Gymnastics is the basis of every other sport!?

 

At Maryborough Gymsports we don't keep the benefits of gymnastics to ourselves, we extend the invite to other sports players and sporting groups to come in and cross train. 

 

Why?

 

Gymnastics training uses every part of the body. Participants gain muscle strength through tumbling, jumping, static flexing, and holding one's own body weight in various positions help to develop strong and powerful bodies.  

 

What is Cross Training? Cross training is training in two or more sports, in order to gain, work on or improve elements such as flexibility, agility, balance, fitness or strength.

 

​Are your athletes needing the following?

​​

• Agility

• Balance

• Control

• Core mobility/Strength

• Courage 

• Coordination / Timing / Rhythm

• Creativity/ Dance/ Grace/ Poise

• Discipline

• Flexibility 

• Focus

• Grip strength 

• Injury prevention

• Muscle tone

• Posture

• Power 

• Safe landings 

• Strength

• Self-esteem 

• Speed 

• Spatial awareness

• Team work

​

Remember seeing rings, pommel horses and bars in army barracks, sports clubs and weights gyms in the past? This is because the strength that gymnastics requires has many physical benefits (as well as mental, social and emotional). 

​​

Gymnastics is the foundation to all sports but is particularly beneficial in cross training with the following sports/hobbies:

• Athletics (particularly running and jumping events)

Sessions

Individuals - contact us for further assessment based on your goals and needs. Check out our Strength and Conditioning Program in the meantime. 
 

Group programs run for a minimum of 4 weeks, up to a  whole season, depending on the desired outcome. Coaches work with the visiting club coach to design and implement lesson plans focused on what the coach/trainer is seeking to improve.

 

Duration
Sessions are a minimum of 60 minutes and increase from there.

Location

Sessions are ideally held at the Maryborough GymSports club venue as coaches have access to specialty equipment to assist in the athlete's development.

Availability  
Programs are subject to availability of coaching staff most suited to the cross training sport, venue space and time. Maryborough GymSports holds classes weekday afternoons. Coaches also work other day jobs, so availability fluctuates. 

Should your team not be able to participate, we advise looking at our other programs and seeing if something is better suited.

​

Groups will be invoiced to the nominated person/club. Maryborough GymSports will provide your contact person with payment details.

​

A group booking fee will be charged. Charges are run on groups under 10 participants and over 10 participants. Limits do apply of how many athletes can attend at once, depending on coach availability​
