It’s so important to keep our kids hydrated, especially when the weather gets hot. Some creative ideas to encourage water intake are offering water in colorful, fun cups with curly straws or infusing their water with fresh fruit. It pays to help your child develop healthy hydration habits early on.
Program Highlight: Ninja Classes
Ninja and Fun Fitness classes combine the fundamentals learned in gymnastics, martial arts and obstacle course training to improve coordination, build strength and endurance, and improve agility. Both class curriculums are designed to keep kids moving and having fun while building their confidence to take on new challenges. Beyond the physical benefits, students learn life skills they will carry with them outside of the gym. Students will learn to channel energy in a positive direction, set and manage goals, conduct impulse control and develop self-discipline.
Students in our preschool classes learn everything from gross and fine motor skills to progressive gymnastics skills on our large variety of fun equipment specially designed for young children. The class curriculums and stimulating instructions are designed to encourage students to explore the exciting and positive elements of fitness, increase concentration and introduce spatial awareness. Emphasis is also placed on developing social, emotional, and physical confidence as children explore a new and dynamic environment in the company of other tots being introduced to the world of gymnastics.
Program Highlight: Tumbling Classes
Tumbling and Trampoline classes teach children how to roll, cartwheel and flip, and progress to more difficult skills as they are ready. Class time is spent on trampoline, double mini, Tumbl Trak, floor and rope. Children safely learn to jump, tuck, twist and flip using our assorted trampolines. Other pieces of equipment may be introduced into the class such as bars, climbing net and beam to continue building strength, coordination, flexibility and technique. These classes are grouped by age and good for the beginner and intermediate athlete.
Summer Camp at Silver Stars is going to be epic! 🤸🏾♀️Join us for weekly camp, where we provide an awesomely fun place for your child to learn gymnastics, make new friends, and burn some energy. We have hundreds of pieces of equipment and trampolines where children can safely learn to jump, tuck, twist and flip. 🤸🏿♂️Full-day and half-day programs are available, as well as extended hours, if needed. New this year is Half Day PM.
Summer heat is here! And with that comes the sun. Even though the sun brings us sunshine, fun outdoor activities and vitamin D, we need to remember to protect our little one's from its rays. Here are the key ways to protect kids' skin:
Use Sunscreen
All kids need to wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Make sure it's broad-spectrum (protects against both UVA and UVB rays) and, if kids are in or near water, is labeled water-resistant. Apply liberally and re-apply often.
Avoid the Strongest Rays of the Day
Try to stay in the shade when the sun is at its strongest (usually from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). If kids are in the sun during this time, apply and reapply sunscreen — even if they're just playing in the backyard. Remember that even on cloudy, cool, or overcast days, UV rays can damage our skin.
Cover Up
One of the best ways to protect skin is to cover up. Use clothes, accessories, tents, umbrellas, etc to keep the sun at bay.
Wear Sunglasses
Sun exposure damages the eyes as well as the skin. The best way to protect eyes is to wear sunglasses that provide 100% UV protection.
We can finally kick off the summer! Be safe and enjoy the weekend!
Classes resume Tuesday, May 31st
Session 5 Classes are have begun! Our curriculum is specially designed to allow students to join at any time during the session. Come see what everyone is flipping over!

Do you think you know it? Leave a comment below.
While Silver Stars is known for expertly guiding children through all aspects of balance beam routines, trampolines and rope climbing, Kids' Night Out offers children the chance to explore the various apparatuses at their own pace. These events take place on the second and fourth Saturday evenings of every month highlighting all the fun of Open Gym, but as a drop-off program. We offer Free play, moon bounce, movies, games, pizza and more!
Decisions….
Baby Stars emphasizes exploration and personal development in the new world presented to our growing stars. Silver Stars provides them the opportunity to explore their physical abilities and enhance their cognitive and social development through movement and play in an environment specially created for little ones. This class is designed to develop a new gymnast’s balance, strength, coordination and confidence as they take their very critical first steps in life.

