Age 6 years and up
Ruby Gymnastics Academy has many classes for children age six years and older. We offer three levels of advancement in recreational gymnastics. If your child has experience in gymnastics, please give us a call so that your child may be evaluated. We do not want your child to be bored as well as frustrated if they are in the wrong level. Advancing to the next level is determined by our testing 3 times a year, participating in our two fun meets for recreational gymnasts or signing up for a testing. The recreation classes will learn routines for our fun meets, along with learning skills they will also gain some dance skills. Our ratio: 8-1
Spinel is a beginner gymnastics class that introduces foundation skills to children like balance, flexibility and strength. This is a perfect class for kids that want to give gymnastics a try on all four events. (Level 1)
Tanzanite is a advanced beginner gymnastics class for gymnasts that already have some gymnastics experience. If your child is already whipping out cartwheels but not quite ready for the next level, this may be the class for you! (Levels 1-2)
Topaz is for gymnasts that have at least one year experience doing gymnastics. This class focuses on getting stronger, more flexible and learning to take risks by doing more advanced skills. Gymnasts are introduced to drills and different training tools. This is the first level that they are able to try out for team at the start of summer, if you and your gymnast want to pursue that avenue. (Level 2)
Alexandrite is for the advanced gymnast that needs a bit more intensive class time! This class is for those kids that want to learn more complex routines and skills like back walkovers and front hip circles. This class also introduces back handsprings! They are also able to try out for a spot on our 2 teams thru the team tryouts. (Level 3)
Diamond is a class that focuses on power tumbling. Gymnasts learn to do back handsprings, back tucks, layouts and even twists! Training consists of creative drills, conditioning and use of the trampoline, tumble trak, and the air pit. Sadly right now this class is not open to join.
RUBY TEAM is for kids that have advanced through the previous classes and would like to do gymnastics on a competitive level. We offer classes from Levels 3-5 as compulsory routines (all gymnasts do the same routine) and Levels 7-10 as optional routines (gymnasts have unique routines). These classes are by invitation only. We also offer a option of joining our Xcel Team.
