What is Gymnastics?

Gymnastics helps all children develop balance, strength, focus, agility, flexibility, and coordination. On top of that, gymnastics also aids with developing listening skills, confidence, self-esteem, and self-regulation. Gymnastics helps the brain’s cognitive functions by incorporating “cross-over” movements which helps the left-brain and right-brain to work together effectively.

In addition to all these core benefits, gymnastics is fun! At Flip City, we believe that gymnastics is a joyful expression of youthful enthusiasm for all ages!!

Gymnastics is a “core” sport, teaching skills that will help your children in any other sport they may try in their lives. Gymnastic skills provide the ability to acquire “general motor skills” which are inherent in many other sports. If these basic movement patterns are not acquired when a child is young, all other learning processes will be much more difficult for them. This is because our brain stores “movement patterns” which our nervous system accesses as we develop.
