Being on Time

While we understand that all sorts of factors affect your ability to arrive at training on time, it is very important that you do.

Warm-up and conditioning are done at the beginning of the training and set the tone for that training session. In the case of younger gymnasts, we do not have to ability to run individual supervised warm-ups every 10 minutes. Your son will feel rushed and will not have had a thorough warm-up.

Regular conditioning is vital to acquiring new skills and allows the gymnast to maintain the required body tension to successfully perform not only individual skills, but to also have the endurance to perform a routine.

It doesn’t take long to lose the physical attributes of strength and flexibility. Doing the correct action with good form for the required number of repetitions regularly will lead to increased results and therefore better gymnastic with a reduction in injuries.