Session 4 at Silver Spring is Open for Registration! The spots in class go fast, so sign up now!
There are so many skills in gymnastics that range from beginner to advanced. Can you name this one?
Sports aren't just a way to get the kids out of the house. They are actually critical to a child's development. Here are 6 ways that fun activities in sports help develop life skills.
1. Counting
If your child is working on learning numbers, keeping score is a great way to practice!
2. Addition and Subtraction
Once kids have mastered counting, they can take it to the next level by incorporating positive and negative numbers. Each time you score a goal, you can add by 1. You can even make it funny! Each time you step out of bounds, you have to take your shot from -1 step away from your normal spot.
3. Greater Than and Less Than
We keep score not so much to be competitive, but to help our kids understand the concept of greater than and less than. For example, 10 points is greater than 8 points. It’s an example of a practical use for math in everyday life that makes sense to kids right away.
4. Gross Motor Coordination
Running, throwing, and kicking are all forms of gross motor activities. These movements involve the entire body, increasing muscle tone and coordination. Improved coordination and balance will help your kids in many aspects of their daily lives.
5. Fine Motor Skills
Fine motor skills are more refined, precise movements. Catching a tennis ball or putting in golf are two examples of fine motor skills that kids can practice.
6. Good Sportsmanship
This is perhaps the most important thing that kids learn from sports, in both team and individual activities. Good sportsmanship means learning how to follow instructions, take turns, and win or lose with grace.
Snowy hair, don't care! We are open today (MLK Day) to have some Flippin' Fun!
We know it feels a bit warm to be planning for winter, but TRUST US, it is sooner than you think! Join us for winter break camp, as we provide an awesomely fun place for your child to learn gymnastics, make new friends, and burn some energy.

Full day and half day programs available, as well as extended hours if needed (on certain days). Children must be at least 3 ½ and potty trained to attend camp.
We are thrilled to announce that soon we will start our newest class program, Baby Stars! Baby Stars presents our youngest gymnasts the opportunity to explore their physical abilities and enhance their cognitive and social development through movement and play in an environment specially created for little ones. This class is designed to develop a new gymnast’s balance, strength, coordination and confidence as they take their very critical first steps in life.
Do kids need snacks? Absolutely! Do they get bored of having the same snacks in their lunchboxes? All the time. Do parents get stumped trying to incorporate protein-rich foods into their child's diets? Everyday. The good news is there are lots of foods that have protein in them, including ones that may surprise you. Here are some ideas.
Fall classes have officially begun! But, don't worry... there's still time to register. All of our class programs are designed for students of all ages and skill levels to enjoy the sport of gymnastics. Under the guidance of our first-rate coaching staff, our classes help your gymnast to develop essential skills while also focusing on their personal development with a focus on building self-confidence. Your family can select the class that best fits the goals of your gymnast, with options ranging from audience performance and competition training to recreation programs focused just on having fun with the great sport of gymnastics.
For all of the kiddos going back to school today, have a GREAT First Day!!

"Hope’s studio would be open to children of all abilities, of all ages and sizes. It would focus on building a well-balanced gymnast and a well-balanced child. Out of a mother’s love, Silver Stars was born. The vision was “gymnastics for every family.” In 1995, two years into Silver Stars’ journey, Hope opened her first permanent location for the gym in Silver Spring, Maryland."

Silver Stars Gymnastics updated their business hours.
Core strengthening is crucial for the progression of other developmental skills in not just gymnastics, but in every sport and daily activity. If your child doesn't have strong core muscles, balancing, executing coordinated movements, jumping, and performing essential arm and leg tasks will be difficult.
The key to strengthening these core muscles is making it fun! Have a family contest to see who can hold a plank the longest.
For a basic plank, plant hands directly under shoulders (slightly wider than shoulder width) like you’re about to do a push-up. Hold the position without allowing the butt to pop up in the air or the belly to sag.

#Repost @alissa_g.r with @make_repost ・・・ One thing I tell my class kids all the time is “Practice makes progress”! It’s true you can’t give up the first second or even the hundredth time doing a skill because chances are you will never get the skill if you’ve already convinced yourself you’ll never get it. Don’t let the challenges of skills overcome your thoughts! If you’re thinking about everything that can go wrong instead of what you need to do for the skill then you’ve got it all wrong #practicemakesprogress
