🧡 What Does "Start With Heart" Really Mean at Delta and Barron Valley?

"We walk in with our head held high and a smile on our face because we want to be here and believe in what we are doing. Loving what we do makes the good times better and the tough times worth it."
You might have noticed these words displayed around the venue, but how does "Start With Heart" show up in your child's weekly gymnastics class?

At the heart of Delta Gymnastics lies this fundamental philosophy: everything we do should be driven with passion and care. Beyond teaching movement, skills and routines, we view gymnastics as a way to instil character, confidence, and life lessons that stay with our kids & athletes forever. Our love for nurturing children—and watching them grow, learn, and succeed—is what keeps us going every day.

Left and right brain thinking starts with Left and Right Moving!

Mastering ‘LATERALITY’ (our two sides) - affects not only fluent movement but how much of our BRAIN we can access. Most children will begin to show dominance for one side or the other well before school and not just for right or left hand – Children may be right handed, kick left foot, listen with the right ear more and cartwheels come more naturally to the left. A DOMINANT side helps ‘specialize’ & streamline our movements. Learning lots this week in our Junior GymKids theme!

"I thought he was too young to get anything out of it. I was so wrong." Happy Parent.

Our Explorer and Mover classes (18 months – 3 years) aren't just play time. They're purposeful movement that builds the foundations for physical and cognitive development, in and out of the gym.
Parents often tell us they're surprised by how much their toddler learns — and how much they look forward to class each week.

DID YOU KNOW?
Gymnastics is often called the foundation sport — and for good reason.
The strength, balance, coordination, and body awareness developed in gymnastics transfer directly to almost every other sport: football, swimming, skiing, athletics, dancing.
Many elite athletes across all disciplines started in the gym — not because they were going to become gymnasts, but because it gave them a movement foundation for everything else.

What does our core value of 'One Team' look like at Barron Valley?
It looks like a group of Gym Kids huddled around their teammate, cheering her on as she attempts the skill she's been working on for weeks. When she lands it, they celebrate like they landed it too.
That's not coached. That's culture.
We are part of something bigger than ourselves. We care for one another. And no one gets left behind.

The best coaches don't just teach skills. They teach children what they're capable of.
Every "you've got this" before a scary skill. Every patient explanation on the third, fourth, fifth attempt. Every celebration of progress — not just perfection.
Our coaches help children discover something powerful: I can do hard things.

Why do we teach left and right in gymnastics?
Because crossing the midline — reaching your left hand to your right side, or stepping one foot over the other — helps build connections between the two sides of the brain.
These movements support coordination, concentration, and learning to read and write.
Left and Right theme is teaching our Junior Gym Kids so much more than directions.
