About the Book

Using a child-centred approach, this book aims to empower the instructor to challenge students to improve their movement through manipulation of the practice environment and the sequencing of their movements into routines with partners, in threes or small groups to develop co-operation and teamwork. It uses five movement categories (rolling, jumping, balancing, vaulting and hanging/climbing) and a total of 70 skills divided into 16 themes without those five movement categories to teach gymnastics. A three-step process is used of practicing, sequencing and performing. Photocopiable task cards are included so that students can select task cards and develop their own routines. No special equipment is required.

About the Author :
Eric Malmberg, EdD, has traveled the world studying gymnastics teaching and systems, and he has taught gymnastics at every level from preschool to national and Olympic levels. He has coached four national championship teams and numerous All-Americans, and he has been named National and Regional College Gymnastics Coach of the Year many times. Malmberg is an associate professor of physical education and former department chair at the State University of New York at Cortland, where he was voted "most valuable faculty" by students in 2002. He has been a member of the USA Gymnastics Education Subcommittee for many years. He is also a member of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance; the National Association for Sport and Physical Education; the Council on Physical Education for Children; and the New York Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance--the latter of which recently bestowed on him an Amazing Person Award. Malmberg is also coauthor of Sequential Gymnastics and I Can Do Gymnastics. Malmberg holds a doctorate in teaching and curriculum from Syracuse University. He and his wife, Sue, live in Marathon, New York, and have three kids (who, according to Malmberg, constantly reinforce the principles brought forth in this book). In his leisure time, Malmberg enjoys hiking, kayaking, and backpacking.
