Gymnastics for Strength and Confidence
Gymnastics is an excellent sport for kids looking to build strength, balance, confidence, and discipline, all of which enhance performance in other athletic activities. At Midwest Training & Ice Center, our recreational gymnastics program focuses on fun, fitness, and fundamentals, providing structured training on bars, balance beam, vault, floor, rings, and parallel bars. We emphasize safe, progressive skill development, ensuring that each student advances at their own pace while building a positive self-image and confidence. Our classes follow USA Gymnastics' Skill Level foundation, with structured requirements for each level, creating a supportive and rewarding learning experience for every gymnast.

Women's Gymnastics Events
A successful vault begins with a strong, accelerated run. The best vaulters explode off the board with tremendous quickness during the preflight phase of the vault. When the gymnast pushes off the vault table, the judges are looking for proper body position and an instantaneous repulsion. Watch for the height and distance traveled, as well as the number of flips and twists. Gymnasts strive to “stick” their landings by taking no extra steps.
Boys/Mens Gymnastics
In addition to our co-ed preschool gym classes, we also offer a designated Boys Preschool & Boys Homeschool Gymnastics class. Students learn skills for all six events within the Boys Gymnastics program. This class is one hour long and meets once a week.
Floor routines consist of dynamic tumbling skills. The best gymnasts will incorporate tumbling passes with multiple twisting and flipping, both forward and backward, throughout their routine. A gymnast must show power and control on this event.
