Some history on my own gymnastics experiences.
I started my life as a gymnast doing acrobatics at Katie's Dance Studio in El Cerrito. I soon started taking gymnastics classes at Golden Bear Gymnastics. Where I had a multitude of coaches including some members of the Cal men's team. When I graduated from high school I attended UC Davis where I was a member of the UCD Men's Team. Being a club team, we did not have a full time coach. At times we had fantasitc volunteer coaches, other times we were forced to fend for ourselves. I spent a lot of time coaching as well as training. The wonderfull staff of the UC Davis women's gymnastics team helped us out when they could take time away from the women. While in Davis I was head coach of the boy's gymnastics team at Davis Gymnastics. I have yet to find a job that is as much fun, and I probably never will. I currently train at Marin Elite Gymnastics Acadamy when I can find time.
What I would like to do with this page is set up a drills and skills forum. I have found limited skill tips and drills on the web scattered various places across the web, but no one location that contains a large amount of information. I am going to look work with the FIG code and build a skills and drills database. If you know of a page already doing this please save me some work and E-mail rjharrel@engr.ucdavis.edu. Also E-mail rjharrel@engr.ucdavis.edu if you have some drill ideas.
