Womens Gymnastics
The start of this sport is found in ancient times. It is the way the legendary Spartan warriors gained superiority over the surrounding nations. It has grown and changed since its debut, the amount of jaw dropping, gravity defying, and impressive forms of strength have exploded within the last decade. The sport has grown with developments in the technology of the equipment and safety equipment. At Empowered Athletics we are striving to be one of the best gymnastics facilities not only in the state (box already checked), but in the country. We have great equipment and lesson plans to help kids achieve a high level of athletic capabilities. Safety features of the facility include a loose foam pit, trampolines, thick soft cushions, and new training apparatus. Our staff is constantly being trained, coached, and learning up to date techniques while keeping the traditional philosophy of “Hard work pays off, always” in mind.
GYMNASTICS BUILD STRENGTH
At all levels of gymnastics this is a sport of strength. This is a sport of calisthenics, a form of work out that uses body weight over free weights. Gymnastics was the origination of this type of working out. The physical abilities aspect of gymnastics training helps any other sport they wish to ever attempt. This is the best foundation sport known!
GYMNASTICS BUILDS CONFIDENCE
When you’re flipping through the air, the only person you can really trust is yourself. This translates to later in life the ability to take what others look at like risks but you look at as an opportunity. Taking a risk and trusting yourself in your ability to get the job done right and done safely. This is the confidence that gymnastics builds in its athletes.
GYMNASTICS BUILDS TEAMWORK
Gymnastics isn’t just an individual’s sport. It is also a team sport. A team of athletes (three or more) can get a team score by having the best three people per event. This is the hardest, and therefore most coveted, award to obtain. This requires not only a gymnast to work your hardest, but for a gymnast to also be a good teammate. To encourage your teammates to be the best they can be so you can get the best team score you can. This means good sportsmanship on and off the field.
Empowered Athletics is…
A highly competitive gym that strives to be the best. We aim to be the best not just on the event, but outside of the event as well. We push the kids to do big skills done well. We have put kids into the national TOPS team for girls (Elite Women’s start) and they have fun and stay smiling. We understand the sport is hard, but you try harder at things that you enjoy doing. So we make it fun, enjoyable, and kid friendly. This allows us to create happy, healthy, and competitive athletes that not only enjoy competition, but like coming to practice as well.
