Special Olympics Rhythmic Gymnastics Coaching Guide Planning a Rhythmic Gymnastics Training & Competition Season

When the athlete has mastered several skills with a piece of apparatus, the coach can introduce combinations. For example, with ball: toss and catch, roll in and out the arms, bounce and catch. If the athlete loses the technique when doing combinations, go back and practice each skill separately. Once correct technique has been learned, repetition is the key to mastery of a skill. Remember – perfect practice makes perfect! Creativity is important in rhythmic gymnastics, but can be detrimental if athletes are allowed to experiment on their own too much, practicing poor technique which could easily turn into bad habits. Competition Experience Taking into consideration the length of the training period, as well as the abilities of each athlete, the coach must determine the level and number of routines an athlete is capable of learning and competing successfully. During each training session, the coach must choose appropriate activities in the process of teaching the competitive routines. Teach competitive routines in parts: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Teach the presentation to the judge at the beginning and end of each routine as an integral part of the routine. Teach the identified skills. The athlete should learn the body skill and the apparatus skill separately before combining the two. Teach the identified skills within sequences from the routine, one section at a time. Combine the sections to practice the complete routine without music. If a television is available, play the DVD segment showing the version of the routine that is filmed from the back, and have the athletes follow. As a training aid, have the athletes practice the routine to the music that has vocal cues. Practice the routine with music. If possible, have a practice competition. The athletes should perform in competition attire before an audience. Regardless of whether the routines are being scored, someone should sit at a judges table and acknowledge the athletes as they present themselves before and after each routine.

The ultimate goal is to train athletes to perform routines independently, but some athletes may need visual cues, especially in the first competition. Others may always need visual cues. If an athlete has physical disabilities that make a skill too difficult or impossible to perform, try to find a way to alter the skill so that the athlete can include it in the routine. Remember – there are deductions for changing the routine, but the athlete should have the opportunity to compete within her abilities. Teach the presentation to the judge as an integral part of each routine. The athlete should know how to acknowledge the judge, walk onto the floor and assume the beginning pose for each routine and with each piece of apparatus. The athlete should also practice the salute to the judge at the completion of each routine.

In a competition, the judges will sit by Side 1 of the floor exercise mat. Refer to the Rules section of this guide for a diagram of the competition floor. Athletes should be dressed neatly in appropriate attire for competition. Long hair must be securely pulled back. Remember, the judge forms a first impression as the athlete walks onto the floor!
