How to survive the summer is a topic among gym owners. Summer time has been the scourge of the gymnastics community since they started renting private facilities. Gymnasts are out of school and away from their normal routines.
Families take vacations.
For team gymnasts, program directors need to remind parents that summer is a critical time to train and prepare for the upcoming fall season. Recreational gymnasts need different reasons than team gymnasts to stay active during the summer. Remember not all recreational gymnasts have the desire or the ability to work at the team level, but they still love the sport. In GG, students are involved in programs that emphasize health, fun, and fitness benefits of gymnastics participation rather than preparation for gymnastics competitions. The highlight for GG participants is usually an exhibition, performance, or display rather than a meet.
