I am thrilled to begin a new year of training with all of my gymnasts. Great things are in store for them. All of the gymnasts will be challenged with the right level of skill for their ability. This means enough difficulty to make things challenging, but not so difficult as to be overwhelming.
Our first lesson is the peanut ball. All of the gymnasts love to see this piece of equipment. It's been requested many times! We are doing forward rolls and back limber over it. Very advanced gymnasts are doing front limbers over it.
We are also working on eye - hand coordination with the balls. These skills will give your child an advantage when they join a basket ball, base ball or volley ball team. Coaches love to have players who have gymnastics experience.
Please encourage your child to do their gymnastics 'homework', better yet, do it with them! This will be a real treat for your child.
