British Gymnastics Resources
British Gymnastics has produced and released a variety of resources for clubs to distribute and use with their members, and so we have compiled them here for you to use at home.
When training at home, please be aware this is at your own risk, and British Gymnastics insist that gymnasts only train at a level which is suited to their ability, and that gymnasts only training to the same level that they would normally at the club, ie. if they training once a week, then they should not train several hours a day at home.
Please make sure that you assess any risks before participating by making sure there is suitable space, and no trip hazards.
There are resources for different ages and ability of gymnast.
