YMCA PROGRAMS
Adaptive Gymnastics & Tumbling
"Me and My Shadow" program
Ages 3-7 years. One on one Parent/Aide/Caregiver participation is required. This program has been designed to help children with alternative needs develop gross motor skills, strength, balance, falling safely, jumping, and landing using basic gymnastics skills and equipment. This class will offer some instructional training as well as open time to explore.
Did you know that confidence, hope and possibilities are created for children when they are able to try new things. Through the power of play, physical activity and gymnastics, we are helping children realize their abilities. Our Adaptive programming such as Me and My Shadow uses the sport of gymnastics and focuses primarily on gross motor movements. Understanding that the level of participation varies with each student and their level of physical or cognitive independence. We use the gymnastics apparatus and adapt the skills to each individual and their abilities. Join us in the gymnastics center, where you and your child will have space in a private class time with instruction from Miss Sarah. She is waiting to meet you here on Sundays from 12:50-1:40pm.Sports For All (Adaptive Sports)
