Gymnastics

 

In fall 2006, as Cathy was needing to find a sport, and Jake having done basketball and baseball in past season and looking for a new challenge, Lee and Louis had a brainwave... let's get one sport that all of us can do together! After short discussion, we found it: Gymnastics. It started off innocently enough. A few hours on a Saturday morning, every one from Elize to Jake, Mom an Dad in one locaiton. Well within a year or two that would change as the kids got better, made team and needed to practice, practice, practice.

 

Jake competed Level 4 team in 2009, Cathy continues on, reaching Level 6 in 2010.

 

Training... a work in process...

 

 

Gymnastics is not an organized spectator sport...
Like most parents with a child entering Gymnastics, we have discovered that lack of apparently basic information or knowledge sharing avialble in the local sport of Gymnastics. Most is gleaned by trial and error over time from parents and meet experience. To help, here is a compilation of websites we have found to be handy as we endeavor to help our children be the best they can be!
