PSD 70 - Parkland Student Athlete Academy Open House, May 19th 2020, Online 6:30pm
Through the sport of gymnastics, Aerials gymnastics promotes fitness, fun and confidence for the children in our community. We have developed our academy program to enhance athletes of all skill levels. Weather you are new to gymnastics or are already a fully committed athlete to the sport we have a program path for you. Our Academy program is a structured, skill based program, following the XCEL program that is widely used by USA Gymnastics. Athletes will develop exceptional skills in balance, strength, flexibility, coordination, independent work ethic and have the ability to accept corrections.
While academy athletes are learning new gymnastics-based skills, gymnastics is the foundation sport, allowing Athletes to adapt these new skills and apply them to all other sports at an elevated level in comparison to their peers.
For over 35 years we have operated as a non-profit gymnastics club, supporting the athletic needs of our community. Our coaches are NCCP Certified and have the experience and leadership necessary for your child’s success. Your child will exceed their own potential through athlete and leadership development training at Aerials Gymnastics Academy.
