25.01.2022 Its always good to break up hard training with a fun activity - still RG based of course !!!!!

24.01.2022 Slow motion split leaps for gymnasts to review themselves & improve

24.01.2022 Mara & Tanya spent an hour or so with the lovely Coaches at Alpha Gymnastics showing them some ball & hoop handling they can use in their programs. It was wonderful sharing gymnastics information & we learnt quite a few different handlings that we will use from them. Thanks coaches.

24.01.2022 Fantastic job Tash & Maddy. 1st & 2nd place in the online competition

24.01.2022 Kara Kara wishes you a great 2021

23.01.2022 Screening Back Bending in Young Gymnasts - - Across many sports that involve repeated hyperextension skills (gymnastics, dance, ballet, tumbling) I get aske...d a lot 1. If back pain is normal and 2. why rates of injuries are so common. My response is always - its definitely not normal, and should not be accepted as just part of training. That said, its common so we need to do a better job of thinking outside of the box to find better solutions for the extremely high rates of injuries. - - Although there are many factors that must be addressed like workloads, proper strength programs, and updated flexibility methods, one of the most glaring problems that many people dont address is that young athletes are simply not taught how to properly backbend, and they are not held accountable for proper movement patterns during sports skills. Young hypermobile gymnasts often just "show off" their large ranges of motion without control or without building strength to protect themselves over 1000s of repetitions. - - Its not that using lumbar dominated motions is "bad for someone" and that just because they have a hinge point on a movement screen that means they will get a stress fracture. But, especially in developing athletes we should be encouraging them to spread the force of sports skills across as many joints as possible. In this case, that means attempting to use the shoulders, thoracic spine, and hips equally as much as the lower back, approximately 25% each. - - In this video, I point out a simple drill and some cues to use to help young athletes learn how to go about this. If properly built when young with basic skills, this can be carried through an entire career to increase performance and reduce lower back injury risk. Hope it helps! See more

13.01.2022 Did you know that Ballroom Dancing was first enjoyed as a form of socialization? It was first experienced by aristocrats in the early times as a part of thei...r gatherings where couples would dance side by side facing the king! But since we love dancing so much, the commoners eventually practiced Ballroom Dancing through their unique folk dances! Since the beginning of time, we love dancing so much, and let's keep on dancing especially this National Ballroom Dance Week! . . . . . #nationalballroomdanceweek #ballroomdancing

13.01.2022 Hi there! Im Kelsi and I am currently undergoing some research based on how participating in sports can impact teenage mental health for my Year 12 Research Project. I was wondering if you would be able to pass on a survey to a few members of your club or post it on your Facebook group for some participants to complete if they get a chance. If you are able to do so the link is at the bottom of this message and it only takes 10 minutes or so to complete. Even one or two more results would greatly benefit my research and Id appreciate it a lot ! Thanks in advance and I hope you have a good day https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx

08.01.2022 How Social Groups Impact Stress From reading a lot of stress neuroendocrinology research, it's wild to see that social groups can make a huge impact on if an a...thlete is resilient or vulnerable to stress. Healthy and well established social support is a huge buffer of high stress, whereas unhealthy and a lack of social support may be an amplifier of high stress. Very important to consider in our lives but also when working with youth athletes!
