Floor Training Bar: $169.00

An excellent product. And safer for the wrists than the flat floor.

Dozens of coaches have been consulted on a new resource, a home handstand training program.

The first reaction of most was: “I’m not sure I want my kids doing too many handstands at home. They’ll practice bad habits.”

But I was quickly won over. This is going to work. Kids are going to do handstands at home — so let’s have them practice as correctly and safely as possible.

Just in time for Christmas, the package is available worldwide for $361. Or you can buy the pieces separately.

One sensible Australian principal.

BELMONT Primary School has declared itself a cartwheeling and handstanding school.

Banning either of these typically joyful childhood activities because of a concern about safety is just “overkill”, according to principal Mark Arkinstall.

If fact, Mr Arkinstall is adamant it is his school’s role to develop students’ physical capabilities as much as it is to work on their academic skills which is why climbing is also allowed.

Mr Arkinstall spoke out yesterday in response to news of a NSW primary school banning its students from doing handstands and cartwheels unless under the supervision of a trained gymnastics teacher.

“It seems to be a bit silly, you’d never get out of bed in the morning if you took that attitude,” Mr Arkinstall said. …
