Upside Down, Backwards, and Having a Blast: Discover Lil’ Movers at Momentum Athletic Center

July 7, 2025

Do you remember the thrill of standing on your head as a child, seeing the world from a completely new perspective? Do you recall the thrill of running full tilt, turning cartwheels across the grass, or the pride that swelled in your chest when you finally mastered that backflip on the trampoline? At Momentum Athletic Center, we have a program that invites your children to experience these delights and so much more.

Hello, parents, guardians, and little athletes!

Welcome to the vibrant world of Lil’ Movers, where we’re turning childhood playtime upside down, quite literally!

Lil’ Movers is our dynamic gymnastics program specifically designed for kids aged 3-6. Inspired by child development principles, this program uses the excitement of gymnastics to teach more than just physical skills. Here, your child will learn to be bold, take healthy risks, and develop the courage to step outside their comfort zone.

The agility required in gymnastics encourages cognitive development in a fun and exciting way. Twisting, turning, and tumbling in all sorts of directions, our young gymnasts learn about spatial awareness, coordination, and balance. These skills not only help in the gymnasium but are fundamental to overall child development, including academic learning.


Do you ever wonder how a gymnast flips backward and lands perfectly? It’s not just about physical strength but also involves a tremendous amount of visual and spatial processing. When your child is upside down or moving backward, they’re not just playing but training their brain to see and understand the world differently. It’s all about challenging their norms and pushing their limits, encouraging them to think outside the box.

At Momentum Athletic Center, our goal isn’t just to teach kids how to do a perfect cartwheel or master a balance beam, but to encourage them to learn, grow, and tackle life with enthusiasm and resilience. Through our Lil’ Movers program, we cultivate an environment where kids feel safe to try, fail, and try again. In this nurturing atmosphere, your child learns about patience, dedication, and the joy of small victories that lead to significant achievements.

Our dedicated coaches work closely with each child, paying attention to their individual strengths and areas for improvement. We believe in the power of personal encouragement and feedback, guiding your little ones to be confident in their abilities and to celebrate their unique gifts.

So, let’s get your kids upside down, spinning, and springing! Let’s get them exploring their capabilities and pushing boundaries. Let’s get them having fun and learning with Lil’ Movers at Momentum Athletic Center. A world of exciting flips, spins, and somersaults awaits your child. Join us today and see how we’re reinventing the way your children play, learn, and grow.

Get in touch with us to learn more about the program or to schedule a visit. Let’s get your kids moving in the right direction – even if that direction is upside down!

Preschool gymnastics is an amazing way for kids to develop their physical abilities and fitness. One of the most exciting parts of preschool gymnastics is the vault “event”, where preschool gymnasts can showcase their strength, coordination, and balance by running, jumping, and landing on a springboard. In preschool, we use a smaller springboard but the concept is the same – train the brain and body and develop confidence and a love for gymnastics that will carry them through the event as they grow.

In the world of early childhood development, every movement, gesture, and activity plays a pivotal role in shaping a child’s future. At Momentum Athletic Center, we’ve always believed in harnessing the power of movement to foster growth, both mentally and physically. Our Little Movers Preschool Gymnastics program is a testament to this belief. One of the foundational movements we emphasize is the “pencil” body shape. But why is this seemingly simple posture so crucial for preschoolers?
