Australia 2007 – recreation boys gymnastics

Rick McCharles (many years ago) built the Altadore Gymnastics MAG program to over 400 boys.

Over the past 30 years that club has produced a number of international competitors and even an Olympic Champion — Kyle Shewfelt, Floor Exercise 2004.

But many clubs find offering boys recreational classes problematic. Discipline is a concern. Safety a concern. It is difficult to keep coaches.

Yet Rick feels it is quite possible to sign up one boy for every 3 girls in gymnastics classes. And that MAG boys greatly contribute to the overall health of a WAG program.
