Youth Gymnastics

Youth Gymnastics at Mt. Magnolia Academy

Our Youth Gymnastics Program is designed for athletes ages 4–12 and focuses on progressive skill development across all four Olympic apparatuses — vault, bars, beam, and floor. Classes are taught in a safe, supportive environment by experienced coaches who help students build strength, coordination, and confidence while having fun.

Athletes are placed in levels based on both age and skill, ensuring that every child is appropriately challenged and can advance at their own pace.

Gymnastics Level 1

Level 1 introduces fundamental gymnastics skills while developing balance, strength, and flexibility. Students will learn:

Vault: Stretch jump onto the mat, kick to handstand, and fall to flat back.
Uneven Bars: Pullover, cast, back hip circle, underswing, and sole circle dismount.
Floor: Cartwheel, ¾ handstand, forward roll, backward roll, and split jump (30° separation).
