THE WORLD'S GYMNASTIC EQUIPMENT SPECIALISTS

~~~~o~~

The American Gymnastics Scene ed. He rationalized that he controlled the athletes, the physical plants, but had very little strength in the make -up of AAU policy. It was an intolerable situation in which a few men were dictating the future of gymnastics in this coun'try with ~ery little consultation with the collegiate coaches. The coaches from our institutions of higher learning rose up in ind~gnat~on and roared only through democratic prin ciple can we accomplish what is best for gymnastics.

High School Gymnastics BILL ROETZHEIM-Provisio East High School Maywood, Illinois

When I finished last month's column which was a summarization of high school tournaments in my area, It looked more like a book than an article. I made up my mind right on the spot that I would take it a little bit easier this month and use some material that you requested and that I had on hand SomE\thing happened, however, while I was attending the NCAA at Southern which is once again pushing my pen into a crusade.

It must be pointed out that at no time did the AAU ever try and intervene as to the make-up of a colsed collegiate meet, but was dictating international and open policy only.

How amazing it is that in such a few short years these same coaches no longer need the democratic process, but have advanced intellectually to the point where they know what is best for gymnastics in this country! "After all, high school coaches, if you don't like the rules we make, stay with your own program. We are not trying to tell you how to run your meets."

Sound familiar????

On Saturday, April 1st, the collegiate gymnastic coaches held their annual meeting at which time they voted to make recommendations on rules changes to their rules committee. As I stood in the doorway and watched this affair unfold, I realized that I was watching a repeat performance of ten years ago-only with a new cast of players.

I am a strong advocate of the Federation and was fortunate enough to attend many of the meetings that led to the conception of this organization. I will ad. dress myself mainly from the coach ' s viewpoint and leave t'he political upheaval between the AAU and NCAA completely out of my observation of the birth of the Federation.

The ironical thing is that a group that felt surpressed and dominated over six to ten international gymnasts they could not control would disregard coaches' programs who are sending approximately 35% of their boys on to participate at the collegiate ranks. If the college policies do not affect me as a high school coach maybe they can inform me how you stimulate a boy to work an event for four years that is not incl~ded at the collegiate ranks.

From a college coach's standpoint he wanted an organization other than the AAU to control open and international meets in which he was more democratically represent-

In conjunction with the NCAA meet, the National High School Coaches' Association held its annual meeting. Your new president it Jerry Jacqulene of Addison Trail High School.

Rather than my wriying up this meeting, I will include a copy of the minutes as soon as I receive them. If they are not sent to me before this goes tQ press I will include them in the next is sue • If you have not joined this organization and therefore do not have this year's excellent manual, I would advise you to do so at once. I would also like to congratulate your past president, Sid Drain. Sid did a very fine job. If you would like to join and receive the National manual, write to Sid at Maine West High School, Des Plaines, Illinois.

I heard three coaches bemoan the fact that high schools did not stress all-around and thus were hurting our international program. This point I would not attempt to argue. My only defence would be that we do treat it equal to other even ts and offer team points at the same rate as any other competitive apparatus. At the collegiate ranks no team points or team recognition was given on the basis of the all-around men 1 s performances. It would be very hard for anyone to argue that Southern Illinois, Iowa, or Michigan, owed their high placing to their outstanding attack of all-ar1ound gymnasts.

be structured in such a way as to obtain these viewpoints and then act in the best intere s ts of gymnastics. I am not opposing your decision, but rather the autocratic means by which you derived your program.

At least the AAU gave you token representation. It 1 s easy to pay lip service to democratic principle and apparently that's all you 're willing to do for if you took the time to look over the NCAA rules committee make-up in other sports, you would find the high school coach represented on seven NCAA rules committees. As an afterthought, don't be so quick to brag in my presence that you control the bulk of US gymnasts and the majority of physical plants.

In other words we would like to improve our international strength in gymnastics so we cannot compete?

I hope no one has inferred by these ramblings that I believe high schools have the answers as to what is best for gymnastics. I honestly believe that as a group we are just as fouled up as the rest of you - but I will say until true representatives of the high school program, colleges, and open organizations sit down together once a year to discuss and make specific recommendations as to the rules of our sport we are all in trouble .

HIGH SCHOOL REPORT (can't) North American Championships last week. I think my own experience in working with the AAU in this meet certainly had merit.

We should all go back once every ten years and participate in an AAU sponsored gymnastic function for we tend to forget just how fouled up this organization really is and in working with them you quickly find out that things have not changed. I think this only tends to reiterate my earlier statement that we should all begin to pull together for the good of gymnastics. As I said, the colleges and high schools do not have.all the answers in developing a gymnastic program and I can most unequivocally state neither does the AAU.

Richard Martin Report by Carl Patterson Richard Martin jumped into the lead with a fine performance in Floor Exercise to score 9. 35. He has good difficulty and excellent style. Dan Warbutton was close behind with a 9 .15. Rick McCurdy scored 8. 95. All three ran into trouble on the Side Horse. Warbutton and McCurdy, two of the better side horse men entered, had broken routines and scored 5 .60 and 6. 75 respectively. This was a break for Martin.

Even though side horse is probably his weakest event, he was able to retain his all-around lead by scoring 6 .80. Dan Warbutton did an excellent job on the Horizontal Bar by covering very well, what could have been a disastrous major break to win the event with a 9 .45. Martin took second with 8. 75. McCurdy again ran in to trouble by doing a very flat jam and pulled an 8. 05 in one of his real good events.

