School-Age Gymnastics
JAG TeRRiFiCC Academy
Girls Gymnatics Classes
Our Academy students (Kindergarten and above) are placed into class based on skill and gender. JAG’s curriculum is taught on a continuum, allowing students to move at their own pace, advancing on the events on which they are ready. Monthly evaluations are low stress and allow the coaches to track the athletes’ progress awarding them a wristband when they master the skills for that event. Progress to the next class is achieved when all wristbands from the previous level are earned and they are awarded a trophy. If a student has gymnastics experience prior to attending JAG, please contact us and we would be delighted to discuss the most appropriate placement for your child.
If a child has prior gymnastics experience, we will place them in an appropriate age/skill class and the coach will then evalute your child to ensure a permanent class placement.

Ninja Classes
Ninja Gym is a fusion of obstacle training, gymnastics, martial arts and freestyle movement. In this program, these are combined to create ninja style moves that are used to conquer challenges and elude (imaginary) opponents. The result is a skill based, fast-paced, fun program geared just for boys and girls who have enormous energy and are looking for a great program to boost their athleticism.
While practicing the sport of Ninja develops the body and is tremendous fun, it also builds character and cultivates discipline.
