Developing gymnastics skills

Gymnastics has always been something the children have been interested in, attending lessons once a week since the age of three.

With so many other things on during the week and other sports taking priority though, the children haven’t been able to develop their gymnastics skills as well as they would have liked.

However, they are really keen to improve and develop their skills and practicing at home is something they do constantly, teaching the little ones all their moves.

Head over Heels About Gymnastics has launched a children’s book following the success of its range of instructional books, DVDs and apps for children. The instructional books help children learn the basics of gymnastics which enables them to put together a routine by the end of the instructional book – this is a great way to keep children amused and active whilst learning.

It’s a great way for children to learn independently and to set themselves challenges – the summer holidays is a great time for this!

Ahead of the end of year gymnastics showcase, this book helped to perfect a few skills. My big girl wants to concentrate on her splits over the holidays, she’s determined to get there and I’m sure she will.

  1. I think gymnastics is great for kids. My son unfortunately isn’t too keen on it but I hope my daughter will be when she’s older 🙂

  2. My two boys love gymnastics and have been going up to three times a week since being 5 and 3! These books would help them perfect skills but also help me with teaching at school. Fingers crossed x

  3. I would love this for my 2 little ones, my 3yo starts gymnastics in October and my daughter will start soon as she turns 2.

  4. I’d love to win this for my daughter! She’s really getting into Gymnastics at the moment but she’s struggling to learn the best and safest way to do lots of moves that she really wants to do!
    She would ‘flip out’ if she won this! ?

  5. My granddaughter wants to learn more about gymnastics but cannot afford to go to a club so this is just what she needs. She is very good and had a crash mat for her birthday this week.

  6. My neice would love this. She’s a huge fan of Gymnastics and it’s a great sport to keep fit and active plus you can practice for free at home a lot of the moves. x

  7. What a great idea! My children both used to do gymnastics but become bored of it and it didn’t last more than a few months, I think my daughter would definiately have enjoyed following the routines in the book and being able to complete a routine independently

  8. My little girl loves gymnastics and she would love a book like this which would help her to develop her gymnastic skills!

  9. i’d give them to my daughter. she’s nervous about attending proper classes, so this might be a good starter

  10. My 9 year old has recently started gymnastics and is forever practicing in the garden creating a bare patch, this would be a lovely book to help and guide her to practice effectively at home

  11. My 9 year old daughter borrowed one of these from the library and loved it – so would definitely give the prize to her!

  12. My grandson Riley is very interested in starting gymnastics classes so I would give them to him to encourage him !

  13. Id give them to my niece Grace who has just started her gymnastics classes so this would really help 🙂

  14. Definitely my daughter as part of her xmas presents. I was an elite gymnast and my daughter who is 4 is showing a great interest and so eagerly watched the olympics.

  15. My 6 year old has just started going to gymnastics classes and she’s always putting on shows for us. She would absolutely love these books!

  16. I would give this lovely book to our youngest daughter. Since she saw the gymnastics on the Olympics she has constantly been doing cartwheels, perfecting handstands and performing her own versions of floor routines. This would be perfect for her!

  17. My mum, who spends her spare time teaching basic gymnastic skills to children. These would be perfect for her and her kids

  18. My daughter Helen who is 5. She is on the waiting list for the local gymnastics club and is desperate to learn.
