Balance is essential for all physical development and is a prerequisite for almost every movement skill.Static balance is the ability to maintain a static position throughout a movement (e.g. a handstand in gymnastics). Dynamic balance is controlling the body when moving (e.g. keeping the body stable while kicking a football)

For the month of November we have been focusing on the fundamental movement skill of balance through the strand of gymnastics. Have a look at Ms Crowley’s second class working on different balances.
