Congratulations to
Tyler Waller for winning Gold at the Loule Cup in Portugal. He was competing
against 14 different countries and brought home the gold medal for Mens
Junior Power Tumbling. This is his third podium win for a World Competition. In
2010 he won bronze in France, in 2011 he won silver in England, and
now in 2012 he has brought home the gold medal in
Portugal. Congrats Tyler!
Dara Williams, 14, has parlayed doing handstands in the basement of her Bloomington home into a Level 9 overall national championship by capturing a USA Gymnastics title Saturday in Worcester, Mass. Williams totaled 37.150 points out of a possible 40 to claim the crown over Francesca Swoboda (37.0) of Huntington, N.Y.
At Gymnastics Etc, we are pleased to offer a variety of classes for children of all ages and skill levels. We also offer a selection of other activities.
Being on a competitive team can be very challenging, but also rewarding. Gymnasts can build self-confidence by setting goals and overcoming fears to develop higher level skills. Performing in front of large groups and receiving ribbons for accomplishments can give gymnasts a sense of pride in their achievements. There are many reasons for a child to join a team, but it does involve work by the gymnast and the parent.
