Quantum Points
. . . is designed to offer gymnasts a fun and creative way to learn
about the sport and art of gymnastics
in addition to lessons he or she will use throughout life.
Participation in this program is completely optional.
A gymnast may do as little or as much as she likes.
Those who participate will have the option to learn even more about
dance, gymnastics, physical training,
mechanics and last but not least . . . nutrition and healthy bodies.
Their gymnastics will improve as
they
learn correct form and acquire an understanding not only of gymnastics,
but also dance
and the world of movement. Gymnasts will gain more self-esteem and
learn valuable lessons that will follow them throughout life.
How
does it work?
Gymnasts will receive points in the categories listed above. The
system will be modified for the
younger ones as some categories are too difficult. More info here
in the near future on the point system
for the little ones. I am interested in hearing fun ideas
for the younger ones, specifically the 5 and 6 year olds!
Categories that require use of the internet,
namely sending gymnastics site URL's, will not be worth
as many points as the other categories as some do not have the internet
at home.
Quizzes may be obtained from Kathy in print versions for those who would
like them.
This
is in its experimental phases. If it works and is effective this
time around, we will continue to
use it in the future making changes and improvements as we go.
About
our "Library"
The
selection of books and DVD's in our mini-library is carefully reviewed
by the coach
and all are
read before
being placed in the "library."
Books for grown-ups are also included covering topics
such as sports psychology and coaching progressons etc.
(See Kathy for endorsements of all books by legitimate organizations.)
Thanks!
and Have Fun!!!! |
