Haylee: KidMotion Milestone Moment!
Haylee is part of the KidMotion program and the PMC Performance Team. She has been working hard to improve her gymnastics skills, and in August, she made a HUGE achievement and mastered her Bridge Kick Over, which she worked very had on over the course of a few months.
By consistently working on her shoulder and back flexibility, she was able to master the bridge portion of this skill, and the eventually, worked her way to kicking over all by herself!
Haylee keeps pushing herself and improving her skillset by making sure she is doing her shoulder and back stretches during class and has seen a lot of progress due to this hard work!
Way to go, Haylee!
Your KidMotion family is cheering you on!
