Young Gymnast of the Month

Elona Ray-Costa, Selina Layia and Chloe Blackwell are all our gymnasts of the month for July. Elona and Selina are 13 years old and Chloe is 8 years old. These three girls make up one of Coastlands Kids Gymnastics State Stream Acrobatic Trios. This trio in its present form have been working together for 3 months and becoming quite a force.

They are currently training together to achieve Level 3. Acrobatic Gymnastics mixes high flying group skill, towers and pyramids with tumbling and individual skills to form a beautiful, dynamic and spectacular display.

This gymsport develops courage, strength, stamina, co-ordination, flexibility, jumping abilities and adroitness. Sports acrobatics unites its power and poise, with grace and beauty to create an intriguing sport. Acrobats in groups of two and three perform routines with the hands and feet of their partners.

All group routines are choreographed to music. This helps to enrich the body movement and the musical culture of the performers.

At Coastlands Kids Gymnastics, we teach good solid gymnastics skills and total physical fitness in a fun and healthy atmosphere. Gymnastics plays an important role in developing healthy attitudes among kids, building their self-esteem and empowering them to treat both their mind and body with respect. Coastlands Kids continually strives to provide a positive influence lasting well into the future.

Coastlands Kids Gymnastics operates every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Currently programs offered include Kindergym, Gymnastics for All, Boys and Girls Competition, and Acro/Tumble (introduction to Sports Acrobatics).
