Hands-On Learning Opportunity! Balance 180 Gymnastics

This is Elizabeth Figg and I am the Volunteer Coordinator for the Adaptive Gymnastics Program at Balance 180 Gymnastics and Sports Academy. We are currently recruiting college-aged volunteers for the fall semester and are hoping you can share the following information with your students.

Balance 180 is a local non-profit organization that focuses on integrating children with varying abilities through sports. Our volunteers work 1 on 1 or 2 on 1 with our athletes who have disabilities including autism, Down syndrome, ADD/ADHD, and cerebral palsy, among others. This is a great hands-on learning experience for student volunteers.

This Fall we have an opportunity for students to work with our athletes in the Adaptive Gymnastics Program on Saturdays from 1:00-2:00pm. This is a gymnastics class that is specifically designed for children with varying abilities. We set up the gym in rotations that include vault, bars, beam, floor, and a tumble track, so our athletes can work on a variety of motor skills. The athletes have a range of disabilities including autism, Down syndrome, ADD/ADHD, and cerebral palsy. Information on this program can be found in the flyer below. If you are interested in being a part of the Adaptive Gymnastics volunteer team, please contact Elizabeth and Rebecca at AGvolunteers@balance180.org. No gymnastics experience is required to volunteer. 

We are so excited to be offering this program for the fall and hope that some of your students will be able to join us and benefit from this hands-on learning experience. Thank you very much for your help with spreading the word! It is greatly appreciated!

Sincerely, 

Elizabeth Figg for the Balance 180 Team
