Gymbabies

Age: 6 - 10 months
Parent/Caregiver participation: Required

OGC is not currently offering Gymbabies.

This class is an interactive program for Parents/Caregivers and babies. The program is designed to encourage balance, flexibility and strength through movement, motion and exploration, using modified equipment. By increasing these important aspects of development they improve their own kinesthetic  awareness. A great activity for parent and baby! If your baby will be 10 months by the start of the session, you have a choice of either GymBabies or Babynastics. As babies develop at their own rate, choose the one best suited for your child. Whether or not your baby is crawling, there are activities to challenge and motivate. We suggest Babynastics if they are 10 months and walking.

Babynastics

Age: 8 - 15 months
Parent/Caregiver participation: Required

This developmental program introduces babies 10-15 months old, to a variety of basic movement patterns using modified equipment under the careful direction and assistance of a certified coach. Parent/Caregiver and child are guided through gentle exercises using dowels, parachutes, bolsters and songs. Through the session they will be introduced to the concepts of rolling, swinging, bouncing and balancing using specially designed kindergym equipment for this age group. By then end of the session, parents will see their little ones doing front rolls down inclines, crawling through tunnels, swinging on mini-rings, bars and ropes. They will also be gently bounced on our trampolines!

Tall & Small

Age: 12 months - 3 years
Class Duration: 60 minutes
Parent/Caregiver participation: Required
The program is structured for safety and is designed to develop gross motor skills in a safe and fun environment. Circuits and modified apparatus teach children front rolls, swinging, jumping, climbing and walking on balance beams to begin the process of body awareness in physical development. Children will be sliding down inclines, somersaulting, jumping on in-ground trampolines, swinging on rings, bars and ropes. The Tall & Small 2 program is for children 24 months-3 years and is at a slightly faster pace than the Tall & Small 1 class to match the fast paced world of a 2 year old! Our Tall & Small 3 class focuses on gaining independence in the gym to transition to an independent class.

Independent 2

Class Duration: 60 minutes
Parent/Caregiver participation: none

OGC is not currently offering Independent 2yr old classes.

The 2 year old class continues to build on the foundation established in Tall & Small. Children must have participated in at least one Tall & Small 2 session. The Coach will assist the 2 year old's through many basics using the modified equipment, music and circuits. We keep our coach to Athlete ratio small for our 2 year old class so that each child is given plenty of attention and hands on help. If you're not sure if your child is ready for a 2 year old class, please don't hesitate to ask your Tall & Small coach!

Independent 3

Class Duration: 60 minutes
Parent/Caregiver participation: none

The 3 year old class is a 1 hour class where children start to improve their level of basics through the use of circuits and stations. Overall co-ordination is developed in this class using landings off blocks, inverted skills on rings and bars, somersaults on the balance beam and various jumping elements on trampoline. We try to expose our little ones to each piece of both boys and girls apparatus to help develop self awareness, coordination and self esteem. At least one session in a Tall & Small class is required prior to joining Independent 3.

Independent 4

Class Duration: 60 minutes
Parent/Caregiver participation: none

Focus for this class is on Fun and developing the skills necessary to move forward into the Recreation Program (5+ years). Fundamentals in the sport continue to develop strength, balance and self-confidence. These children begin learning bridges, cartwheel progression and continue to develop basic elements on all apparatus.

Totally Trampoline

Class Duration: 45 minutes
Parent/Caregiver participation: none

OGC is not currently offering Totally Trampoline.

If you have a "jumping bean", this class is for you! Children will be guided through trampoline basics and will be given the opportunity for more trampoline skill development. Children will use the Trampoline, mini-trampoline, mini-tumble track and other activities to help them progress further on this apparatus. This class is a great add on to our 4 year old class.
