...is the best sport for developing strength, coordination, flexibility, and just plain having fun! It's great preparation for any other sport a child may participate in.
The benefits of gymnastics are best recognized and appreciated when a child participates in a class over a period of time, as many of the skills are progressive and require strength that develops with practice.

Tumble Bugs
Gymnastics Starts Here
The TumbleBugs Program is for children ages 18 months to 5 years.
In Me and My Buddy classes children can begin as young as 18 months, side by side with a parent, to enjoy being in the gym. Parents and tots together work on following the coaches instructions and activity circuits.
Three year olds attend class with a coach as they focus more on listening skills and following directions while they are kept moving.
Four year olds follow an age appropriate curriculum which means that they get a little more skill specific while still working on social interaction.
The Five year old class is even more skill oriented and less 'general movement'. Kids will learn to cooperate and work together.
The emphasis is on learning as well as FUN! Our highly trained staff will focus on developing balance, coordination, muscle development, and locomotor skills.
But wait, it gets better!
Not only will your child benefit physically, but with our creative and colorful lesson plans students will learn shapes, colors, numbers, letters, and much, much more.
Me and My Buddy classes are 45 minutes long andTumbleBug classes run 50 minutes in length, both meet once a week.

This class is for children that can function independently from their parents. Activities include the same equipment as the Me/Buddy class, however more skills are introduced and a greater focus is placed on basic gymnastics.

Determine which Gym Stars Level
How do I know what class my child should be in?
Here at A.N.A. we have two primary determining factors in creating the best learning experience. One is age, and the other is previous experience. We have 2 age groups: 6-8 years, and 9-12 years, with 6 distinct levels of ability and experience. Use the following information as a guide:
Level 1- Less than 1 full year of previous gymnastics (6-8 year olds only)
Level 2- More than 1 full year of previous gymnastics, excluding preschool classes
Level 3- Two full years of previous gymnastics
Level 4- Must be 8 or older and have 3 full years of gymnastics
Level 5 & 6- Must be evaluated
