Gymnastics is recognized by the International Olympic Committee as a Foundation Sport.  Participation in gymnastics develops fundamental movement skills, physical and motor abilities, mental abilities, social and emotional abilities and performance skills that carry over into all aspects of life.

Gymnastics is the perfect activity for the development of physical literacy, the benefits of which go far beyond sport participation.

“Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life”

-The International Physical Literacy Association, May 2014

Whether you continue with gymnastics participation long-term or transfer to another sport, the foundations learned in gymnastics will enable you to live a healthy, active lifestyle, and enjoy a variety of movement activities.  Gymnastics is for life!
