General Information:
At Eagle’s Wings Athletics our Preschool Gymnastics Program will prepare our youngest students for any type of athletic experience they may participate in during their youth and throughout their life. We want them to learn that movement is fun and healthy and will provide them with many opportunities and challenges to enrich their lives. Gymnastics instruction is the basis of our program, but we also add lessons to help learn other sports skills and activities so they will have a broad base of physical abilities and experience. We offer a 6:1 student/teacher ratio.
