Students will learn with live coaching and instructional videos on the body shapes of a handstand, the inversion of a handstand, and process of going upside down in a handstand with easy safe progressions. The interaction between the coach and gymnast will happen after the group watches the 30-45 sec. instructional video and then Coach Heather will watch each athlete do the body shape and correct in a way that builds self-esteem. Coach Heather will show an instructional video then pause and watch your gymnast do the skill while instructing them in a positive tone so the athlete can reach the goal of the handstand. All the basics of a handstand are covered for beginners in gymnastics.

Parental Guidance
Risk of injury if athlete is not during skills correctly. Parent guidance and assistance maybe needed. Please make sure proper safety precautions are taken. For example, make sure athlete is not doing skills next to furniture and has proper matting required for class.
This is a risky class because the student does not have a coach at home to work with them on proper form and technique and the potential for injury exists.
