Gymnastics teaches more than flips. Gymnastics teaches confidence, discipline, courage, and perseverance
By participating in gymnastics, children encounter things that will push them out of their comfort zone. Making a decision to trust themselves and their coaches is a skill that will carry over to all areas of their life. Participating in a sport that has a strict code of conduct teaches the importance of safety and respect. Gymnastics can assist with the development of confidence through positive experiences and achievements, and requires concentration and commitment.
