Description
When thinking about buying equipment for your child to use at home, it can be confusing to decide what to order with so many choices. We've selected some equipment that we think make great starter pieces for preschool age kids to use at home. Give the gift of gymnastics and feel good about your child being active at home.
Jack & Jill mats:
The Jack and Jill mats are ideal for any young child learning new gymnastics skills or anyone interested in a softer tumbling mat. When folded, this kids tumbling mat is 15cm narrower than other mats, making it easier to perform skills over the mat. The combination of soft foam (top layer) and polyethylene foam (bottom layer) provides a safe and forgiving area for kids to learn gymnastics skills like forward and backward rolls, bridges, cartwheels and much more. The non-skid material on the bottom of the mat will prevent it from sliding or moving. As with all our tumbling mats, only the highest quality materials are used in its construction. Although the name suggests preschool age, many older kids also enjoy this softer, more forgiving tumbling mat. It's also easier for children to carry. Fold the mat accordion style to create a block that is 1.2m long by 45cm wide and 20cm high. In this configuration, many useful gymnastics drills can be done with the mat (four 45cm folding panels).
Inclines - folding:
Inclines are one of the most functional and versatile progressive skill builders for your gymnastics and cheer programmes. They are used at all levels and as skill builders for most events, uphill vaulting, transition training on bars, basic tumbling on floor and conditioning are only a few of their applications. Use the incline to practice forward rolls, backward rolls, log rolls and cartwheels down the Incline. Fold the incline to create a block for practicing bridges with their feet on the block (hands on the floor), working arms and core strength in a push-up shape with feet on block, jumps up onto and off from the block, donkey kicks with hands on block. The inclines feature a Velcro flap to keep the incline fastened shut when folded closed. Heavy duty 5cm wide webbing handles are attached to larger inclines for your convenience. This item is also commonly referred to as a cheese mat, wedge mat, wedges.
Sectional balance beam - suede:
Our 1.2m long sectional balance beam helps gymnasts gain confidence walking on a 10cm wide beam. The balance beam is also perfect for practicing skills like donkey kicks, handstands, jumps, leaps and obstacle courses. Our sectional balance beam is competition width of 10cm wide (top) and features a suede surface on the top and sides, making it the perfect sectional balance beam for home or gym use. It features a 20cm wide (base) ensuring it stays in position whilst in use and is 10cm high. Choose the sectional beam 2 pack option to create a longer 2.4m long beam. To create longer lengths, simply connect two or more beams together using the permanently attached Velcro fasteners. Its a perfect balance beam for kids just getting started with gymnastics (end colour supplied in random).
