Helping and securing in gymnastics

Help and Support – who doesn't know these two terms that are often mentioned together and are simply part of gymnastics.

This book not only includes descriptions and illustrations of helper grips for all common gymnastic elements but also takes into account additional multi-perspective content related to mutual assistance in schools and clubs.

Collaboration is at the core of mutual assistance! Long-term and as an introductory part of the lesson, tasks aimed at improving collaboration are also of great importance for successful assistance. For this reason, over 130 cooperative movement games and tasks, along with many variations and partner acrobatic examples, have been added in this new edition.

A dedicated chapter explains step-by-step, using examples from classic gymnastic apparatus and elements, how effective assistance can be learned. The examples are structured in such a way that compact lesson plans for over 6-8 double periods can be created from them. The final part of the book contains – as immediate lesson preparation for reference – the pure description and illustration of helper grips for all target groups.

With its creative exercises, this book is not only a treasure trove for all educators but also a valuable reference work with a comprehensive index – a long-term companion for your gymnastics lessons!.
