    Coaches Game ideas for tumbling classes?

I usually do lots of stretching and drag it out, then I make an obstacle course and have them do that for the rest of class. What games could I add...

    WAG Getting out of gym or other classes

    For those kids who are not homeschooled, do your schools make accommodations for their hours? We just went through a huge battle with ours. She's 21 hours a week and homework is a mad scramble.

    WAG Missing a meet for classes?

    So I'm going to a meet. It's not exactly an in-house meet, but it's the equivalent. It's not a big meet, they don't give out medals, our gym usually sweeps, etc. However, it's a meet where everyone tries out their new, fun skills and has a bit of a de-stress before states. Okay, my problem: at...

    WAG Advanced Toddler Classes?

    Coaches How you run competitive classes

    How do you run your events during a competitive/pre competitive class? Do you do a circuit, or stations with partners, or just have a list of stuff they go through (either written or verbal), or another way of them knowing what to do? What have you found to be the most effective to stop them...
