Kids Love Being Active With Turnersville NJ Kids Gym Programs

By John Davis


Participating in a gymnastics class is much more than performing a few simple tricks. It is also learning how to be part of a larger group of children with similar goals. They learn that other children are as important as they are. Joining one of the classes for toddlers at Turnersville NJ Childrens Gymnastics allows them to learn the importance of following rules and how much fun it is to be in the company of other children.

Parents have the fun of watching as their own child makes those first attempts to do the front somersault. The goal at this early age is the ability to try to do it. No one is expecting a perfect performance. No one is made to feel incompetent as long as they continue to try.

Class is an introduction to the atmosphere of a gym and the activities it provides. No child is happy sitting still or being quiet. Toddlers are encouraged to express themselves and enjoy all the physical and often noisy fun.

One piece of equipment is the balance beam. It is a board that is four inches wide. It is raised high above the floor in competitive events. The one in the toddlers class is little more than floor level. Each child is encouraged to walk from one end to the other. If they wish, a parent or the instructor will hold their hand on the first few tries. It is a good lesson in balance.

The child's safety is always the major consideration. For one thing, the first attempts at doing a somersault is done on a rubber mat that is rolled out on the hard wooden floor of the gym. The backward somersault is a skill learned a little later on in most cases.

As classes continue over time, it becomes apparent that some possess the natural aptitude for performing the tricks. However, no child is ever made to feel that he is anything but successful at the class he is performing in. Competition comes only when they are older.
