Barron is proud to offer a successful competitive program for those gymnasts who show the talent and desire to compete. Our goal is for each of our athletes to reach their highest potential in gymnastics in a safe and positive environment. We are proud of our mission of “Building Skills for Life”. We are about building your child as an athlete as well as a person. Barron competitive gymnasts are taught dedication, discipline, teamwork, sportsmanship, self-worth, goal setting, and self-confidence that they will continue to use throughout their athletic and academic careers. All programs are by invitation, but if your child has a desire to compete please contact our front desk to see what opportunities we have for your child.
Our Program
Why Gymnastics?
When taught properly, a gymnast can build skills for life, not only phyiscally but mentally. As a result, it encourages a lifetime enjoyment of physical health and fitness. Some physical attributes include: strength, flexibility, kinesthetic awareness, muscle control, endurance, agility, balance and grace. The mental attributes we hope to develop are sportsmanship, an enrichment of self-worth, self-esteem, goal setting, determination, and dedication.
Team | Levels 4–9
The team program compete in USA Gymnastics competitions. The team environment is designed to bring out the best of each child while still maintaining the element of fun. We teach the athletes how to get the most out of their gymnastics ability and to build life skills. The team gymnasts participate in a Journaling program that teaches mental toughness for sport and life.
