Texas East Gymnastics Academy
What is Gymnastics Academy at TEG?
TEG’s Gymnastics Academy is a gymnastics program for 3 and 4 year old boys and girls who love to roll, flip, cartwheel, sing, explore, create, count and read! Gymnastics Academy students will come two or four times a week for 31/2 hours each day and be immersed in gymnastics, motor skills, sensory circuits, music, 123’s and ABC’s.
Gymnastics Academy lessons and objectives will match and highlight the importance of sensory integration and processing for each child. These types of sensory (touch & movement), proprioceptive (understanding body in space) and vestibular (balance & coordination) activities make up the base of the pyramid of learning and once mastered point straight up to cognitive learning for school! In other words…gymnastics is the foundation for how children understand themselves and the world and get set for school!
Why Does Movement Matter?
Science continues to show by combining gymnastics, academics, and motor development children learn at an accelerated rate. After 55+ years of experience, Texas East Gymnastics agrees! Research proves that the brain needs physical and motor development in order to build strong brain connections necessary for higher learning.
Balance, bilateral movements (jumping jacks, wheelbarrow walks, hopping), crossing the midline (crawling, throwing, catching), strengthening the core, increasing fine motor strength, and developing the vestibular and proprioceptive systems happen every day in our gymnastics classes!
TEG is convinced that there is no better way to solidify academic concepts than when neurological pathways are being created and strengthened through the purposeful, planned, and playful activities every day at TEG’s Gymnastics Academy!
Our Goals
Developing the “I CAN” mindset!
It is our desire to instill in children an I CAN attitude that will lead to success in all aspects of life. TEG’s Gymnastics Academy will instill this “I Can” mindset by positively encouraging every child and challenging them to explore new, fun activities every day.
Our Gymnastics Academy classes will include instruction on vault, bars, beam, floor and trampoline. These rotations will develop physical strength, coordination, and confidence that naturally lead to an “I Can” mindset. Additionally, children will have the opportunity to move through sensory circuits, and experience simple music stations. These activities will also prove to be beneficial for every child’s confidence, ability to take healthy risks, follow directions, build friendships and grow both mentally and physically.
Gymnastics Academy helps each child become the most confident and courageous version of themselves with an “I Can” mindset ready to take on the world…..
