Practicing Gymnastics

Morgan has been in gymnastics on and off since she was two. She is in the Kindergym program for 5-6 year olds and has to pass different skill levels. She loves the bar work and she's really strong at holding herself up against the bar. She is also really developing skill on the high beam. The school does a really god job of helping kids get used to a skill by putting HUGE matts under the beam so it LOOKS lower. Then they slowly reduce the number of matts until the kids are working at the 'real' height.

Here are some clips of what she's working on




This is the first day of somersault of the high beam, notice how high the mats are


A week later she gets spotted and helped once - notice the mats have changed


Second time and the teacher just spots her


Then the next week she is on her own and the high mats are back
