About

I've been coaching gymnastics at both the recreational and competitive level (Artistic) for the past 14 years.  I believe two things:

1. the activity of gymnastics teaches basic movement skills that everyone should have in order to lead successfully active lives
2. everyone should have the opportunity to experience gymnastics

Hence the name of the site - Gymnastics For Everyone.  The activity of gymnastics can be explored and experienced in a variety of different settings; at a gym club, at school, in a fitness gym, etc.  The instruction and tips on this site will focus on gymnastics in three settings:

• Gymnastics in the home - simple drills, skills and games that families can do in the home, or outside at a park or in the yard.
• In schools - through the KidsCanMove program.
• In Crossfit gyms.  

So you should be checking this site if you: 

• have kids, and want to explore basic gymnastics as a family
• are a teacher, and want simple ways to address the gymnastics that's expected in the learning outcomes for Physical Education in BC
• are a crossfitter 

On the main page will be posts concerning all three settings (in the home, at school, crossfit).  For resources and information specific to Crossfit or KidsCanMove - click on the menu buttons at the top.
