Learn the terminology, background, and teaching how-to’s for informal or "non-traditional" gymnastcs from this site. You will find numerous activity and lesson ideas, complete descriptions of the skills (including cues, problem areas, tips, spotting, and variations), and even video of some skills to share with your students (Requires Quicktime). Lesson ideas come from educators who submit them, so the list keeps growing.
