Sports Acrobatics
Sports acrobatics is a branch of gymnastics designed specifically to allow boys and girls to work, and to compete together. It is primarily focused upon working in a team or with a partner, developing in young people the skills of co-operation, trust and communication. Pupils who have not enjoyed gymnastics in the past, may suddenly discover a great talent for sport acrobatics. Many are surprised at what they can achieve in a very short space of time. As the pupils develop towards competing, they will prepare a 'routine' of moves and balances which will be performed to a piece of music. Participants gain satisfaction from their own improvement and abilities without the pressure of a win-lose situation. Pupils also have the chance to help one another which can be a great learning experience for both the experienced pupil, and for the novice.
