The first WRGC workshop of the year was a hit where over 40 participants of various ages and abilities focused on mastering cartwheels, refining them, or learning different variations
Yesterday, Wings Rhythmic Gymnastics Club hosted a successful cartwheel workshop, providing a fun and engaging experience for 42 enthusiastic young gymnasts. Some were club members, and some joined for this one-day activity.
The day kicked off with a warm welcome and a comprehensive introduction to cartwheel technique, led by coach Enya. Using visual aids, she broke down the cartwheel into manageable steps, highlighting key points and safety rules.
The session then moved into a dynamic warm-up, starting with a fun game led by coach Dzeneta, followed by a series of drills including bunny hops, side bunny hops, relevé walks, lunges, and wheelbarrow walks. While waiting their turn, the children engaged in toe touches, shoulder stretches, and butterfly stretches.
After a thorough warm-up, a stretching session focusing on back and front support, box splits, and lateral stretches was led too ensure cartwheels were performed safely and that gymnast learn key stretched to continue to improve the amplitude of their cartwheels
.
The children then enjoyed a 20-minute snack break, a chance to refuel and chat with their fellow gymnasts.
The afternoon was dedicated to cartwheel practice, divided into three experience levels: complete beginners, medium, and advanced. Coaches coach James, coach Dzeneta and coach Enya rotated between the groups, providing individualised support and guidance.
The final hour saw the children put their newfound skills to the test with cartwheel spotting, and a cool-down session.
The workshop concluded with valuable tips on how to practice cartwheels at home.
The workshop was a resounding success, with the children demonstrating remarkable progress and enthusiasm throughout the day. Wings Rhythmic Gymnastics Club is proud of all the participants for their hard work and dedication.
