Aims and objectives:

The structure of the course is variable and can be adapted to suit the enrolled students' skill level. This means that the course can have two different goals.

The first goal involves practising and improving motor skills to the extent covered by the basic sports gymnastics programme.

The second goal involves practising and improving motor skills to an extent depending on students' abilities and the equipment available, above and beyond the content of the basic programme. The teaching involves a more individualized component by tailoring content to individual skill levels and incorporating aspects of problem-based teaching, which can also be used when coaching school gymnastics groups and gymnastics clubs. The teaching encourages students to work independently and creatively to develop routines.

  1. Acrobacy (roll / handstand drills), High bar exercises (pull up, forward stride circle, backward stride circle, underswing)
