| Amherstburg Wildcat Gymnastics |
|
Amherstburg Wildcat Gymnastics programming has been made possible through the Youth in Community Fund by the Essex Power Corporation and the Government of Ontario. Programs are divided into 4 age specific levels that introduce children to the physical literacy of the sport. At each stage, skills will be taught and built-upon.
Lynx - Parent and Tot Children will learn through play. Fun and safety are the main aspects. This level teaches the basic concepts of balance, gross motor skills, muscle and body control and strength. Running, hanging, jumping, twisting and rolling are taught through games, obstacle courses and stretching. Parent involvement is required in this class Ages 2-4
Cougar Students will move towards activities that lean more into gymnastics exercises such as landings, leaping, swinging, locomotion and climbing. Ages 4-7
Leopard Agility, flexibility, and strength are the dominant focus in this level. Great emphasis is put on swinging, landing and previously learned skills. At this level students begin to learn somersaults, cartwheels and inversions. Learning is done through games to keep classes fun and engaging. Ages 6-8
Tiger While gymnastics basics are always reviewed and applied, balance, leaping, landing strength, locomotion, flexibility and agility all come together and are fine-tuned. By this stage a student's awareness of themselves physically and mentally is essential. More advanced gymnastics skills, movements and abilities are taught. The more basic movements can be performed independantly while a coach observes rather than assisting. Students will come to learn handstands, forward and backward rolls, front and back walkovers, running round-offs, handsprings, aerials and front and back hip circles on the bars. Ages 8-12
