The sport of gymnastics requires a
great amount of discipline and determination. We believe it is extremely
important to develop and help to instill these attributes in young
gymnasts as early as possible.
The PreCompetitive Program is
designed to prepare young gymnasts for future competition by emphasizing
strong basic fundamentals, strength, flexibility, discipline and
respect for the sport. Gymnasts are hand selected for this program based
on their attitude, work ethic, desire, gymnastics skills, strength and
flexibility.
PreCompetitive gymnasts at Motion Matrix are
provided with a challenging, disciplined environment to further build
their abilities with other gymnasts who share similar potential and
desire. Training will maintain a balance of seriousness and fun, and the
entire experience will be extremely enjoyable for children who are
passionate about the sport!
In addition, Motion Matrix prides
itself on teaching correct gymnastics technique. It is vital for
long-term success. All gymnasts will learn gymnastics safely through
proper skill progressions, strength and flexibility training, as well as
necessary mental preparation.
Hot Shots (ages 3 to 5 invitation only)
Hot Shots was specifically designed to meet the needs and
challenges of our young gymnasts who have demonstrated great body
awareness, control, strength and listening skills. There are very
specific goals that we are focused on achieving. Children in this
program have been hand selected by a member of our staff for their
skills, determination & personality. This group is expected to
participate in our community exhibitions, allowing them to showcase
their talents and promote the program. This class meets 2 days per week for 1 each day and requires the purchase of exhibition attire.
Mini Matrix (5-8 years old by invitation only)
Pre-Team Matrix (6+ by invitation only)
Gymnasts at this
level must make the decision whether to continue their gymnastics career
as a member of our competitive team (if invited), or to remain in the
non-competitive level. They will be prepared for competition,
with the main focuses being shape training, mastering core skills,
increasing strength and flexibility, and endurance. In addition to
preparing the gymnasts physically, we strongly believe in training them
to cope with the inevitable mental adversities they will face in
gymnastics that may include, fear, doubt and struggle, while building a
foundation of confidence and pride in accomplishment. Teamwork and
respect for fellow teammates is also emphasized. Curriculum will be
based on Junior Olympic Levels 1, 2, & 3 progressions. This class meets 2 days per week for 1.5 hours (3 hours total per week) and requires the purchase of exhibition attire.
