We are hosting the CrossFit Gymnastics Specialty Course here at SinCity CrossFit!
This interactive two-day course covers basic, intermediate and advanced gymnastics movements in a lecture setting, with practical application following as participants and coaches perform all presented movements. Skills are repeated until the student has an understanding of how to learn, spot and teach all movements safely to athletes of any level. Gymnastics programming is also discussed. Course participants learn to apply gymnastics principles in training themselves and others to increase strength development, core control and spatial awareness – all of which improve CrossFit performance.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The Gymnastics Course teaches participants about:
- Flexibility and mobility in warm-ups – variations on multiple dynamic warm-ups, static stretches, and balance work.
- Basic strength – development for disadvantaged leverage and basic prowess in gymnastics movements, shapes, and positions.
