Why Toddler Gymnastics at Prestige is a Total Game-Changer!
If you’ve got a toddler bouncing off the walls, we’ve got the perfect spot for them, gymnastics! Starting early sets your kiddo up with skills for life. Gymnastics benefits them in other sports, social skills, cognitive skills, and more, all while they’re having a blast in a safe, fun place. Wondering if it’s right for your little one? Let’s break down why we’re obsessed with toddler gymnastics at Prestige!
How to Keep Athletes Engaged in Class
🔁 1. Keep Things Moving (Minimize Downtime)
We all know this one far too well, don’t we coaches!? Boredom. Boredom is the spark that can turn any gymnastics class into a whole dumpster fire. Kids lose focus when they’re waiting too long. (Hey me too though. If I get bored, I start making bad decisions. I’m doom scrolling away on my phone, or eating a whole bag of chips because there’s nothing better to do.) Use stations, partner work, and circuits to keep everyone active and moving at all times. PRO TIP: Keeping the class moving will not only cut down on boredom and the potential of misbehavior, but you’ll also be utilizing your time more efficiently, therefore leading a more productive class. Kids will be improving, parents will be excited, and your boss will be impressed! PRO TIP #2: If your class is boring, chances are, you’re probably bored too. (& life is too short to be bored, coach.) The more fun they’re having, the more fun you’ll be having!
How to Choose the Right Gymnastics Gym for Your Athlete (& Questions to ask before enrolling!)
So… did your kiddo wake up one morning and decide that their newest life dream was to become a gymnast? Maybe they saw a clip of The Olympics and have been mesmerized ever since? Or perhaps they watched a gymnastics show on Netflix and it has now spiraled into a full-blown obsession? At first, you assume that this is just a phase and it will surely pass. (After all, kids change their minds, right?) Well the weeks go by, and they’re still streaming YouTube videos and begging you to let them go over to the neighbor's house to use their trampoline. You love their passion for trying new things, and their natural desire to move their body and stay active, but admittedly you’re a little hesitant to jump into a new sport because, well, they have already tried soccer, dance, and tee ball- none of which seemed to stick. You wait a few more weeks and this new obsession has turned your couch cushions into their very own spring floor. It seems like what was once your coffee table or kitchen counter, is now doubling as a balance beam and your heart skips a beat with each and every “thud” you hear coming from the other room. You don’t have any gymnastics experience yourself, and you definitely don’t feel confident in your ability to coach them safely at home, so you open up your computer and type into Google, “gymnastics gyms near me.”
