A Winter Day Camp for Budding Athletes

Why choose Los Angeles School of Gymnastics? winter camp? There are many valid reasons.

  • Physical Development: Gymnastics is one of the best activities a child can participate in to improve their overall proficiency in athletics. It improves their strength, fitness, flexibility, coordination, balance, and agility. What?s more, the positive association between achievements in gymnastics (and the fun of doing it) will encourage your child to continue exercising and pursuing fitness.
  • Mental development: Gymnastics also encourages the development of valuable mental skills such as focus, goal setting, listening and following directions, concentration, and visualization. As your child masters each level of these skills, they will be able to set goals and learn more advanced skills. This positive feedback loop of achievement and progress can be an encouraging avenue for children who may be struggling to find motivation in a traditional classroom environment.
  • Emotional development: While gymnastics is fun and adventurous, it can also be challenging at times. Overcoming fear and building confidence in order to attempt new skills and gain mastery over them is a regular feature of gymnastics class and one that is eminently transferable to other parts of a child?s life. After all, if your child can overcome their fear and develop the confidence necessary to attempt vaulting over a horse, they can surely do the same to speak in front of their class. Stress management is another kind of emotional tool that children who participate in gymnastics hone. By overcoming the minor stresses, you might encounter in a gymnastics class, children develop the resilience necessary to endure and triumph over more significant sources of stress (such as standardized tests). You are essentially inoculating them against stress.

Gymnastics is one of the few forms of youth sport where children aren?t regularly pitted against each other. The problem with competitive sport is that so often it?s a zero-sum game: for someone to win, someone else has to lose.

Repeated exposure to failure can demoralize young children who are not psychologically prepared to deal with it. Rather than risk the negative emotions associated with failure again, too many children opt to avoid competitive sports. 

With the lack of non-competitive sports available for children to participate in, this often effectively means that these children stop engaging in sports entirely: an attitude that has negative consequences for a child?s fitness and general health.

It also serves to further expand the skill gap between ?sporty? children and children less inclined towards sports, making it harder for children who have rejected sport to reimmerse themselves. 

Recreational gymnastics is an opportunity to bridge that gap. Gymnastics helps every child to experience success as they achieve new goals and improve upon their previous showings. This results in improvements in self-esteem, fostering of cooperative and empathic skills between participants, leading to healthy social bonds and friendships. The lack of direct competition means that the main force to be overcome is the gymnast?s own inability: an adversary that can usually be defeated through diligence and good training.
