Be careful kids don’t over-rotate and fall.

Rec Gymnastics wearing a mask
Some Gyms are requiring masks.
Some encouraging masks.
Impressively, kids can get used to them.

They aren’t really needed if you can keep children at least 6 feet apart at all times when practicing. Can you?

Many Gyms don’t use full Trampoline for their once / week kids.
BUT all these Landings can be done on big mats. Soft surfaces.

There’s every chance you will strain your neck muscles if practicing too many backward rolls too soon.

Good tips from Gymcats Gym Dance Cheer. Of course this was before COVID-19.
Don’t PUSH DOWN on children when stretching.
I like their recommendations on foam barrels, too.
