JOHN PANCOTT Gymnastics Center

2010 - 2011 POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Gymnastics is one of the most fundamental and exciting of all physical activities. Basic gymnastic skills develop attributes that are perfect stepping stones for other sports and activities. Through proper instruction, children show progress in many key developmental areas - strength, flexibility, body awareness, coordination, confidence, creativity and fun. Our purpose is to provide a happy and safe learning experience for children of all abilities in fundamental movement and basic gymnastics. We help children experience mental acuity as well as physical aptitude.
