The
Newport County YMCA gymnastics program follows the guidelines
of the U.S.A. Gymnastics Junior Olympic Program. The YMCA
offers a full youth gymnastics program-from preschool
level up to boys and girls competitive teams.
The goal of the YMCA is to help
each child build self-confidence, develop coordination
and strength, and create a positive self-image. To help
each child achieve their highest potential, proper skill
progressions are used and safety is our number one concern.
Your child will receive lasting benefits from participation
in this program, whether he or she reaches advanced
levels or uses their acquired skills in other sporting
activities.
How
quickly your child will progress through the levels
depends upon their age, strength, flexibility, body
type, and determination. Your child will be regularly
reviewed by an ongoing evaluation program, which allows
students to advance to the next level when they are
ready. We encourage you to keep up with your child's
progress. Our fully equipped YMCA gymnasium includes
3 sets of uneven bars, 1 single bar over a resi-pit,
6 balance beams, the new vault table as well as the
old vaulting horse, a 40" x 40" regulation
spring floor with the ability to tumble into the resi-pit.
We also have all required equipment to run our new boys
program.
* We also have Family and Kids Gym programs
on our Family section...
