Little Miss recently started acrobatics. She’s amazingly strong and bendy. Although she could already do cartwheels and backbends, I enrolled her in the Acro Level 1 class at a center nearby. I know less than nothing about correct form, so I wanted to make sure she wasn’t setting herself up for injury by developing bad habits. At the end of week three, her coach suggested we bump her to the Acro Level 2 class. She’s doing so well and has already achieved her one handed front handspring and her backbend walk over! With that in mind, I’ve searching for gymnastics gift ideas. This list includes the top gymnastics gift ideas with gifts that your gymnast would love to receive. Yes, I know that Acro is a sort of cross between gymnastics and dance and focuses on floor skills. For now, that is what she wants.

Every gymnast needs a quality Folding Gym Mat – we’ve had our CoverSports Gym Mat for nearly 10 years. While a few threads are coming lose on it, it’s held up over the test of time with three kids not only tumbling on it, but also using it for fort building and whatever other shenanigans they can get into. Because most products CoverSports sells are custom orders, they don’t have an e-commerce section, so if you want the one we have, you’ll need to request a price quote.
