USA Congress Handstand Presentation
For the first time ever, Tumbl Trak staff member, Carrie Lennox, and ambassador, Michelle Kocan worked collaboratively to present a lecture at National Congress.
The lecture discussed the fundamentals of shaping a great handstand in recreational – pre team athletes. Information was geared toward fun and creative ways to positively encourage coaches to instill good habits in athletes early on.
Feedback from the lecture was positive, including one comment, “I didn’t know there was so much to learn about HANDSTANDS!”
You can see their slide show online here.
Please Contact Carrie (carrie@tumbltrak.com) with any questions or observations you may have!
That’s from the Tumbl Trak Sept 2013 email newsletter

Twisters Gymnastics, Washington
Twisters Gymnastics has taken a huge step, moving from its inadequate quarters in the historic old Custom House building in Port Townsend to the former auto parts store along Rhody Drive in Port Hadlock. Helping to lead the way are coach and business manager Sierra Young, supporter and building owner Doug Davis, and Kelle Riley, returning after 14 years to coach gymnastics again in Jefferson County.
Kelle Riley has been at Leading Edge for the past 14 years. She’s coming home.
Tumbl Trak plans to use this Gym for testing new equipment. And shooting video. 🙂

• teaching good shapes … and avoiding mis-shapes
• motor & physical fitness
• life skills (e.g. discipline, respect, listening)
• positive coaching …Click PLAY or watch Nikki teaching Floor & Bar on YouTube.
