Does your child have the ability to hop on one leg? How about jumping with both legs simultaneously? And how long can they hold onto a bar?
Engaging in gymnastics fosters the development of coordination, balance, strength, flexibility, mid-line crossing, and gross motor skills.
8 Reasons why gymnastics is great for kids
Apart from the physical and developmental benefits, doing gymnastics is fun, social and incredibly rewarding. Gymnastics is all about teaching children the fundamental movement skills they need to lead a physically active and healthy life full of sport and recreation.
Coordination and Movement Skills
Gymnastics serves as the foundation for all sports, establishing the fundamental skills essential for a variety of athletic and recreational activities.
The Value of Persistence and Effort
Gymnastics instills in young children the importance of perseverance, urging them to attempt and retry even the most basic skills. It’s not always an easy or comfortable journey—in fact, it can be quite daunting at times. Yet, through dedication and effort, children witness their progress. Gymnastics fosters a mindset of “giving it a try” and persisting until mastery is achieved. The joy of attempting, learning, and ultimately being rewarded for their efforts lies at the core of persistence.
Resilience
A gymnast’s journey of falling down and getting back up while striving to master a cartwheel embodies the essence of resilience. This experience cultivates the ability to bounce back swiftly from challenges, building a resilient mindset.
Patience
Inevitably, there will be occasions where another child learns a skill more rapidly or is selected to lead the line for the day. Gymnastics classes provide children with opportunities to encounter such situations, fostering the development and practice of patience.
Self-discipline
Gymnastics classes emphasize the cultivation of self-discipline through various behaviors such as attentive listening, mindfulness towards others, and the demonstration of patience. These qualities are nurtured with careful attention, fostering personal growth within each gymnast.
Co-operation
Young gymnasts develop the skill of seeking assistance from their coach and peers, while also learning to offer help in return. Collaborative problem-solving, mastering new skills, or confronting fears are best accomplished through teamwork and mutual support.
Creativity
Gymnastics allows kids to express themselves creatively through movement.
Ambition
Setting goals and believing that you have the capacity to reach them if you work hard.
Quotes from the famous Nadia Comaneci
“I don’t run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run towards it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your foot”
“It does not matter.”
