Now you can teach or coach gymnastics—even if you don't have a gymnastics background—and ensure that every child learns and succeeds.

Teaching FUNdamental Gymnastics Skills is a hands-on guide that provides you with a strong foundation in exploratory gymnastics skills as well as formal gymnastics skills and helps you bridge the gap between the two approaches.

A unique feature of Teaching FUNdamental Gymnastics Skills is the use of specific verbal cues for different learning styles. You'll get "kinder" cues appropriate for young learners, plus cues that address these learning styles:

• logical/mathematical

• visual/spatial

• bodily/kinesthetic

• musical/rhythmical

• verbal/linguistic

The book covers these essential teaching topics:

• Foundational positions and movements that form the building blocks for all gymnastics skills

• How fundamental skills fit together to make complex movements and sequences

• Common errors in gymnastics skills and how to correct them

• Hard-to-find safety information, including injury prevention and tips for spotting

This well-organized book also covers skill progressions and lead-ups for floor, beam, springboard/vault, and bars. Each skill includes practical information you can use for individual or small-group work at stations: a complete description, common errors, spotting information, and checklists.

Additional special features include the following:

• A movement chart in each chapter outlines the skill progressions

• Sequential illustrations clarify skill sequences and progressions

• A skillfinder chart makes it easy to find skill descriptions based on level ofdifficulty

Learn how to deliver effective and safe gymnastics instruction in an educational setting, no matter what your experience or comfort level. Teaching FUNdamental Gymnastics Skills is a great way to get started in teaching gymnastics, build students' confidence, and introduce fun programs. ... Read more

very good
A well written book though only 4 stars asopposed to 5 as I would have liked some drill techniques and progressions rather than just how to do the exercise. In any case, still worth getting for a pe teacher who isn't sure about gymnastics

A great resource
This book has been a great resource for my staff. The organization makes skills easy to find. It lists common mistakes and how to correct them and also includes lead-up skills and drills. The instructors feel more confident in their knowledge as they help each child progress. ... Read more

GO GO GO!
This is the first book I ever read about triathlons and it got me kick-started into the sport.It is clear, precise and exceptionally motivating. What helps me the most is the advice on how to divide up the workouts by week and how much emphasis to place on each sport.When this book was first published, LSD (long, slow distance!) was the keyword and this book helped me to develop that in my training and not get discouraged.It made me, an average middle-of-the-pack athlete, feel like a winner! ...

A must handbook for any decathlete or track fan.
Dr. Zarnowski provides a throroughguide for any level of decathlete from beginner to Mastersathletes. The author develops the textfrom a historical perspectiveand walks the reader/athlete through the rules,equipment, training, and insightful competition tips that will benefitathletes of all ages. This bookis not a one time read. This is a handbookthat you will read over and over and it will be in training bag - not onyour shelf. I am sure with the authors expertise in the event this couldhave been decathlons version of "War And Peace", but the writingis concise, entertaining and not over layden with training jargon. A mustfor your library. ... Read more
