Human
beings are pretty much born with an inbuilt predisposition towards gymnastics,
beginning that wonderful process of discovering just what our bodies
are capable of, virtually from day one!
Visit any schoolyard playground
at lunchtime & you’ll see
some of the fundamentals of gymnastics in action: running, jumping,
swinging, balancing - children exploring the joy of movement & the
satisfaction of mastering new skills.
The types of physical & mental skills learnt in gymnastics are
in fact foundation stones for many other sports. Which is why the NSW
Department of Education includes gymnastics as part of their curriculum
for years kindy to sixth grade. Perhaps it is also why gymnastics featured
at the earliest reported Olympic Games in Athens in 776 BC!
Why gymnastics?
Because:
 |
You want to foster the essentials
of co-ordination, balance, strength & flexibility. |
|
You want your child to understand the connection
between effort & achievement, persistence & reward. |
|
Your child seem to be spending more time upside
down than right way up (on your good furniture) – & enjoys
it immensely! |
|
You want your child to experience the fun & friendship
of teamwork, plus the satisfaction of individual accomplishment. |
So give your child a flying start in life through the Sport of Gymnastics!
