If your child has no previous gymnastics experience or has a hard time following structure, you will want to begin in the lowest level for their age group.

Gymnastics by Jump! at Athena Montessori Academy

Leap Frog Program
Children are likely to become bored if an activity is too easy and frustrated if an activity is too hard. Jump!'s goal is to help children develop a life-long love for movement and physical activity, so children being challenged within their ability level is important to us and we have developed an innovative level system to ensure happy, healthy little gymnasts. The Leap Frog Program takes 100 gymnastics skills and breaks them down into 5 fun and challenging levels. Students receive a take-home skill chart and a t-shirt representing their level. At the completion of a lesson (about every 3 weeks), students will receive a ribbon indicating the skills they have mastered and then place a sticker on their take-home skill chart. The Leap Frog Program ensures that students will feel success early and often and be challenged.

Advancements
When a student completes their chart they will graduate to the next level, regardless of age. Students will receive a new chart, a new t-shirt, and a certificate of achievement. This program is also an excellent introduction to teach students about goal setting. It is a fun, amazing and rewarding journey!
