McCharles presentations at Region 2 Congress

Rick McCharles

Just getting prepared for my 4 sessions for Region 2 Gymnastics Congress (R2R), Spokane, Washington October 19—21, 2007.

Computers and the internet for coaches

Are computers just time-wasters? Or can they help you do a better job in the gym?

Have more FUN in the gym (the “science of fun”)

The Canadian gymnastics philosophy is Fun, Fitness, Fundamentals. First priority is Fun.

An overview of dozens of activities that will make your gym a happier, more productive place.

Video presentation: Advanced gymnastics for boys and girls

Select gymnastics video clips you’ve likely not seen. Some are from Australia, some from the internet. Most time will be spent on unique drills used by British coach Paul Hall who had both male and female athletes competing at Worlds 2007.

Using circuits to teach floor and vault to class kids

The art and science of building circuits in the gym. Best practice.

Detailing the BEST ways to utilize circuits in the gym is particularly fascinating to write-up, I’m finding. I will post this topic on Gymnastics Coaching after I present a similar Circuits session at the British Columbia Congress, end of October.

Hope to see you at one or the other Congress.
