• HANOVER YMCA GYMNASTICS IS A MULTIFACETED PROGRAM THAT ENRICHES THE LIVES OF THE CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY. OUR PROGRAM IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR KEY GROUPS.PRESCHOOL: AGES 14 MONTHS - 4 YEARS.DEVELOPMENTAL AGES 4 AND UP. IN THIS PROGRAM CHILDREN ARE GIVEN PROGRESS REPORTS AND MAY MOVE FROM BEGINNER TO INTERMEDIATE AND PRE-TEAM BASED ON THE PROFICIENCY OF SKILLS TAUGHT.TEAM: OUR PRE-TEAM AND TEAM PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE BY INVITATION ONLY TO CHILDREN AGES 4-18. SPECIALS: THESE ARE PROGRAMS SUCH AS TUMBLING CLASSES, OPEN GYMS AND BIRTHDAY PARTIES. THESE PROGRAMS PROVIDE AN INTRODUCTION TO GYMNASTICS.WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF GYMNASTICS TRAINING AT THE HANOVER YMCA?PHYSICAL1. MUSCLE STRENGTH: GAINING MUSCLE STRENGTH THROUGH TUMBLING, JUMPING, STATIC FLEXING, AND HOLDING ONE'S OWN BODY WEIGHT IN VARIOUS POSITIONS HELPS CHILDREN DEVELOP STRONG AND POWERFUL BODIES.2. HEALTHY BONES: THESE SAME TYPES OF MOVEMENTS ASSIST CHILDREN WITH DEVELOPING STRONG HEALTHY BONES SINCE GYMNASTICS IS A WEIGHT-BEARING ACTIVITY. 3. FLEXIBILITY: THE ABILITY TO MOVE THE MUSCLES THROUGH THEIR FULL RANGE OF MOTION.NON-PHYSICALOUR GYMNASTICS PROGRAM PROVIDES STIMULATING AGE-APPROPRIATE CURRICULUM AND TERRIFIC INSTRUCTORS WHO CARE ABOUT THEIR STUDENTS, AND HELP THEM YIELD OTHER IMPORTANT NON-PHYSICAL BENEFITS FROM THEIR GYMNASTICS. COGNITIVE AND SOCIAL BENEFITS MIGHT NOT BE AS OBVIOUS AS A TONED MUSCLE, BUT THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THEY ARE THERE.1. COGNITIVE BENEFITS: WHEN CHILDREN ARE ENGAGING IN GYMNASTICS, THEY ARE EXERCISING THEIR BRAINS AS WELL AS THEIR BODIES. EVERY TIME YOU SEND YOUR CHILD TO GYMNASTICS CLASS, HE/SHE IS ENGAGING IN PHYSICAL EXERCISE THAT ENCOURAGES HEALTHY BRAIN FUNCTION. NERVE CELLS MULTIPLY AND CONNECTIONS IN THE BRAIN ARE STRENGTHENED. IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT CHILDREN WHO ARE ENGAGING IN CONSISTENT PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LIKE GYMNASTICS ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET BETTER GRADES THAN THEIR INACTIVE PEERS.2. SOCIAL SKILLS: CHILDREN CAN ALSO BENEFIT SOCIALLY FROM ENGAGING IN GYMNASTICS. ASIDE FROM SIMPLY INTERACTING WITH OTHER CHILDREN IN THEIR CLASS, WE ENCOURAGE TEAMWORK AND PARTNER DRILLS IN THEIR PRACTICES. THE MORE CHILDREN CAN INTERACT WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF CHILDREN BOTH IN SCHOOL AND AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMMING, THE MORE THEY WILL LEARN HOW TO HANDLE CONFLICT AND POSITIVELY RELATE TO OTHERS.3. REDUCED RISKY BEHAVIOR: GYMNASTICS PROVIDES A STABLE, RELIABLE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY SOURCE FOR BOTH CHILDREN AND TEENS. YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE CONSISTENTLY PHYSICALLY ACTIVE ARE MUCH LESS LIKELY TO ENGAGE IN USING TOBACCO, ALCOHOL, OR OTHER DRUGS. WHEN CHILDREN CAN FIND POSITIVE, ACTIVE WAYS TO KEEP BUSY IN A PLACE THAT YOU CAN TRUST, THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO MAKE UP WAYS TO OCCUPY THEIR TIME THAT COULD LEAD TO POOR OR RISKY CHOICES.4. CONFIDENCE: WHILE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TENDS TO REDUCE FEELINGS OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY, OUR INSTRUCTORS HELP CHILDREN DEVELOP AN "I CAN" ATTITUDE THAT CAN GIVE THEM THAT INTANGIBLE HIGH OF KNOWING THEY CAN COUNT ON THEMSELVES TO SUCCEED.5. CHARACTER: WE HAVE INCORPORATED AGE-APPROPRIATE CHARACTER EDUCATION INTO OUR TEAM PROGRAM. CHILDREN LEARN RESPECT, SELF-CONTROL, RESPONSIBILITY, CONFIDENCE, SPORTSMANSHIP AND OTHER CHARACTER- BASED CONCEPTS THAT HELP THEM STRIVE TO BECOME THEIR VERY BEST BOTH WITHIN THE GYMNASTICS CLUB AND OUT IN THE COMMUNITY.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
