This spring Balance 180 Gymnastics and Sports Academy, a local non-profit organization, has once again a great hands-on opportunity for students to volunteer with our athletes. Our Adaptive Gymnastics Program is offered on Saturdays from 1:00-2:00 pm and 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. Our volunteers work 1 on 1 or 2 on 1 with our athletes and help them improve their social, motor and cognitive skills. 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 Heather at AGvolunteers@balance180.org. No gymnastics experience is required to volunteer and you can select the dates that you are available to assist.
