ATA  is going prehistoric! During the weeks of July 20th through August 1st, all Intro Tumblers (4-6 years) will travel back in time and tumble with the dinosaurs! All Dino Days activities will follow ATA's curriculum and help to develop student's strength, balance, agility, coordination and flexibility.  Students will learn the following song and sing during circle time. Sung to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."

Stomp, stomp, stomp around on your great big feet.

Swish your tail, Turn around, Now go take a seat!

***Sing at home with your child!

At ATA every student is a STAR and we want to acknowledge each student's accomplishments!  During the week of July 6 - 11, all students will get an opportunity to perform a special/favorite gymnastics skill in front of an audience.  Students will then be awarded a special ATA ribbon! Family and friends are welcome to come and watch!

It's hard to believe, but we have had the very last team practice at of the season at the gym!  We are so proud of all of our athletes!  There have been many challenges, highs and lows, but everyone has represented ATA and the sport of Acro Gymnastics with true pride!  At our annual ATA Team Picnic, coaches and management had a chance to take a moment and recognize many athletes on our team with special awards!  Congratulations to the following:
