June is Acro Month
At ATA our team athletes compete in the amazing sport of Acrobatic Gymnastics. We want our recreational students to experience the excitement of this sport as well, so we have included it in ATA's curriculum three months out of the year! During the months of March, June and September, students will get the opportunity to learn and practice the basics of this sport.
Acrobatic Gymnastics is a combination of partner skills, dance and individual acrobatic and tumbling skills. Athletes work in pairs or groups to perform skills of balance and of flight. The sport requires a great deal of strength, flexibility, balance and agility.
During Acro Months all classes will follow ATA's curriculum, allowing students to continue working on their individual tumbling and acrobatic skills. In addition, instructors will spend a few minutes of class time teaching foundational acrobatic skills. Students will learn some of the following: thigh stands, shoulder stands, candlesticks & basket tosses. These are just a few of the skills we have planned. Really...the list is endless! Learning and performing Acro is a blast!

Character Counts
We hope that last month's Character Counts theme will leave a lasting impression on ATA's staff, students and parents. Through fun skits and discussions, coaches and students talked about how to practically display these character traits: respect, responsibility, caring and citizenship. Thanks to everyone who helped to decorate our walls!
