Hi,
I have been coaching for quite a while, but mainly in the 8-12 age range, but soon I am going to start coaching 5 - 6 years olds. So I was just wondering if you need to make things a bit easier for this age range. Is it alright to get them doing things like handstands, cartwheels, pullovers on bars straight away, or do they need an intermediate step before starting these skills? What other skills are good for this age?
