kids get to perform the new skills they have been learning. When the student performs a skill correctly 3 times in a row for their instructor, they get that skill checked off on their curriculum card. The next week all students will be given stars for the skills they passed to take home and put on their poster!
By providing clear goals for each student, this non-competitive teaching system helps students to define success as self-improvement! Without having to compare themselves to others in their class to assess how they are doing, the student can all feel like winners!
Flip-Tastics participants are grouped according to age and skill level. Classes include a warm-up period during which gross motor skills, body positions, and flexibility are worked. The instructors perform their Power Chats during flexibility exercises to reinforce our Character Development themes and relate them to our gymnastics lesson plans. Students then rotate to several of the Olympic gymnastics events including vault, uneven bars, balance beam, floor exercise, plus trampoline, dance, and conditioning. Student/teacher ratios are kept as small as possible. Students who wish to advance faster are encouraged to take 2 classes per week.
