Gymnastics is one of the best all-around training experiences for growth and development of children and youth. Physical conditioning, coordination and strength are complemented by increased self-confidence, self-pride, concentration, and cooperative learning skills. Unfortunately, the many positive aspects of gymnastics are not available to all children, because of the high cost of equipment and lack of specialized trainers. “Physical activity increases a child’s ability to cope with stress and anxiety. Self-esteem and building friendships follow closely as another benefit of participation. Socialization is important to mental health and well-being and can help a child be more self-sufficient and confident.” (Joanne Bauman, Benefits and Barriers to Fitness for Children with Disabilities, NCPAD Newsletter, 2004).
