Does anyone know of any child development training that a gymnastics club could put coaches through?
It could be anything from Youtube videos to an online paid certification. The only thing it can't really be is a college course.
What are your thoughts on the subject of coach eduction in...

I read some old threads but didn't find the information I'm seeking.
I used to work concessions at concerts and pro sports games through the gym booster nonprofit to help cover costs for meet fees, leos, etc. The booster club was really good at keeping themselves (and all of us) legal.

I've never fully watched any Worlds, or even the Olympics (other than zooming through DVR to see who I wanted to see.)

In a few weeks my 6th grader will be going with her class on a 4 day 3 night overnight "field trip" with the school for the Outdoor Ed program. They will spend the 4 days outside on the bay learning about the environment and conducting various hands on experiments that will teach them about the...
Hello,
I am an experienced physical therapist, Kathy Tooman PT. I am interested in helping young gymnasts, parents, and coaches develop conditioned, strong, and flexible gymnasts. A gymnast who is conditioned, learns faster, gets hurt less, and just has more fun. Glad to share information in...

I ask because, I constantly seem to run into discrepancies with the girls I...
