Boys and Girls are introduced to gymnastic
skills; tumbling and apparatus, and progress through various levels of
difficulty according to their readiness. Introductory skills teach children to
move safely in self and general space with and without apparatus in various
directions, with various speeds and intensities and in various body positions.
They learn to safely develop kinesthetic awareness, speed, balance, strength,
and aesthetic movement while experiencing success and learning to gain
confidence in their abilities and in overcoming obstacles.
Sokol believes that all gymnasts, regardless
of their abilities, must begin with a solid foundation of basic skills. Our
instructors are trained at Sokol Instructor Schools and keep up with the latest
gymnastics training, skills progressions, and safety measures as recommended by
the Athletic Amateur Union (AAU) and USA Gymnastics (USAG). Sokol offers a
variety of competitive levels including basic Sokol routines, USAG Junior
Olympic (JO) Compulsory Routines and the Excel Program, which is designed to
offer a broad-based, competitive experience outside the traditional JO program.
Sokol Farrell has
a fully equipped gymnasium with Olympic standard apparatus and a 42’x42’ spring
floor.
All
classes run continuously from September through May on the third floor at the
Slovak Home in Farrell. Please enter the building through the Federal Street
entrance. Once entering, proceed to the third floor gymnasium.
New members may register on the first class they attend. Please come prepared
to practice at that time.
