handstand homework
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.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
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.

Canadian Pre-CIT program
At the recent Alberta Gymnastics Congress I got my first chance to see this document. It’s a coach training program for ages 13-14.
Gymnastics Canada has updated their (old) Development Leader (Dev’L) program, rebranding it the “Pre-CIT program”.
In the first year of the Pre-CIT program, candidates will complete 5 hours of tutorials, covering 10 topic areas, and assist in the gym for 10 hours.
In the second year, candidates will complete an additional 10 hours of tasks related to coaching, officiating and administration. Over the course of the two years, it is also expected that the Pre- CIT will remain an active gymnastic participant, completing a minimum of 15 hours of “gymming” time.
13 year old Pre-CITs MUST complete the program over two full training years. 14 and 15 year old Pre-CITs have the option of completing the program in one or two training years.
At age-15, they can enter into the adult National Coaching Certification Program.
Resources from many clubs across the country were compiled, edited and produced by Cathy Haines with assistance from Elisabeth Bureaud.
This program is voluntary.
Nice work.
But it’s only available to Gymnastics Canada clubs, so far as I know.
