Rainbow Gymnastics is a Novice Fitness Foundation environment. Children are introduced to activities that will enhance confidence at an early age. Where most structured activities accept students at age five (5) and older, RGA begins as early as 20 months! Daily lesson plans include obstacle courses and developmental stations fully equipped for the safety of the child. Group activities will enhance social skills, motor development, and hand-eye coordination. Basic gymnastics fundamentals include vaulting, uneven bars, balance beam, tumbling, trampoline, athletic training, and core conditioning, as well as, all-around flexibility are the core events introduced.

The novice student participates in a non-competitive environment. Under careful supervision, RGA coaches will monitor individual progress through charts and lesson plans geared towards success. If a child is allowed the necessary time to become proficient with an activity, he/she will gain strength and confidence in performing on any event. Upon completing novice progressions, RGA will invite athletes to advance to the intermediate/advanced levels of gymnastics. Invitation letters will be sent home for parental review.

Prior to enrollment, we highly recommend that you and your child come and visit the facility. If your child is interested in participating, RGA offers a free introductory lesson. It is preferred that students attend a trial lesson, a class which your child can attend on a regular basis when enrolling. Enroll in RGA is continuious, but limited to class size. To schedule a trial lesson, please contact us or visit our facility.

Gymnastics Fitness Foundations are lessons based on progression and repetition. As the student is exposed to six activities daily emphasis on building areas will take time and commitment. HOW LUCKY WE ARE to allow keiki to participate in an activity doing things they love to do like running, jumping, swinging, climbing, and tumbling. If they are doing these activities for a sustained length of time, it can lead to improved fitness, strength and endurance. RGA programs offers a wide range of class times and levels up to three (3) times a week. As a parent, the investment is “lifetime fitness” as children will have fond memories of physical education with RGA. Future desire to stay physically fit will become a lifestyle as any activity is pursued and accomplished while challenged with exercises that are geared to build gross motor skills, learning comprehension in a fun and energetic environment… Making fitness fun!
