Acrobatics

Acrobatics training teaches flexibility, balance, strength, muscle control, discipline and concentration as well as spatial awareness.   The high degree of discipline and concentration required for acrobatics carries over to many aspects of a student’s life, including academics and other athletic performance.   Acrobatics provides the foundations for further gymnastic skills but most importantly it shares in the benefits of working within a team environment. It:

• Enhances balance, coordination, and agility
• Develops posture and confident body movement, including the ability to land safely
• Challenges the mind and body to reach new goals
• Builds strength and flexibility for challenge in life
• Is the perfect team based sport for people of all ages and abilities
