I will give each learner recommendations for exercises to do to improve their cartwheels.Class Experience
In this one-time course, students practice their gymnastics cartwheels with individual attention and coaching given. Drills, strength, and flexibility exercises will be recommended based on each student's individual performance. I use a mix of live instruction and my own video clips. This class is designed for children who have learned how to do a cartwheel before, and would like to improve their technique. Learners are welcome to repeat the class as many times as they like to continue improving. Class will start with introductions and a quick physical warm-up. Next, I will give a short review/breakdown of the cartwheel action, starting and finishing positions. Students will then demonstrate their cartwheels and I will coach them on their technique, using drills and a few pieces of equipment such as a hoola hoop or a masking tape line on the floor. Students who demonstrate consistent correct technique will then be instructed in drills for the cartwheel variation of their choice: one-armed, opposite side, or round-off progressions.
Learning Goals
Students will learn drills to improve their cartwheel technique and work toward cartwheel variations.
