SWEET PEAS GYMNASTICS CLASSES

United Sports is proud to part of the Sweet Peas Gymnastics family, beginning in December 2024!

Sweet Peas is an educational gymnastics program designed to promote physical, social, and cognitive development in children six months to six years old.

Sweet Peas Gymnastics provides movement- and sensory-based activities that are
fun and developmentally loaded! This is our passion. The Sweet Peas Educational Gymnastics curriculum helps forge the the architecture of a child’s brain that will serve him or her for a lifetime.

Program Information

The Sweet Peas curriculum focuses on age-appropriate gymnastics activities that foster balance, coordination, core strength, motor planning, bilateral awareness, and flexibility.

Taught in a social-collaborative environment, Sweet Peas provides important life lessons in self-awareness, courage, success, and friendship. The Sweet Peas curriculum is centered around excellent, progressive gymnastics training that also incorporates color recognition, language development, spatial relations, music awareness, and counting skills.

Our Sweet Peas students learn how to listen to their teacher, follow instructions, and wait for their turn. They learn to enjoy their own achievements and to encourage and applaud the success of their friends. We know that every Sweet Pea learns at his or her own pace.

Real gymnastics. Real learning. Really fun.

Wee Pea Gymnastics

Carefully designed for babies learning to sit and crawl, Wee Peas provides our littlest scooters with active learning activities that focus on whole baby development. Wee Peas are given opportunities to move, reach, and grasp in a baby-safe environment that is rich with color, sound, and tactile experiences. Wee Peas learn to recognize their name in class and react to identifying themselves to the teacher. Wee Peas enjoy activities that promote visual tracking. core strength and balance needed for sitting and standing.

Objectives include activities that promote crossing the midline and bilateral awareness needed for crawling and walking. Wee Peas also enjoy some of their first experiences in playing and learning with other babies and gain cornerstone lessons in social awareness through interacting with their Wee Pea friends!

One Pea Gymnastics Classes

The One Peas· curriculum is designed to provide enriching activities in a safe and fun environment. One Peas learn self-awareness and physical adaptation through developmentally appropriate gymnastics activities such as stepping, rolling, balancing, sliding, and swinging. One Peas learn rhythm and sequencing through physical activities coordinated with music and prompts.

One Peas learn to clap, step, count, stop and start, and repeat. One Peas begin to recognize and anticipate routines in the One Pea lesson plans. They are beginning to remember what they have learned and they are excited to participate.

Two Peas Gymnastics

The Two Peas program is designed to capitalize on the rapidly improving physical, cognitive, and language development of two-year olds. Two Peas provides large motor skill and gross motor skill development with whole body activities in developmentally appropriate circuits.

Two Peas learn to run with developing synchronization; step, hold, and balance on alternate feet; roll forward. sideways, and backwards on a wedge with a spot; transfer weight from feet to hands and back.

Two Peas play (or observe play): interactively structured games with other Two Peas classmates. They begin to recognize colors through materials and activities in class; begin to recite numbers through counting or listening while performing physical motions; and increase language development through physical activities promoting word association.

Three Peas Gymnastics

The Three Pea curriculum is designed to provide skill development on floor, beam bars, and vault. Three Peas work on forward rolls, straddle rolls, and Three Pea cartwheels. They increase their balance with beam work that includes alternating forward kicks, squat holds. releve walks, and beam crawls.

Three Peas develop core strength by learning to draw to a tuck from a straight hang on the bars and execute forward rolls over the bar. Their vault skills include punching the board with both feet. a squat on to a block and donkey kicks. Three Peas are introduced to activities that incorporate spatial. sequential and directional cues. They are continuing to develop an understanding of differences in color, shape, and size.

Four Pea Gymnastics

The Sweet Pea curriculum embraces the four­-year old’s readiness for learning, and provides a dynamic educational gymnastics environment. Four Peas work on forward rolls, straddle rolls, and backward rolls on both an incline mat and on the floor. They are practicing straighter legs and longer holds in the execution of their skills. Four Peas are developing balance with skills on beam such as straight jumps. alternating kick posse sequences, and Four Pea arabesques.
Four Peas are gaining confidence and accuracy on the vault. They are mastering their squat, donkey kicks with horizontal hips, and jumping on and off a block.

Five Pea Gymnastics

Five Peas are refining their technique with focus on form and lines. The Five Pea
curriculum includes bridges, handstands, and stronger executions of rolls.
The Five Pea cartwheel demonstrates proper sequencing and a more refined lunge finish. Five Peas can hold their releves and arabesques on beam and are developing the core strength needed to hold tucks, straddles , and pikes on the bars.

Five Peas are mastering the vault runway with sequenced runs. They are punching the board with two feet and their vaults now include stretch jumps. squats onto the block, and forward rolls.

6 Pea Gymnastics

Six Peas are working on cartwheels, handstands, and straight-legged tables – all with increasing form and technique. Six Peas are gaining more advanced abilities with floor sequences that combine rolls, jumps, lunges, turns, and finishes. The Six Peas curriculum also includes the added learning challenge of properly counting and executing skills to music beats and claps.

Six Peas’ developing balance and strength enables them to work on a jump to front support on the beam, 3 second V-sit hold on beam, lever to a T position and more. Six Peas train on windows on bars as well as L-hang and flexed arm hangs with a 5 second hold. Bars are becoming even more fun as Six Peas are able to work on window pikes and straddles, casts from front supports, forward rolls to flexed arm hangs, pullovers and back hip circles. Six Peas’ vault curriculum includes focus on hollow body shaping, handstands, tucks and straddles.

United Sports is still offering recreational gymnastics classes for boys and girls ages 7 & up.  These classes will be shaped by the skills and abilities of participants, working on practicing bars, beams, trampoline, and vault techniques.

This is a recreational program designed to be a fun, low-pressure way to build some gymnastics skills!

  • Bring your child to class dressed and ready to participate. Wear fitted clothes. For girls, a leotard, compression shorts, leggings, and footless tights are generally fine. For boys, a compression shirt or t-shirt which can be tucked in and athletic shorts or compression shorts would work.
  • Long hair should be tied back. The key is to keep it out of the face so it is not a distraction or something they need to swipe aside when they finish a skill. Elastic headbands can be another help here as well.
  • Bring a water bottle. It sets a good habit for your child on the importance of hydration.
  • Finally, have them use the bathroom before class. Especially with the youngest students, when one kid has to go during class, suddenly they all need to go!
  • *Administration Fee required. This yearly administration fee, once paid, covers all individual registrations for all programs throughout the year. Learn more.
  • *Almost every activity has a minimum number of registrants needed to cover the expenses or to make it enjoyable for everyone (think sports games and scrimmages).
