[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The broader point, to me, is all of the specialized equipment is not necessary to offer a recreational gymnastics program. I see a role for the County in offering basic recreational gymnastics classes. It is nice, however, the rec program finds a way to use most of the equipment.[/quote] I will disagree with them not using the equipment again, but generally rec gymnastics are created as feeders into competitive gymnastics (competitive programs recruit out of them). Yes many take the class for fun but you often cant het into competitive programs unless you have skills learned in rec. [/quote] The inverse is also true with the little kids In rec gymnastics looking up to the kids on team who have amazing skills. That brings kids into the program and inspires them to keep going. My kids were always super inspired seeing the older athletes in the gym with them.[/quote]
