Tiny Tumble – This Week’s Adventure
Theme: Wild West Week! 🤠
Our Tiny Tumblers are saddling up for a Western-themed adventure with cowboy hats, boots, and all!
We love seeing creativity and dress-ups in class, so feel free to bring your little one dressed as their favourite cowboy or cowgirl.
Gym Kids Focus
This week our Gym Kids are working on beam balance with a beanbag on the head – a fun challenge that builds focus, posture, and coordination.
Drill: Walk steadily along the beam while keeping the beanbag in place.
This exercise helps develop the balance and multitasking needed for more advanced skills.
Check out Chavi (Level 6) performing a full turn on beam at the National Clubs Carnival – the perfect example of balance and focus in action!
Futures Skill Spotlight: Level 5 Back Walkover
This week’s spotlight focuses on our Futures Level 5’s Back Walkovers!
Our coaches are helping gymnasts build control, alignment, and strong shoulder positioning.
Key Technique Tips:
- Stack the shoulders: In the inverted split, push tall through the shoulders to stay strong and supported.
- Square the hips: Keep hips aligned and glutes engaged for a stable, straight line.
- Stay flexible: Shoulder and hip flexibility make it easier (and safer!) to hit the right shapes.
