Steve Butcher leaves FIG

The former FIG MTC will leave his job in Switzerland, returning to take a position with the Powers Gymnastics group in Houston.

Steve will definitely be missed overseeing international meets. But we thank him for his endless energy and enthusiasm in the international spotlight through his years at FIG.

CHN competes tumbling trampoline

For me the most useful piece of equipment in any Gym is the tumbling trampoline.

High reps. Less stress. Fewer overuse injuries. Good form and technique.

Very helpful for everyone.

It was Tumbl Trak founder Doug Davis who first popularized tumbling trampolines.

In fact, Doug saw a homemade version being used by a coach from Quebec. And asked if he could start making them himself.
