Description

Developed by ASEP in cooperation with USA Gymnastics, Coaching Youth Gymnastics covers all the basics of coaching and gymnastics in a concise style that is customized for entry-level gymnastics coaches. Techniques and skills for bars, floor, balance beam, and vault are presented by skill level rather than by age groups and are applicable to both boys and girls where appropriate. This book will help you to create an environment that promotes learning, enjoyment, safety, and motivation for youth gymnasts.
