Mighty Munchkins is our first independent class for our 3 year old gymnasts. This class is designed to be a small group of children who are learning to work with their coach (without parent support). Children learn basic body positions such as a straight body, tuck, straddle, etc and work locomotor skills such as running, hopping, and galloping, etc. Balance beam skills include walking forward, sideways, and backwards, kick steps, dip steps, and releve walks. Floor skills consist of log rolls, forward rolls, backward rolls, straddle rolls, etc. and progressions leading up to those beautiful cartwheels and handstands. Bars skills consist of front supports, hangs (pike, straddle, tuck), pull-overs, forward rolls on the bar and casting. Vaulting skills include running and learning proper springboard usage. We work on different jumps (tuck, straddle, pike, split), drops (seat, doggy, etc) and turns on our trampolines and tumbletrack.
