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

• Gymnastics is the only sport that works total body strength, flexibility and aerobic development.
• 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.
• A NASA study showed that gymnasts have highly developed "vestibular mechanisms" which increase general learning, (academic as well as physical).
