What a class actually looks like
Every Beginner 10 Plus class follows the same four-part shape, so you always know what you are walking into.
- 1
Warmup and mobility
A warmup built for taller, stronger bodies, with shoulder and hip mobility work before anything inverted.
- 2
Fundamentals by event
Handstands, bar shapes, beam confidence and vault basics, taught at the level the group is actually at.
- 3
Tumbling progressions
Round-offs, back handspring drills and controlled landings, spotted until they are safe on their own.
- 4
Conditioning and stretch
Strength and flexibility work that closes the gap older beginners usually feel in their first month.
What Beginner 10 Plus is
Starting gymnastics at 10, 11 or 12 is not late, but nobody wants to learn cartwheels next to a group of six year olds. Beginner 10 Plus is the same careful progression, coached at an older kid's pace.
