Discipline
Like many sports, discipline is the most important aspect of gymnastics. It comes in two parts: safety and self-discipline. Staying safe while practicing takes discipline, which is why we focus heavily on teaching your child the importance of safety and the steps that need to be taken to ensure their own and other’s safety. Over time, self-discipline develops as this sport requires them to train safely even when no one is watching.
Respect
In gymnastics classes, kids develop various social skills, including respecting one another and their coaches. They will learn how to look, listen, and stand in line when they need to, as well as perform specific moves when directed. This will help them think and talk while being respectful of others. For younger gymnasts, they will also learn to respect older kids as we encourage them to assist the younger and beginning gymnasts.
Teamwork
At Virginia Elite Gymnastics Academy, we teach one of the most important core values: teamwork. Kids have to work together as a unit to solve problems. Additionally, they will have to collaborate with one another during practice and when performing to ensure their routine is executed properly and everyone is safe. In doing this, they will also have to trust each other immensely — continuing to build that team bond.
Self-Confidence
We are dedicated to teaching every skill through incremental progression. This is one of the healthiest ways to develop confidence in kids. With every passing day at the gym, your child will learn to believe in themselves more and build self-confidence over time as they work their way up in performing more challenging movements both as an individual and as a team.
Apart from these four core values, your child will gain many other values required to help them succeed in life. Gymnastics requires your child to work hard and with immense consistency. Therefore, they will gain values such as work ethic, determination, and performance with every new day.
