Thank you! I agree- so do most US classes continue over summer with the same hours? Here our gym has a 8 week break, where they offer recreational camps.
Thank you for your reply! This is what if prefer, but I called last year and having children come for 6 weeks wasn’t something they were interested in. I’m sure it disrupts the normal team dynamics, so it’s hard to find.
I’m looking for ideas in US for girl summer camps. I’d prefer all-day camp (no sleep over) and especially if they have consecutive weeks.
Specifically looking for a 7 yr old that is probably somewhere between a L2 and L3. And it would be great if they had something recreational for a 5 yr old...
If Germany isn’t too far, maybe reach out to Gymfinity international in Kaiserslautern, Germany https://www.gymfinityinternational.com/. They offer summer day camps every year.
It really rubs the gambit: from not doing the drills independently (ex if the drill is to elephant walk across obstacles, she’ll run it as fast as she can and try some wierd movement at the end), wanting to hold the teacher’s hand while transitioning or sit in her lap/next to the teacher while...
What are the minimum team requirements for at your gyms?
I have a 5 year old that I believe is between preterm and team and I’m debating if I should have her tryout for team, which is a combined level 2 & 3 and 9 hours a week. Preterm is only 3 hours.
She needs more than 3 but behaviourally...
I am curious about cartwheels. My kiddo has been able to do a cartwheel in a straight line for a year and beam since she was 3. But now she is starting to learn the cartwheel in a step kick lunge way and it’s somewhat confusing to me (and her). Did the baby fast one not count and why wasn’t she...
That is also great advice I hadn’t thought about. It’s interesting because I believe it’s a sensory thing along with impulse control. So she gets excited and then flips around. Especially when she is waiting or in a pair and waiting her turn. It’s like she just can’t contain herself from...
I meant to add that I thought I could compensate by working with her at home (she listens to me but not coaches) and it’s quiet. But I’m finding my abilities aren’t there and I’m not sure if random YouTube videos help or hurt.
Thank you so much for that advice!!! There are a few gyms around and I had her in a different one over summer due to scheduling. I pulled her after 4 classes when she showed me they were doing kick overs (she demonstrated at home to my shock). I probably over reacted but this child is absolutely...
That is great advise and makes me feel better that I’m in the right course. She swims 3 times a week, but not in a class. She can’t start the Red Cross lessons until she turns 6, so she swims 7-10 lengths, works on a few skills and then plays the rest of the time. I suppose I’m the teacher for...
