Unlike several years ago, today there are a bunch of really great rhythmic gymnastics schools in Miami area, which provide children with an opportunity to participate in rhythmic gymnastics competitions all over the USA.  

Among the 135 clubs registered as members of USA Gymnastics by December 2015, 14 are in from Florida.

When raising a competitive gymnast, your main goal is to choose the top-performing rhythmic gymnastic school within your reach. One of the ways to identify top gymnastics schools in your area is to analyze the results of state rhythmic gymnastics competitions. By checking out how many medals a particular gymnastic club has won at the meet, you can evaluate it’s positions among other rhythmic gymnastic clubs in your state.

To help you identify the top performing rhythmic gymnastic schools in Miami, IK School of Gymnastics prepared the review of Florida State Rhythmic Gymnastics Competition, which was held on March 6-8, 2015 in Miami. Below you can find charts showing the number of medals (1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd All Around) that Florida’s rhythmic gymnastics schools won at Florida’s State Meet 2015.

The information for the review of Florida State Meet 2015 was provided by Rhythmic Gymnastics Region 6 website, where you can find the original results and more valuable insights. 

Another good way to identify top rhythmic gymnastics schools in your area is to analyze Rhythmic Gymnastics National Teams for the current year and check out the sports background of gymnastics coaches working at schools within your reach.

If you manage to find one of your local rhythmic gymnastics school athlete’s name in US Rhythmic Gymnastics National Team, it means you have one of the elite rhythmic gymnastic schools in the USA nearby.

How to Select the Right Christmas Gift for Your Gymnast

Holidays are coming and it’s time to think, what will be the best Christmas gift for your loved gymnast! To help you find the right gift, IK School of Gymnastics in Miami prepared a list of great ideas to focus your thoughts and get you started towards finding the gift of her dreams.

Apparel

• Cute and colorful sweatshirts, jackets, warm-up suits, and T-shirts that let your athlete show off their belonging to the sports of gymnastics. Many popular apparel companies offer clothes for gymnasts with letterings and inspiring pictures about gymnastics. 
• If you think about the gift for your gymnast in advance, you can even order a unique piece of clothing with your own text or her name/photo printed on it.
• Gymnastic leotards worth special mention because it’s absolutely the most desirable clothing item for every gymnast.

Accessories

• Gymnastics tote or a backpack that she can use to bring her supplies, and hold her personal belongings during gymnastics class. 
• Personalized gymnastics lunchbox, where she can bring drinks and healthy snacks for long workouts. 
• Advent calendar for your gymnast and with small but meaningful gifts for her, counting days before Christmas. Glitter hairspray and bright hair elastics, shiny bun kits and headbands, the gymnastics theme key rings and earrings, gymnasts’ scorebooks, water bottles and other small gymnastics-related items work really great for this purpose.

Books, Videos or Tickets to Events

• Letters to a Young Gymnast, Off Balance: A Memoir, Little Girls in Pretty Boxes and other books and movies of that kind allow your gymnasts to get a comprehensive understanding of the sport of gymnastics and see different sides of gymnastics.

Home décor

• The most popular types of gymnastics décor are wall decals, posters, pillows, rugs and blankets. 
• Another great idea is gifting your gymnast a medal holder, which is a great way to show off her medals she is so proud of and keeping them organized as well. 
• To exceed her expectations, you can even find a special gymnastics ornament, so your gymnast can decorate her room or Christmas tree in the most gymnastics way.

While choosing a perfect Christmas gift for your gymnast, don’t forget about thinking about how she’ll spend her free time during holidays. If you do not leave for the holidays, consider an opportunity of enrolling your gymnast to winter gymnastics camp. Gymnastics winter camp can be another great Christmas present for your gymnast, allowing her to get new skills, get a lot of fun and make new friends in safe environment.

Tips for Choosing a Gymnastics School for Your Child

The number of rhythmic gymnastics schools in Miami is constantly growing, which can make the choice of a gymnastics school for your child confusing and stressful. To help parents make choosing of a gymnastics school in Miami as comfortable as possible, we prepared a list of questions to ask the staff, while your daughter is taking her free trial class.

Is the gym a USA gymnastics member club? To acquire the membership in USA Gymnastics, clubs agree to observe certain rules and restrictions. For example, they are obliged to have liability insurance, and not to hire sex offenders or coaches who were banned from being a certified member of USA Gymnastics. Besides, only gymnastics schools that are members of USAG can participate in gymnastics competitions and events.

Are the coaches certified members of USA Gymnastics? To acquire the membership, coaches are safety certified and background checked with USA Gymnastics. Therefore, knowing your coach is a certified member of USA Gymnastics is an additional evidence of that you entrust your child to a professional concerned for the safety of young athletes.

What are the student to coach ratios? Low student to coach ratio is essential for an engaging learning environment as it allows the coaches to learn the needs of every child. Low student to coach ratio gives each child an opportunity for personal attention during the classes rather than just common group instruction.

How are the classes structured and organized? It’s argued that kids show best results when they are in a class with other children of their own age and skills level. When gymnastics classes are organized by age and ability level teachers can work more effectively as they can appropriately teach children, who are at the same level of skills development.

Do they have all necessary equipment for gymnastics? Make sure the gym is clean, free from the smell of stinky feet and the equipment is in good shape, looks safe and has flat floors covered with the carpet on at least 24x12m, a high ceiling for work with apparatus (10m), mirrors, ballet bars, gymnastics ladder built in the walls help to master the technique and take care of the right posture.
