The Hickam Gymnastics Program is part of the Hickam Youth Programs. The program is held in Bldg. Our goal is to teach gymnastics in a fun, safe environment while helping students to develop a positive self-image and to increase their self confidence. Basics are taught in motor skills development, strength, and flexibility. This class requires a great deal of Parent -Child interaction.
Instructors show Parents how to guide the Child through various locomotor activities.
The goal is to positively predispose the child to all types of motor movement. Children are also encouraged to develop their social skills during this class by interacting with other children. This is the first class when children begin coming without their parents. The focus in this class is to expand and enhance the child's listening and social skills. As the child becomes skilled in their cognitive and affective skills, the focus shifts more towards the development of their physical skills.
