That means our annual G.USA Olympics event is coming up on May 17th. Be sure to mark your calendars! If you are enrolled in classes, you are automatically enrolled into the G.USA Olympics, as it is a part of our recreational program. There is an additional charge for the event which is spread out over 3 cycles. You can opt-out of this event, but it is highly discouraged as your child will be missing out on the most important event of their program! You don’t want to miss out!

Gymnastics Tip of the Month
BUILDING CONFIDENCE THROUGH SMALL WINS
One of the most powerful aspects of gymnastics is how it helps children build confidence—one move at a time. Whether your child is mastering a cartwheel, learning to stick a landing, or just improving their form, remember that each small victory is a big step in their overall development. Encourage your gymnast to celebrate every achievement, no matter how small! Don’t forget to keep track of what your student learns in class each week via their achievement maps! www.gymnasticsusa.us/achievement-map
TIPS TO HELP BOOST CONFIDENCE
Positive Reinforcement: Celebrate effort, not just results.
Set Achievable Goals: Help your child set small, specific goals that are attainable.
Practice at Home: Keep practicing those key skills like handstands or forward rolls in a safe space to build consistency.
May this new year be filled with joy, love, and plenty of gymnastic tumbles (safely, of course)! Thank you for your continued trust in our team. We can’t wait to see what the new year has in store for our gymnasts. Keep up the great work, you’re all stars in my eyes!
