I Love Gymnastics

I had my first full coaching session of the new school year this afternoon 🙂 One of my girls, Mollie, who is a very cheeky and mischievous 12 year old, got a little too sassy for my liking 😒 I took her aside from the rest of the class, told her that she needed to improve her behaviour, then made her run 30 laps of the gym 😄 About half way through she came up to me and complained that her feet were sore from running without shoes. So I made her do press ups instead 🙂

You don't mess with this bear 🐻

Did she think she'd be allowed plimsolls in gymnastics?

@Adec757 We have no plimsolls. She was just trying to get out of her punishment 😒

@TammieBear great to hear no plimsolls!

@Adec757 There is no shoe that is flexible or safe enough to do gymnastics in. We sometimes wear ballet flats between activities, but we always work in bare feet.

@TammieBear as do we, the only way, but the new in take don't always like it....

@Adec757 Some girls have really sensitive feet, but they have to get used to it. We have underfloor heating, so it is quite nice.

@TammieBear hey that's great! I guess some are still just dealing with polished wooden floors.
