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.

Our last Choose Your Habits coaching clinic was hosted by Arizona Sunrays. Ambassador Rick McCharles and (former Arizona Wildcat star) Sunrays Competitive Team Director Nikki Beyschau co-taught.
26 coaches from 6 clubs attended. The diverse group included instructors in Trampoline & Tumbling, dance, Rhythmic, Cheer, CrossFit and Mobile Gymnastics. We were thrilled to find that preschool guru Jeannie McCarthy is now at Sunrays. 🙂
Themes of the day included:
• positive coaching
• alternatives to spotting
• safer, faster, easier, FUN learning
• 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.

If you’re going to the USA Gymnastics Congress in Hartford this week, I will be speaking about the importance of understanding growth and development when teaching a pre-school gymnastics program.
A fun, simple and educational workshop providing practical and easy to use tools for teaching and designing a “super” child centred gymnastics program. The focus of this session will be on defining and describing the characteristics of the whole child physically, socially, emotionally and mentally at each age and stage.
