SKILL REQUIREMENTS

Level 2 Gymnastics All Around Skill Requirements

As gymnasts continue through the basic development stages they become more accustomed and familiar to not only their body, but controlling their body weight as well. It takes dedication to learn and teach these skills to advance into the next level.

While this sport is highly rewarding to what people can do with their body, and it also looks really cool, they must remember to respect their own safety. Proper mats, chalk, and grips help tremendously throughout these learning stages for children and adults. That being said, if a gymnast does not have the strength to do a specific skill for their level, more muscle development may be needed in order to achieve it, exercising and certain workouts help speed this process.

Training exercises can be suggested by coaches here at GymnstTraining Pro for help to train a gymnasts body accordingly!
