Whiz Kids and Whiz Kids Tiny Tots Program (Under age 6)
Just another reason The Matrix is a one of a kind place to train...The specialized Whiz Kids and Tiny Tots gym. We know our tiniest tumblers deserve extra attention and can easily be overwhelmed in such a large facility, so lucky for them, they have their very own 3,000 square foot gym fully equipped with everything from their very own AirTrack to a triangle swing into a mini foam pit! Some people don't even realize we have a preschool gymnastics program, but our dedicated preschool gymnastics coaches make developing motor skills, hand-eye coordination and balance TONS OF FUN! Whiz Kids and Tiny Tots classes are offered morning, early afternoon, afternoon and evening to fit any busy parents' schedule! Classes are divided by age and we even have a NEW Whiz Kids Rising Stars program to accommodate our more advanced Whiz Kids!
WHIZ KIDS CLASS LEVELS AND DESCRIPTIONS:
Whiz Kids Tiny Tots (Under age 3)
This class is especially designed for toddlers under the age of 3! Tiny Tots' classes are for parents and toddlers who wish to take class together--combining music, instruments, tumbling, trampoline, and flexibility, parents will participate in this class with their child! AND unique to our program, our Tiny Tots have their VERY OWN GYM with tiniest equipment available!
Whiz Kids 2, Whiz Kids 3, and Whiz Kids 4&5
Unlike other facilities in the area, The Matrix takes athletes beginning at age 2 into the gym without a parent.
