GAGE Summer Camp 2019
I visit a lot of clubs around the world.
The safest I’ve seen is GAGE in Kansas City, Missouri. Al builds a lot of his own equipment and matting to make circuits safer and more efficient.
If you want to see for yourself, consider registering for camp this summer.
related – Former GAGE gymnasts Sarah (Shire) Brown — currently Head Coach at Penn State — is very entertaining and eloquent in talking about her years at GAGE. Listen to that interview on GymCastic episode 358.
Precision Choreography camps, workshops, clinics
Nicole Langevin and team have over 30 events in the U.S.between now and October.
FIG Parkour Age Group Programme under development
FIG:
With the adoption of the new discipline of Parkour by the FIG Congress in December 2018, it became necessary to develop coach education programmes also for this discipline. …
The Parkour specialists that were invited to be members of the working group were Charles Perrière of France, the President of the FIG Parkour Commission, FIG Athletes’ Representative Micaela Buono Pugh of Argentina and Francisco de la Riva Vasquez of Belgium. …
It was an extraordinarily interesting meeting about a sport, many of whose participants believe in the values that Parkour should be discovered and cannot be taught and that the activity should not be competition oriented. But with the expectation that this will be an Olympic sport in 2024, things will change dramatically as athletes will most certainly be specifically trained from a young age.
The challenge was to find a solution that provides structure yet has ample room for freedom, innovation, discovery and creativity. The structure is necessary to assure the safe, healthy, gradual and systematic development of athletes towards future high-performance excellence. …
If FIG is going to run obstacle course competitions, obviously they need offer coach education.

Lee Woolls interview
Lee is one of the coaches in the world I admire most.
Check his YouTube channel to see what I mean.
Lee is Men’s Head Coach at City of Birmingham, having built it into a powerhouse over the past 11 years. He didn’t copy anyone. Lee rather tries to learn from everyone and anyone.
Though well known as a superb basics coach, he’s currently coaching 6 seniors including Dominick Cunningham and Joe Fraser.
The interview is excellent. Lee very down to earth. Easy to listen to.
