Seven stations. Forty-five minutes. And not a single one of them is free play.
This is what Junior Gym looks like this week — and every station has a real skill hiding underneath it.
Station 1 — Beam: Bunny Hops into Hoops
Side-to-side bunny hops along the black beam, landing in hoops. Balance, rhythm and controlled landings — all dressed up as a jumping game.
Station 2 — Rock Wall + Slide
Climb up, traverse across, slide down. Upper body strength, grip, spatial awareness and a little courage. The slide at the end is the reward — but the wall is the work.
Station 3 — Parallel Bars: Swings
Reach long, push the hips forward, finish behind the bar. That hip drive is the foundation of every swing skill they’ll build from here. It starts here, at four years old.
Station 4 — Single Bar: Inverted Hang
Lift the feet, hold the hang, open to a straddle for the challenge version. Upside down confidence is one of the biggest things we build in this age group — and this is how it starts.
Station 5 — Rings: Back Flip
Tuck up, go upside down, flip backward off the rings. Sounds dramatic. Feels incredible. Builds the spatial awareness and body control that makes every future gymnastics skill easier to learn.
Station 6 — Small Bar: Tuck Hold + 3 Casts
Tuck hold with small swings, then three casts — hips on and off the bar. This is the direct foundation for the pullover. Every four-year-old doing casts this week is a five-year-old doing pullovers next year.
Station 7 — High Bar: Double Rope Hang
Two ropes, knees up into a tuck hold. Grip strength, core activation, body tension — the things that make every other station possible.
Seven stations. One session a week. This is what consistent kids build from.
