Class Levels at BOUNCE

Babyroos and Superroos

Parent-supported classes that introduce gentle movement, sensory exploration, and early coordination. These classes help babies and toddlers build confidence while bonding with caregivers.

Twos and Threes

Children begin exploring equipment independently. Coaches introduce basic gymnastics shapes, jumps, rolls, balance skills, and simple instructions. Kids learn to follow routines, take turns, and try new challenges.

Fours

Preschoolers practice more advanced progressions such as controlled landings, beginner cartwheel mechanics, bar hangs, beam walks, and trampoline basics. They also build independence, teamwork, and emotional regulation.
