Gymnastics Coach Certification
Gymnastics Drills and Conditioning

You will learn the most useful gymnastics drills and conditioning exercises and then earn a great certification!

As a gymnastics coach you have an obligation to teach gymnastics in a safe and productive environment. Part of the safety includes teaching skills in an appropriate manner by preparing your gymnasts physically and mentally for new skills. When skills are introduced in a progressive manner your gymnast has the best chance of safety, comfort, and success. Their body becomes accustomed to performing the correct shapes, their muscles become accustomed to the correct sequence of contractions, and their mind becomes trained to think, feel, and form the correct movement.

Using gymnastic drills not only prepares the gymnast, but it prepares the coach. The coach will be responsible for spotting the gymnast when they put the drills together to perform the complete skill for the first time. As a coach, after studying and practicing these drills and conditioning exercises, you will become aware of the shapes you must see and the corrections you should offer the gymnast as they perform the drills and skills. Once you have practiced the corrections and spotting the drills you are better prepared to spot and coach the complete skill. As a coach certified with us in the drills and conditioning method you will prove that you possess great knowledge of progressive teaching and sport specific conditioning for the best chance of safety and success in the gym.

This will be a great tool in your coaching collection, but please understand that is not the only gymnastics certification a coach in this sport needs. The number one certification is the safety certification by USAG. Your knowledge should come from many good sources including these gymnastics drills and conditioning books, observation of and interaction with highly successful coaches who respect their gymnast, and educational events hosted by USAG and USAIGC. As a coach, safety should always be your main concern. It is your responsibility to learn the best techniques and progressions for teaching any skill that your gymnast will need. Good coaching is getting to the gym every day, but great coaching is a continual process of refining your skills and knowledge in order to maximize your gymnasts safety and success. We sincerely wish you the best of luck with your gymnastics career and hope that you will choose this certification to prove to the world that you possess a great collection of drills and conditioning exercises in order to benefit your gymnasts.

This certification includes all 6 gymnastics drills and conditioning books, the test preparation materials and the test itself. Whether you decide to complete the testing procedure or not, at the very least you will have had the opportunity to view this vast collection of gymnastics drills and conditioning exercises. The best path for you to take is to incorporate the drills and conditioning exercises into your program. Once you have done that you should complete the testing and send it in to be graded. Once you pass this test you will be sent a beautiful certificate to display on your gymnastics facility walls. This certificate will give the parents additional comfort. You have proven that you possess great knowledge and they will know that their children will learn skills in an organized and safe manner. We  urge you to not only prove to yourself that you have knowledge, but to prove it to the parents whose children are literally in your hands.

The gymnastic certification process will be convenient and will actually take place in the comfort of your facility. It will take place over the course of 30-60 days. You will be asked to answer a series of questions on video and you will demonstrate how you have incorporated the drills and conditioning exercises into your training program. You will actually be expected to use these drills and conditioning exercises with your gymnasts. Your gymnasts will demonstrate the exercise and we will watch and listen to the coach. We are grading the coach, not the gymnast. We will look for proper technique and we will be listening for the corrections you offer during the training clips you include. We will assign certain drills and then offer the choice of a group of drills for you to include. The final question will be for you to demonstrate a drill or conditioning exercise that is not in the books. It can be on any skill or level and it must be SAFE. We are looking for safety, usefulness, and creativity. We are also expecting every coach to be respectful to their gymnasts. If we see demeaning, unsafe, or disrespectful behavior you will not pass the certification exam.

An edge over the competition... Are they certified yet?

This will be a selling point in your gym. Parents want to be very comfortable when they leave their child with you. And they want the coaches to be educated and certified in every way possible. You will have a safer and more productive environment in your gym and a great way to truly stand out from the other gymnastics facilities in your area. Tell the parents what you had to go through to pass this exam and they will sign their child up with you because only the most dedicated coaches will become certified...

Purchase gymnastic certification pack, receive your materials, learn the exercises, and then complete your video and send it back. Grading may take as long as 2 weeks. You will be sent a certificate for your gymnastics facility and a great sense of accomplishment.

Incorporate the exercises we assign. Instruct another coach to video your training. Allow your gymnasts time to get comfortable, but we want to see the learning process. Your gymnast will not necessarily perform these drills perfectly from the start. It is more important that we see the corrections being made because that will be a clear demonstration of your understanding of the drill or exercise. It is imperative that you inform and spot your gymnasts. Put your video together and send it back.

You should have a gymnast demonstrate the drills and you should be spotting the gymnast. Since they may be new to the gymnast be ready to help the gymnast with technique and safety. We are NOT testing or evaluating the gymnast. We are testing the coach’s knowledge of the drills.
