    Gymnastics

    strength, fexibility, power, agility, coordination, grace and balance. It is the perfect sport to
    teach skills for life, including independence, focus and self-discipline - skills that can help to
    improve our self-esteem, learning and physical development.

    transfer, balance, jumping/fight/landing and rotation. These skills are improved with
    importance on space, efort and relationships aspects. In this type of gymnastics students learn
