American Kids has been Kern County's leader in gymnastics since 1984!  Gymnastics is the basis of all sports for boys and girls due to the broad range of physical activities. It will build overall body strength, increase coordination, agility, flexibility and teach mental focus.  

Boys Gymnastics is offered in 3 levels at the recreational level. 

Level 1 is a fun introduction to rolling, bouncing, twisting and all around movement awaits every child that enters our gym!  From warming up their muscles to going upside down on the rings, they will experience it all!  We focus first on knowledge of the equipment and their comfort level with each event they visit. After introduction to vault, parallel and high bars, pommel horse, rings, floor exercise and trampoline (oh yes, there are trampolines!), they will begin developing body awareness, along with fundamental and foundational skills that apply not only to gymnastics, but all athletics!  Every athlete progresses at different rates and times. For that very reason, there is never any pressure to attain certain skills, advance to another level or try and keep pace with any other participants in their class.  We embrace individuality and celebrate success at all levels!

Levels 2 and 3 offer a progession of skills and difficulty for our students to learn and grow in the sport.

Our curriculum is designed to provide a high energy, non-competitive, achievement-oriented program full of life skills, conditioning and flexibility with lots of fun! Girls have 4 levels of classes which progress is skills and difficulty. All our students start in Level 1 and graduate to the next!

Girls in Level 1 learn all the same exciting events seen at the Olympics, including Floor Exercise, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam, and Vault. They will develop the foundational skills needed for each event, such as body positions, running technique, upper body strength and balance. Students also utilize our Trampolines, Foam Pits, Spring Floors and our vast collection of mat configurations to learn proper gymnastics techniques.

Level 2 students are typically advanced out of our Level 1 classes. Level 2 curriculum emphasizes developing strength and flexibility. Students will be introduced to back bend kick-overs, and working progression to develop a back-handspring. They will run, hurdle onto a spring board, forward roll into the pit on vault. On bars, students will master the pull over mount and other skills that develop strength in the upper body and core. Students will be taught a back hip circle while maintaining a proper hollow body position. Students will learn introductory beam connections, concentrating on body positioning, clean lines, and fluidity.

Level 3 students are ready to take off! Our emphasis is placed on ensuring students continue to develop and maintain excellent form and technique as they begin mastering more advanced skills on all events. Students will demonstrate front and back walkovers and learn a round-off. Students will complete dive rolls and handstand to flat back on vault, while maintaining a tight body position. Students will continue to work their pullovers on bars and will be concentrating on keeping legs together and straight. Back hip circles, double back hip circles, single leg shoot through and mill circles will be mastered in this level.  On balance beam, students will begin to execute handstands, chasses, turns, leaps, and more advanced jumps.

Level 4 is where technical fundamentals, combined with the hard-earned strength and flexibility developed in previous levels, begin to transform into powerful skills and graceful sequences. Students will work on back and front handsprings, aerials, and round-off back handsprings. Students will complete a front handspring on vault, while still concentrating on a tight, hollowed body position throughout. Students will continue to strengthen fundamental bar progressions to help in the process of learning more advanced skills such as kips, clear-hip circles, and flyaways. On beam, focus is on handstands, cartwheel turns, and leaps, adding back walkovers and various mounts and dismounts.
