Fall Classes at Virginia Techniques

The skilled instructors at Virginia Techniques offer classes to fit every need and dream. Many of the classes fill up quickly as demand is very high. Visit their website to explore all the classes on offer and register quickly!

*NEW* The Edge Classes: Beginning November 1, these new classes focus on speed, explosive movement, balance, agility, and core strength. If your athlete wants a competitive edge, this class will deliver! The Virginia Techniques team is offering three Edge classes: 

  • Competitive Edge
  • Elite Edge
  • Team Edge

Competitive Edge will benefit kids who play sports like soccer, baseball, wrestling, football, or basketball. Competitive Edge will cultivate balance, core strength, and agility so kids can become strong, well-rounded, injury-resistant athletes in any sport. 

Competitive Edge classes are ideal for athletes aged 7 to 11. 

Once athletes have built a strong foundation in Competitive Edge, they're ready to go to the limits in Elite Edge classes! These more advanced classes focus on speed, power, explosive movement, directional change, and mental fortitude. 

Elite Edge is ideal for athletes aged 11 to 17 participating in middle school, high school, and travel sports. 

Team Edge classes are designed to give your entire athletic team a competitive edge on the competition. The Virginia Techniques program director will customize each class to fit your team's fitness goals. Your athletes will gain strength, speed, and agility and cultivate teamwork and a strong bond. 

Preschool Classes: If your little one can walk, Virginia Techniques has a class for them! They'll have kids tumbling, jumping, skipping, and laughing their energy out while developing coordination, creative movement, body awareness, and other skills that will prepare them for any other sport. 

Your tiny tumblers will thrive in the supportive, fun environment as they learn to navigate skill-appropriate challenges. 

School-Age Classes: Children naturally have upper body and core strength. Each Virginia Techniques class is designed to channel kids' energy to help them learn valuable physical and mental skills. 

As children progress through healthy challenges, they gain mental and emotional skills like problem-solving, resilience, teamwork, and different forms of communication. Timid kids can gain confidence as they navigate new experiences and challenges. Confident children can build on their inner strength as they learn to take calculated risks. 

The class curriculum includes vault, bars, beam, floor, and trampoline instruction, so your child will be challenged to gain physical strength, flexibility, agility, and body awareness. These mental and physical skills will benefit them in everyday life and prepare them for most other sports. 

Virginia Techniques offers a wide range of school-age classes for kids aged 5 to 18. Fall classes will be starting soon! Visit the website to enroll and reserve your spot. 

Tumbling and Trampoline Classes: These sessions focus on tumbling skills, progressing from basic cartwheels and handstands to more complex flips and back handsprings. Kids love using the 40-foot tumbling trampoline, the in-ground trampoline, and the soft foam pit! 

These tumbling classes are for kids ages 6 to 18. The Virginia Techniques team is offering beginner and more advanced classes this fall. 

Ninja Zone Classes: These classes focus on the coordination and skills required for obstacle course training, martial arts, and other high-energy sports. If your kids are high-energy, this class is for them. They will love the fast-paced curriculum that emphasizes strength, agility, body coordination, and self-discipline. 

Ninja Zone instructors guide students through learning ninja-style flips, vaults, and other skills. Virginia Techniques is offering fall Ninja Zone classes for ages 3 through 13.

Whether you're looking for a healthy outlet for your toddler's boundless energy or a class to take your budding gymnast to the next level, Virginia Techniques has something for everyone this fall. Head over to their website and social media pages to learn more and enroll today!
