GUEST POSTS on Gymnastics Coaching

By site editor Rick McCharles

Pretty much every day I decline requests for sponsored posts. Those are mostly advertisements that look like a regular post.

But we do post guest articles.

So, if you’d like to summit something to this site, here are our guidelines for submissions:

What Content Do We Want?

  • Information of interest to Artistic Gymnastics coaches.
  • Things that are NEW. DIFFERENT. ORIGINAL.
  • Insider information not available elsewhere.
  • What’s happening in parts of the world not well covered by the gymternet now: Africa, China, S.E. Asia, etc.
  • Technology / Apps being used by coaches & judges
  • Suggestions on improving ethics, safety and general wellbeing of participants in acrobatic sport.

The more succinct, the better. But include visuals: graphics, photos, videos.

Your coaching history. Any links you’d like included.

There’s no payment or remuneration of any kind. This site now runs ad free.
