The Easy Mat helps gymnasts and tumblers quickly and easily learn the basic hand positions for many gymnastics skills. The creator of the Easy Mat, Coach Jacki, first had the epiphany of the mat while teaching children gymnastics. After some difficulty explaining the difference between "cartwheel hands" and "handstand hands" to a 4 year old it was clear there had to be a better way.
After several prototypes the Easy Mat was born. The visual simplicity of the mat makes it very easy for kids to learn gymnastics. Simply rotate the mat and teach a variety of skills. It is an invaluable tool for coaches and students alike.
The combination of the Easy Mat design and the step by step online lessons will help young children build a strong athletic foundation to build upon whether they want to make gymnastics a career, add a new move to a cheer/dance routine, or just increase their flexibility, strength or fitness. Kids love this mat and you will too!
