Here, our student gymnasts can learn high level skills while developing self-confidence, discipline and self-esteem. We asked kids to tell us why they like coming to World Cup gymnastics classes. Their answers were clear! Because……

1. I like practicing with my teammates.

2. I like doing the Ninja blocks because it makes me feel like a spider.

3. I like learning how to do a front flip on the trampoline.

4. I get stamps and get to climb the rock wall.

5. I get to do a handstand flat back into the pit.

6. I love to bounce on the trampoline.

7. I love to get to the top of the ninja wall.

8. I like to climb the rope and get big muscles.

9. I like yelling “kowabunga” when I jump into the pit.

10. I like the feeling of finally accomplishing a skill.

Binghamton, NY, March 16-18, 2018 – World Cup Gymnastics boys’ team competed this past weekend at the New York State Championship held at Chenago Valley High School in Binghamton, NY.  Over 400 gymnasts competed at this exciting event.

Level 10 boys had a great meet.   In particular graduating Senior, Miles Miller from Hartsdale, NY was the champion on Floor in the 17-18 age group with a 13.7001 and took home silver medals for Rings (13.7002), Parallel Bars (13.5002) and High Bar (13.5002).  He also was the All-Around silver medalist (80.5002). Teammate,  J.T. Basulto, also from Hartsdale, won on  Floor with a 13.3001 in the 15-16 age group and took home a silver medal for Parallel Bars (13.1002).   Although World Cup’s Level 10 Team vied for the first place title, in the end, they were proud of their third place finish.

Our youngest gymnast at age 7, Dylan Davenport, from Stamford, CT won Level 5 Rings with a 10.9001 and Vault (9.3001).  He also took home silver medals on Floor (10.4002) and Pommel Horse (10.7002) as well as placing fourth in the All-Around (59.0004).

“All of our gymnasts showed great focus and, moreover, demonstrated a remarkable desire to be successful.  Our Level 10 boys were especially motivated and driven and it showed in their outstanding performances.  We couldn’t be prouder of their achievements,” added Hebert.  The boys’ team now advance to the regional competitions.

Discover 35 Reasons to Love Gymnastics

October 22, 2017 by Jodi Rosenwasser Levine

PHOTO BY SOPHIE MATHEWSON
  1. Builds strength.
  2. Mastering a skill feels empowering…and proves that hard work pays off.
  3. Kids love to cartwheel! Being able to cartwheel is like riding a bike–once you’ve got it…you’ve got it. Forever!
  4. Teaches courage. Children encounter things that will push them out of their comfort zone. Making a decision to trust themselves (and their coach) is a skill that will carry over to all areas of their lives.
  5. Develops grit … a child choosing to keep trying a skill repeatedly. Teaches how to fall down, regroup and get back.
  6. Increases balance.
  7. Offers opportunity to be social outside of school in a small, fun group setting. Encourages friendships by working together.
  8. Builds confidence. Confidence spreads quickly to all areas of life. On and off the mat.
  9. Enjoying the excitement of jumping off of high mats, on bouncy trampolines and over challenging objects in a safe setting.  Simply fun!
  10. Children naturally love to move in all different ways. Gymnastics is all about movement.
  11. Patience is practiced daily…whether waiting for a turn or working  to achieve a desired skill.
  12. Students learn how to fall now so that they can safely fall later both in and out of the gym.
  13. The thrill of a new skill after months of hard work.
  14. Teaches children that hard work is necessary to reach goals. Not everything happens in an instant.
  15. Improves motor skill development.
  16. Improves motor planning.
  17. Builds strong bones.
  18. Introduces fitness at an early age which will lead to healthy habits that last a lifetime.
  19. Every field or stretch of sand turns into a place to tumble. Every tree branch turns into a bar. Every curb turns in to a balance beam.
  20. It is the sport for all sports! Start with Gymnastics and go anywhere. Best physical foundation.
  21. Increases upper body strength while swinging and supporting oneself on the bars.
  22. Teaches the value of repetition.
  23. Children work toward their personal best, and support their classmates in theirs.
  24. Increases reading readiness.
  25. Balancing and achieving skills on a 4” beam that at one point seemed intimidating, makes almost anything seem possible.
  26. Improves hand/eye coordination as well as foot/eye coordination.
  27. Increases attention span.
  28. More and more research supports gymnastics as extremely beneficial to brain development.
  29. Improves focus.
  30. Children of all abilities can participate and benefit. Wonderful for children with special needs and different learning styles.
  31. Persistence is encouraged and necessary. Children must repeat skills to accomplish them, a reminder that you must work hard to find success.
  32. Increases flexibility.
  33. Increases bone strength with weight bearing exercise.
  34. Being upside down can actually make one feel happier and calmer.
  35. It’s soooo much FUN! The best reason of all!
