Thanks Brigid.
Gymnastics Canada has awarded its largest participant-based event to Calgary. The 2014 Canadian Gymnaestrada event will be held June 25 to July 1 at the University of Calgary and University Gymnastics Centre. Gymnaestrada is a form of gymnastics that combines dance with gymnastics skills and acrobatics. …
While the World Gymnaestrada does not require merit-based qualification of participants, attendance at the Canadian Gymnaestrada is mandatory for athletes intending to compete in Helsinki, Finland in 2015, guaranteeing a high calibre of performances at the event. …
I would like to know about your 2014 festival in Canada as we would be interested in attending

Dozens of coaches have been consulted on a new resource, a home handstand training program.
The first reaction of most was: “I’m not sure I want my kids doing too many handstands at home. They’ll practice bad habits.”
But I was quickly won over. This is going to work. Kids are going to do handstands at home — so let’s have them practice as correctly and safely as possible.

Just in time for Christmas, the package is available worldwide for $361. Or you can buy the pieces separately.
The 60 page workbook is the best resource on handstand I’ve ever seen. Congratulations to editor Carrie Lennox.
