Background Information:
It is important for parents to appreciate that gymnastics is an ‘Early Specialisation Sport’ – which means that gymnasts peak/ are at their best very early in their career, which means they must train hard when they are younger to reach their best.
While participating in a wide variety of sports and activities is extremely important to the overall development of a child and can help with certain areas of gymnastics, at this non-competitive level of gymnastics, the time needed to prepare the body and perfect skills will inevitably means children will have to specialise. We, the coaches, want to provide every opportunity for the gymnasts to reach their full potential.
The gymnast’s full potential can only be successfully, and healthily, achieved if all the aspects of training are looked after including adequate sleep, diet (healthy eating) and injury prevention.
