Hi Guys,
I'm a young coach looking to start a boys' development group in a predominantly WAG club. I have had some experience coaching development level boys aged 7 - 12 with varying success. I have been following
Gymnastic Bodies first with BtGB and then with the Foundation and Handstand programme.
My questions are:
- Is Foundation 1 suitable for use with young boys beginning their journey into lower competitive MAG?
- Is a 5 x 60s or 5 x 15r template optimal for this age group or should this be reduced (I remember a note regarding volume for the very young in BtGB).
- From a coaching perspective, would you recommend having the whole group (6-12 gymnasts) work each progression together or allow some to move on at the risk of not being able to supervise closely all exercises.
- Has anybody had any other experience coaching this type of group that they'd like to share?
I looking to start my UK CC L1 in MAG in the next 2 months, and would be setting up a class around this time.
I wanted to ask the same for Handstand 1 but I will leave this out of the F1 forum.
Thanks Everyone!
