Gymnastics - Preschool, Youth And Team
At the Andover/North Andover Branch we offer gymnastics classes for children ages 13 months through kindergarten. For the youngest, classes include parents. Beginning at age 3, we start classes just for children. Classes are led by qualified instructors, directing activites on equipment such as ladders, tunnels, balance beams, bars, slides and more.
Parent/Child Gym Classes (ages 13-22 months)
Parent/Child Gym Classes (ages 23-36 months)
These classes are guided by an instructor, and parents assist their children in group activities, exercises and free play. Emphasis is on developing locomotor skills and hand-eye coordination.
Me & My Shadow (ages 2.5 to 3.5 years)
Designed for children who are ready for more structure and skill advancement, but not quite ready to be by themselves. It follows the pre-movement format with the adult assisting the children through the activities. Adult participation is required.
Me & My Pal (ages 3.5 to 4.5)
Parents and children will enjoy running, jumping, tumbling, climbing, sports and games. After class, your and your child can enjoy a swim during All Member Recreational swim in the teaching pool.
Gym & Swim (ages 3 & 4)
This parent/child class starts in the gymnasium where children will enjoy tumbling, swinging, climbing, and introduction to basic gymnastic skills -- then it's off to free swim time.
