If you are a gymnastics coach then you will have to explain to your team members the importance of gymnastics drawings. A great deal of the fun and success of any gymnastics program is due to the ability to be able to get a participant’s imagination involved with the physical exercise regimen. However, it is also very important that the gymnastics exercises are demonstrated safely by a qualified and competent gymnastics instructor. This is where the ability to draw on the body of the individual becomes invaluable.
You should never hesitate to use gymnastics drawings to help your gymnasts understand the movements involved in their particular exercise. The first time that a child shows an interest in these activities, you need to take the time to explain them all to them. In most cases, it will be a very difficult task to entice them to actually participate in these activities. It takes a lot of patience and kindness to be able to get through to them. The use of gymnastics drawings will not only make it much easier to get your gymnast to try out these various moves, but it will also encourage them to continue doing so.
The first step in drawing a gymnastics routine for a young gymnast is to actually sit the gymnast down. You will then need to create some fairly basic ‘stage’ ideas so that the gymnast can visualize what they are going to be doing on the stage. For many children this is as simple as creating a drawing on a sheet of paper or a card. But for some children this task may be much more complicated.
For instance, if the gymnast is about to perform the triple toe press, then it may be necessary to create a three dimensional scene that includes the knees, arms, and hands. This may even require the presence of a character such as ‘Romeo’ from the cartoon opera, The Nutcracker. In fact, there are some very famous children’s cartoon characters such as ‘Mickey Mouse’ and ‘Winnie the Pooh’ that have been used extensively in gymnastics drawing routines. These cartoon characters help a child’s imagination to become active and really get into the gymnastics routine.
Another way to involve the imagination of the gymnast is to take them to an actual setting such as a sports arena where they can practice their skills. Often the gymnasts themselves will be using gymnastics props to make their routines look as good as possible. These can include blocks, ropes, balance beams and towers which are all real and give the gymnast a chance to experience how these various things work in a real-life setting. Often the parents of these young stars of stage and arena shows will encourage the gymnasts to make these players available for their own children to visit. They can then practice their routines at home, too!
If you want your gymnast to get into the most rigorous gymnastics drawing routine, make it even more fun for them by having them make their own creations. They will enjoy coming to your home and doing their best to complete the most difficult gymnastics drawings they can come up with. You may want to take the ideas your gymnast brings to you and create something similar but with a little twist here or there. The results will be impressive and very motivating for your gymnast!
