About Us:

 

The goals of Beach Stars Gymnastics are to develop a child’s fitness and athletic ability along with their self-esteem and creativity.  We are a “recreational” gymnastics facility, focusing on the “fun” aspects of the wonderful sport of gymnastics.  Through positive teaching techniques and encouragement, all of our gymnasts are winners!  We teach them to believe in themselves, because WE believe in them.  Everyday!  We teach gymnastics progressively by breaking down skills to small components which can be learned more easily. Then the small steps are put together, and the total skill is accomplished!  This method helps avoid frustration, failure, and sometimes injury.  So even when a skill is difficult, the gymnast will not give up.  The thrill of eventually learning that skill has a huge impact on the student’s self-esteem.

 

The preschool classes have a different theme every week, with fun props and music (36 different themes!), including Outer Space week, Circus Week, and Disney Week, to name just a few.  We teach children the joy of movement while using their imaginations, and that exercise can be fun and feels good; a lesson we hope will last them a lifetime!  Click here to see pics of our gym and the classes:

 

 

About Gymnastics

 

Gymnastics is the only sport that helps children with all other sports!  Besides being fun and healthy, gymnastics also has the following benefits:

PHYSICALLY - They learn strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, agility, and endurance.

EMOTIONALLY – It teaches them how to feel good about themselves and their accomplishments.

MENTALLY – It teaches them how to concentrate, handle their fears and anxieties, and develop positive attitudes towards new learning situations.

SOCIALLY - It teaches the children the importance of friendship and respect for others, and how to work together as a group.

Beach Stars Gymnastics is a year-round program that operates all of its Classes on

Age Groups & Ability Levels

 

TINY TUMBLERS – ages 18 mo. – 5 years

(45 minute classes)

 

BABY STARS 18 mo. – 3 years of age (Parent Participation)

This class is designed for the parents to interact with their child in a motor development program. Each class is organized to provide activities to encourage development of gross motor skills, socialization and interaction with other students. Hand and foot eye coordination, strength, balance, physical awareness, self-esteem and fun!

 

TINY STARS 3-4 years & LITTLE STARS 4-5 years of age

These little gymnasts train without parents in the class. They spend much of their time learning the basic skills of gymnastics as well as many coordination and agility skills that will increase their ability to learn more difficult gymnastic skills. They also begin to learn technique, straight legs, extended positions, proper landings, and more!

 

Each week we have a different theme for our preschoolers! Children learn through repetition but we make it fun and teach the basics in different ways so children are always excited to learn!

 

RECREATIONAL LEVELS – AGES 6 – 18

(1 HOUR – 1 ½ HOURS)

 

SHOOTING STARS – KINDERGARDEN AGE

Our kindergarten level is co-ed. They are learning the basic skills of gymnastics on the different apparatus as well as how to use the apparatus safely. We also start to develop the strength and flexibility needed to advance to more difficult skills. This class is broken into two groups according to skills achieved.

 

RED STARS – CO-ED AGES 6-18

This is the basic beginning level. In this class gymnasts work on basic skills for each of the apparatus as well as how to use the apparatus safely. We also start to develop the strength and flexibility needed to advance to more difficult skills.

 

BLUE STARS – CO-ED AGES 6-18

At this level more intermediate skills are taught improving on technique. The gymnasts will also begin to advance to begin to combine more skills and connect them with body elements.

 

MEGA STARS – CO-ED AGES 6-18

At this level gymnasts train more advanced gymnastic skill and routines. Gymnasts now have enough body awareness to really begin to “tumble and fly”.

 

 

 

 

About Coach Suzy

 

Beach Stars Gymnastics is owned and operated by Suzy Wade.

Her coaching methods have set new standards for the way gymnastics is taught, and the students acquire new skills.

 

Coach Suzy was a competitive gymnast for seven years, but loved being theatrical with the sport.  "The most fun I had in gymnastics was recreationally," said Wade, the owner of Beach Stars Gymnastics (and former owner of Tahoe Flips Gymnastics).  "I've found being competitive can be hard on kids. They spend 22 hours per week in a dark gym."

For Wade, recreational gymnastics means learning all the amazing skills and cool “tricks” gymnastics offers.  Routines are taught and performed in all our amazing parades and shows throughout the years such as our “Wicked Avocado” at the Avocado Festival in Carpinteria.


Gymnastics isn't just for little, thin, tight bodies - it's for everyone. Everyone needs to move.  Every child finds their strengths and gets something wonderful from this amazing sport.
