Gymnaestrada 2023 – Amersterdam
FIG by email:
For its 17th edition and a celebration of its 70-year anniversary, the World Gymnaestrada returns to the Netherlands, the country where it all started in 1953.
… Over the next week in Amsterdam, nearly 19,000 participants from 56 countries will come together to celebrate Gymnastics.
From an opening ceremony at the Olympic stadium to national performances and large group performances at Amsterdam’s RAI exhibition centre, as well as stages throughout the city for shows by individual groups, the world of Gymnastics will make its mark on Amsterdam with participants from the ages of 1 month to 93 years representing a broad mix of cultures and abilities showing off the full diversity of the sport. …
I have a lot of friends who will be attending. I call it the Olympics of non-competitive Gymnastics. 😀

What is “Physical Literacy”?
Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life.
- the physical skills to do the activity,
- the confidence and motivation to be active,
- the knowledge and understanding of how, why, and when to move, and
- the social skills to be active with others.
- Any person, at any time of life, in any environment or situation, can improve their physical literacy.

THE FLOOR IS LAVA Games
Naja uses Lava Orange yoga mats.
Children are told that the FLOOR IS LAVA and they must jump over the lava wherever the mats are in the (parkour?) circuit.
Good idea.

Gymnastics Cartwheel Hand Mat
Of the many systems I’ve seen, this one is best.
Kids can try both cartwheel right and cartwheel left.
I saw this on the private Preschool Gymnastics Coaches Facebook page.
