M200 Men’s Development Coaches’ Course: Hands-On Training

Course Description

This is a NEW live, six-hour, hands-on training course developed for pre-competitive, level 1-3 (age 4-10) boys coaches and even school age recreational coaches. Course topics include warm ups, conditioning, lesson planning, games, hands on spotting and lecture for all Men’s Olympic events. This is a great hands on experience of set-ups, drills and skill progression with instructors demonstrating practical examples of coaching boys gymnastics.

  • Provide accessibility to boy’s gymnastics through a structured program that can be easily implemented in a variety of environments and facility locations.
  • Demonstrate how to create safe and fun lesson plans and class structure for men’s level 1-3 gymnastics
  • Provide coaching professionals a knowledge base of key concepts, principles, and proven techniques used in the Men’s Program
  • Establish certificate program requirements which will help identify competent men’s pre-team, recreational and competitive (Level 1-3) gymnastics coaches.
  • Provide appropriate skills, drills and techniques for entry level competitive coaches.
  • Help standardize pre-team/recreational and entry level competitive gymnastics teaching throughout the United States.
  • Provide resources, instructional materials, and assistance at men’s levels 1-3 coaching
  • Provides Hands on Spotting on all six Olympic Events/apparatus that simulate traditional boy’s competitive equipment scaled down for learning.
