I cannot agree more with this JAG GYM post. Gymnastics is such a foundational sport. If your gym is anything like mine, your boys enrollment drops after kindergym, so it is so important that we lay a strong foundation for sport in those early years!

Back in the 90’s, when I was an athlete myself and a brand new coach-in-training, I remember vividly a little boy named Travis who would bounce off the walls and flip over/on/under/between anything. His mom coached at our gym too, so I remember he had free reign a lot of the time. He moved on from gymnastics to trampoline and then he learned to ski. His passion from there led him to become a World Champion & Olympian in Aerial Ski-Jumping. Travis Gerritts often looks back and attributes his early development to his gymnastics days as a kid! Plus, he’s been on Dragon’s Den! 😉
