Gymnastics BC Recreational Parkour

Now that FIG has adopted a form of Parkour / Free Running, some nations will start to formalize the activity. That’s a good thing. Many kids doing Parkour training at Gymnastics clubs are not as safe as they should be.

Gymnastics British Columbia wants to begin training instructors.

Canadian coaching course Kelowna

Congratulations to those coaches completing the WAG NCCP Competitive 2 course today at Okanagan Gymnastics Centre.

Great demonstrators were a highlight of the course. Brilliantly the host club credited parent volunteer hours for gymnasts volunteering over the long weekend.

Tatiana Kunitcyna from the host club took the course. But with her excellent background working at the highest level in Russia, she was also guest expert. Tatiana and Sergei Chelest coach Junior national team member Lucia Jakab.
