GYMNASTICS AT HOME?

...though, is this statement. I myself grew up with a trampoline in the back yard. Neither I, nor any of my friends, neighbors, or siblings were ever injured.

The important thing to remember is that 99% of the kids who do any gymnastics at home are perfectly fine. But, reasonably speaking, kids get hurt. They skin knees, they fall down, they bump heads, they even break bones. We can’t stop this, and the literature tells us that kids who never get hurt aren’t challenging themselves, and aren’t physically active enough. We need to be prepared for an emergency, should it occur, but never allow children to shy away from physical exercise because of its inherent dangers. It also seems relevant to mention that home gymnastics equipment does not replace the need for a qualified instructor, and Gymnastics Revolution does not promote any parent coaching their child, or requiring the use of that home equipment. In another article, I will discuss the role of the parent for the aspiring gymnast, but for now, suffice it to say that gymnastics is a wonderful part of many children’s lives, and that can and should certainly extend to the home.

With the proper safety standards, and a little good judgment, we can minimize the risks, and maximize the enjoyment of gymnastics.
