Some of the best lessons we’ve ever learned have come from our students with autism. It’s been our honor to work with these children, and every day we’re amazed to see how hard our students work to get through their day. We’re inspired by these people to work harder, be better, and exercise gratitude for the gifts we have in this life.

Help us give back by supporting our RPG staff and their team members in their walk for Autism Speaks by visiting their team page and donating.

Thank you for your support!

Gymnastics is the only sport that works total body strength, flexibility and aerobic development. Gymnastics enhances gross motor skills. Self-discipline is developed due to the very nature of the sport. Self-confidence is built through individualized goals and accomplishments. For any other sport, gymnastics is a way of developing strength and giving athletes that “added edge”. Early training results in increased kinesthetic awareness. An article published on livestrong.com elaborates on the question What Are The Benefits of Gymnastics For Kids?

To paraphrase, gymnastics can:

1.) Develop coordination
2.) Develop flexibility
3.) Develop strength and power
4.) Learn to listen and follow directions
5.) Gain self-esteem and confidence
6.) Social interaction with peers
7.) Learn to set goals
8.) Learn fundamentals of movement
9.) Develop skills to enhance other sports

Most importantly, it’s a fun, active sport that encourages movement, activity, and play! So, whether your child comes to us inspired by the Olympics, X-games, or the latest blockbuster Hollywood movie – we’ll introduce them to the world of gymnastics and movement!
