I’d love to have this stack of mats in the Gym.

BEFORE you teach flyaway

Visiting 40-50 gyms a year I see a common dynamic. Young girls doing tucked flyaway with spot off the low rail of Bars.

Fun. Easy. Seems, at the time, to work.

But that’s not the best way to teach flyaway. Instead use a wide range of drills that don’t require spotting. Here’s one set-up I like, appropriate for kids as young as age-5.

If you don’t have Rings, I’d highly recommend you buy a set. Fitness Rings are very inexpensive. Hang those on a rail at just the right height for your kids.

GAGE is the most unique training Gym I’ve visited.

Very clean. Very organized.

BEST are all the home made mats and training apparatus.

Tumbl Trak is selling Al Fong’s version of Bars spotting blocks.

#SheCanCoach campaign aims to fight idea that women can’t coach

Only 30% of all coaches in Ontario are women, according to the Coaches Association of Ontario

We need encourage women to spot Bars, in particular.

Thanks Kim.

spotting is not illegal … yet

Still, the less spotting the better in my opinion. Assign more physical and technical progressions. Wait longer before doing the full skill with spot.
