This high-impact session is designed for teachers who want to deliver high-quality gymnastics lessons with confidence on more challenging apparatus. In just 60 minutes, you’ll gain a practical framework for teaching all the essential skills, techniques, and progressions needed to help your pupils become confident, competent gymnasts, whatever their starting point.
This session will particularly benefit PE specialists looking to deepen their subject knowledge, enhance their lesson delivery, and build a comprehensive approach to teaching gymnastics across key stages.
What You’ll Learn in Part 1 – Floor Skills:
- Learn about fundamental gymnastics shapes
Explore how core shapes like tuck, pike, straddle, star, and straight form the foundation of all gymnastics, and how to integrate them into meaningful games and sequences. - Discover hand apparatus activities
Use simple resources—like bean bags, feathers, and hoops—to build coordination, control, and creativity on the floor. These activities can enhance movement quality and offer variety across lessons. - Break down floor-based skills into teachable components
Deconstruct key movements such as rolls, cartwheels, handstands and transitions into progressive steps that build confidence and competence. Learn how to scaffold learning across ability levels. - Support all learners through differentiation
Gain strategies for simplifying or extending skills so that every pupil can access success and challenge their ability, whether they’re new to gymnastics or ready to refine performance.
You’ll Leave With:
- A structured approach to delivering high-quality floor-based gymnastics
- A bank of engaging activities and skill progressions
- Clear, practical teaching points to support movement development
- Tools for inclusive delivery across varied pupil abilities
- Greater confidence to teach gymnastics with impact and purpose
Note: You can still attend this session if you can’t attend Part 2, but to get the full benefit, attendance at both parts is recommended, as the content builds upon itself.
