The first ever FMS Fundamental Bridging course was held on 15 November during Phase 2 (Stabilization Period) under the strict Safe Management restrictions. This bridging course is a different from a normal Fundamental Gymnastics Coaching Course, as we are working with NurtureKids Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) coaches to teach them on what Gymnastics is all about.
We had various coaches from Athletes, Floorball, Tchouk Ball and Yoga who brought in their personal knowledge and expertise onto the gymnastics floor and to assist in preparing and coaching gymnastics session involving fundamental movement and gymnastics skills as well as the Dominant Movement Patterns (DMP).
It was a fun and engaging session with each small group sharing their coaching to the rest of the participants. Even though it was their first time teaching gymnastics skills but all of them had fun as they help each other out and sharing their best practices and how the plans can be further improved upon.
We hope to see more other sport coaches who have good understanding of Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) to come on board for the Bridging course. Do watch out for the next run of this bridging course for next year.
