Dear Milwaukee Area Parents,

 

Would you like to add variety to your son or daughter’s physical education program?  Why not try the SOKOL GYMNASTICS program.  It might be the right fit for your child. 

Sokol (the Czech word for “falcon”) is a gymnastics and cultural organization with the motto: “a sound mind in a sound body.”  Our local Sokol unit was created by Czech and Slovak immigrants to Milwaukee and is now celebrating its 141st year.  In addition to gymnastics classes for both boys and girls our organization promotes cultural education by participation in the annual Holiday Folk Fair International (www.folkfair.org), at our traditional Czech dinners, with a Czech/Moravian Dance group and through other projects.  But you don’t have to have to have any Czech ancestry to join Sokol!

Our recreational gymnastics program will introduce your child to the basics of gymnastics in a welcoming, fun atmosphere. Gymnastics improves coordination, strength, flexibility and self-confidence and is a perfect complement to other sports. Our high instructor to student ratio ensures individual instruction.  With the Sokol program, students move at their own pace through a progression from simple to more difficult skills.


We hold an annual interclass meet and our gymnasts have competed with other Sokol units at district meets in Chicago however our focus is primarily on learning skills rather competition. While Sokol provides a perfect introduction to gymnastics it is possible to go as far as you want with the program.  Several of our current gymnasts have gone on to attend Sokol’s National Instructors schools and returned to join our teaching staff. 

 

A unique feature of the Sokol program is the incorporation of group calisthenics routines done to music.

Currently classes are held Tuesday evenings, 6:45 to 9:15 pm, at the Norway House, 7507 W. Oklahoma (next to Classic Lanes).  Because we are a non-profit organization we can offer our classes at a very reasonable cost compared to other private gymnastics clubs.   Our classes run from September through May.  Fees for the entire season are $125 for one child ($100 for each additional child).
