Why Gymnastics

Many people never consider gymnastics when looking for a recreational activity for their children. Here are some reasons why you might.

  • A NASA study showed that gymnasts have highly developed "vestibular mechanisms" which increase general learning, (academic as well as physical).
  • Gymnastics is the only sport that works total body strength, flexibility and aerobic development.
  • Gymnastics is the only sport that trains the body using all three of the spatial axes which develops the vestibular mechanism.
  • Gymnastics enhances gross motor skills.
  • Self-discipline is developed due to the very nature of the sport.
  • Self-confidence is built through individualized goals and accomplishments.
  • For any other sport, gymnastics is a way of developing strength and giving athletes that "added edge".
  • Early training results in increased kinesthetic awareness.
