Gymnastics Canada Level 1 Introductory gymnastics (4th edition) and companion planning workbook.
Yup. It’s best English language gymnastics book available, in my opinion, succinctly explaining the movement pattern approach of principle author Keith Russell.
The 3-ring binder format allows you to add your own coaching resources.
The Coaching Level 2 and 3 manuals are also recommended though they have weak chapters and have not been revised in many years.
E-mail Gymnastics Canada for current prices as their website shop is “under development”. (Actually it’s been under development for months. Or years. … Don’t hold your breath.)
Far more than 100,000 copies of the Canadian Level 1 have been published making it, I believe, the biggest selling gymnastics coaching manual of all-time. You may find a copy in your local library.
Ruschkin Publishing is currently working on a major revision. I’ve seen drafts. It looks great.
