Today was Morgan's first day of gymnastic lessons and she had a great time. The Mom's I met at our play date on Thursday told me about the lessons. I was able to register Morgan yesterday and she started today. Classes on are Saturday mornings from 9-9:40 at a school right by our house. They go for 10 weeks. It was a pretty large class of 3 & 4 yr olds, about 20, but there were 5 coaches there too. The coaches were very enthousiastic and kept things moving for the kids.
After warming up, the kids were broken into 3 different groups and they rotated through 3 different stations. They did forward and backward rolls on the mats, then handstands along the wall, and then walked across the balance beam. There were two balance beams. One was just a couple of inches off the floor and was no problem for the kids. But the other beam was so far off the floor. About as tall as my rib cage. The kids walked across with assistance from one of the coaches and then jumped off onto the mats below. I couldn't get over it.
Morgan really enjoyed the lesson and is anxious to go back next week. A uniform leotard was included in the registration price so she will wear that at the next lesson. I will be sure to take pictures.
