Max has taken two terms of gymnastics this year. He likes it and it is a good challenge for him. There are lots of activities outside his comfort zone and he has to listen carefully to instructions. Both are equally big challenges for him.
These photos are from the "championships." Judges checked to see how independently and correctly the kids could do the different activities. Max loved receiving a medal at the end
Swinging on the uneven bars (he was asked to keep his knees tucked and together and his toes pointed)
Holding himself still on the bar with pointy toes and straight legs
Holding his body straight while hanging then dismounting with arms raised
Receiving his medal and certificate
His class and teachers
We'll have to decide whether or not to keep him in the class again next year. I think we'd see a lot of improvement and more confidence if he stays in...but we have a busy year ahead of us. I feel he is a bit over-scheduled currently so I'll have to withdraw him from something (he has "school" three days per week then ballet, gymnastics and music too).
