iFlip Invitational - Dec. 2, 2012

The iFlip Invitational with Special Guest Denise Keller at Bishan Sports Hall on Sun., Dec. 2, 2012 is another great competition for our gymnasts in Singapore and throughout SE Asia to be involved in. Not only is this exciting event the first of it's kind to be hosted by a celebrity in Singapore but it is also put on by a sporting events company, not a gym. Take a look at the iFlip Invitational Website!

Singapore is just starting to have a series of competitions in a row, perhaps this is the start of a regular competitive season instead of multiple one-off's throughout the year. 

Benefits of a gymnastics competitive season:

• coaches are able to work periodized training
• build confidence in performing routines
• feedback from one competition would carry to the next
• develop consistency 
• better results at the end of a season
• parents, gymnasts & coaches easily adapt towards working with a competitive schedule vs. one competition in Dec. and one in May.
• if a gymnast has a bad day at a competition, it's not so much of a worry as there will be one just around the corner!
• an off-season would include new skills and advancing levels!

There must be many other benefits I'm forgetting, post a comment and let me know!
