You’ve asked for it, now here it is…the Jump Passport to Physical Literacy.
What’s that you say?
The Jump Passport to Physical Literacy is a new curriculum system from the always clever crew at Jump Gymnastics.
This system is not being put in place to grade your wee one and pass or fail them, but rather help you understand the development of your little one as set their foundation for a lifetime of healthy active living.
Your junior athlete will still be registered in classes that correspond to their age (like Jump one for one year olds, Jump two for two year olds etc), but now they will be able to collect colour badges (like in Red Cross swimming) as they progress through a level. The colour badges will correspond to the gymnastics skill building they do in their classes, the physical literacy components for other sports and on the social/emotional skills necessary to succeed in sport (and life!). In keeping with Jump’s non-competitive philosophy, children will move from one level to the next as they master skills and developmentally mature at their own pace.
The benefit to this new system is that you will get a more accurate assessment of what your active little tot is learning, when they are reaching normal physical milestones and what the behavioural expectations are in each class level. And it all kicks into play during Jump’s new session in January.
If you haven’t checked out Jump Gymnastics yet for your kids, what’s keeping you? Jump Gymnastics’ carefully designed curriculum gives kids the tools they need to be successfully active for their whole lives, regardless of what sports interest them as they grow. They offer kids from six months to eight years old the opportunity to explore movement through activities that enhance balance, strength, flexibility, coordination and agility. And most of all, the classes are just plain fun.
Registration for new families is on now so be sure to jump to it and sign your little one up for classes at Jump.
