Gymnastics is a “sport for all sports” and serves as one of the most transferable activities, using exercises and drills that build the foundations for every sport including both football and cricket. In this session, athletes will make use of beam and ball coordination circuits to improve general motor skills such as running, skipping, and balancing, skills which are key to improving the quality of performance within football and cricket. Athletes in this session will also complete a variety of flexibility and stretching routines, aimed at improving general range of motion required to enhance performance in football and cricket, as well as to prevent injuries due to lack of mobility. Athletes will also take part in tumbling circuits including the use of airtrack, trampette, used to practise jumping and landing, increasing body and spacial awareness as well as overall agility.
