Week 3 - Beam and Handstands
14 Aug 2023 by Loren Greer
Happy Monday, Coaches! It is beam and Handstands week! Please focus on these. Teach kids how to properly get up on the beam AND safety jump off. The main reason kids are afraid is because they don't know how to fall without getting hurt. WE NEED TO TEACH this. Please view the recent uploaded documents for beginners and advanced beam week lesson plans. Please let Loren know if you have any questions or concerns. If you have trials, please talk to parents at the end of class and let them know what rainbow level they are. Take time to explain what that means and how we work through those to advance in class and to harder classes. Have a handstand contest! Kids LOVE it! Don't forget to encourage kids to show good sportsmanship within class and at home and school. Have fun coaches and please feel free to utilize the 'secret beam/bar' room if you feel like you can't get attention from kids or events are too full. Teach kids how to walk behind you to rotate(the gym is like the street) Teach Safety 1st. Make sure to do beam and bars for your 3rd rotation, Please focus on Vault. Have a great week coaches!