McCurdy bounced back by doing a great "Yamashita" for his Long Horse Vault. This vault had to be the best individual effort in the competition. Rick won the event with a 9.40. DanWarbuttonwasfourthwitha 8.65.

Martin fell behind with a score of 8.30.

THE EASTERN STATES HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASTIC CHAMPIONSHIP

The calibre of work being done by high school gymnasts this year is definitely on the rise. Many new schools have added competing teams and competition is intense.

The Highlight of high school gymnastics in the east was the Temple University Gymnastic Team Alumni Invitational meet which is known as the "Eastern States High School Gymnastic Championships". This meet was held at Temple University on Saturday, April 8, 1967 The best gymnasts from the high schools in Massachusettes, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland competed in this event. Over sixty medal winners in State, Area and League Championships from thirty five schools qualified for the meet. The competition was judged according to modified F .I.G. rules by ten judges assigned by the eastern division of the National Gymnastic Judges Association.

It was quite evident from the first event that the battle for the all-around crown was going to be among three fine gymnasts. They were Dan Warbutton, a junior from Belle Vernon, Pa; Richard Martin, the Massachusetts all-around king from Newton, Mass. and Rick Mc Curdy, New Jersey's top all-around gymnast from _Henry Hudson County Regional High School in Highlands, New Jersey.

At this point, Richard Martin held the lead in the all-around with 33. 20, McCurdy had 33.15 and Warbutton's total was 32. 80. Things looked very good for the Parallel Bar Champion from Massachusettes as Richard Martin went up on his favorite event. Unfortunately, he came off the bar on his back catch missing his chance to win this event and solidify his all-around lead.

National AAU Judges List: At the meeting of the Men's AAU Gymnastics Technical Committee a list of 18 judges was presented and approved as an initial list of National caliber judges. Only those judges on this list will be considered eligible for international competition.

This initial list, however, is only a starting point.

Judges Associations are encouraged to submit names of qualified judges-these judges will then be eligible to take the National Judges test (a 4 hour exam).

Once on the National list a judge will be required to retake the national test every 2 years.

When the body is at least 60 degrees and with the shoulders no lower than the elbows: (it appears to me that 70 to 75 degrees should be required).

This would be subject to a triple deduction: .1-.3 for pressing swing move. .1-.3 for form breaks .1-.3 for technical errors This would then be true for a dislocateshoot to a handstand on the rings:

It would be a "B" move with a possible triple deduction with a minimum deduction being at least .2 tenths.

WOMEN JS GYMNASTICS

3. teachers lacking training in this sport as well as the confidence to try to teach it anyway even with the aid of books , magazines and films.

4. an unappreciative administration regarding girls athletics.

These realistic situations are dis couraging but they need not stand in the way of providing a program in a sport that is gaining overwhelming popularity with girls as well as gaining national respect for characteristics of fitness and elegance.

The most important factor in introducing any program is ENTHUSI.AM FOR THE ACTIVITY, not facility, equipment or extensive training. If one is enthusiastic it is possible to eventually get these other things. Rome was not built in one day.

Report by Terry Sendgraff

HOW TO START A GIRLS GYMNASTICS PROGRAM The ideal situation is to have:

1.

2.

a beautiful facility a complete set or two of gymnastic

equipment for girls - a balance beam, uneven parallel bars, vaulting horse and free exercise and two or three overhead safety mechanics.

3. a competent teacher with a background in dance and gymnastics.

4. students with early dance and acrobatic training who are willing to make sacrifices and work hard.

1. The teacher, coach or sponsor should acquaint herself with basic activities of gymnastics through books, magazines, films, clinics, summer camps, and other gymnastic programs in nearby regions.

2. Start with a small nucleus of girls inspire them with a well planned fundamental program of tumbling and free exercise in which they can find a measure of success and self-confidence with an opportunity to demonstrate their accomplish ment when they are ready to make a good .presentation.

3. Set up requirements of gymnastic attire regular attendance, sportsmanlike behavior and good work habits. Expect and demand reasonable but challenging results. Children as well as adults will become more involved and more interested if they know that someone cares and expects accomplishments.

A fundamental program

1. Begin each session with a warm up routine, preferablyw1thmusic that is lively and fun and movements that are simple but active enough to warm up the entire body generally.

Being very realistic however, the following situations usually exist:

1. a facility that is shared most of the time with other groups and other activities.

2. little or no equipment.

2. Follow the warm up with an organized tumbling session, teaching the following 12 fundamental skills: -20-

. ¡ }.-

forward roll 2. backward roll 3. backward roll extension 4. handstand front limber 5. cartwheel 6. round-off 7. layout headspring 8. front walkover 9. layout front handspring 10. back walkover 11. back handspring 12. split

1.

IT CANNOT BE OVEREMPHASIZED THAT THESE BASIC Sia:LLS BE TAUGHT AND PERFORMED WITH GREAT AMPLITUDE AND ELEGANCE REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT THEY ARE FUNDAMENTAL. TO HOLD INTEREST AND CREATE MORE CHALLENGE, COMBINE THE Sia:LLS AND REQUIRE THE GYMNAST TO CREATE SEQUENCES BY ADDING SIMPLE TRANSITIONAL MOVES SUCH AS PIROUETTES, AS WELL AS

CHANGING LEVEL, DIRECTION, FOLLOW-THROUGH, USE OF ARMS AND LEGS AND CHANGE OF PACE.

3. Provide compulsory seguences that all must learn and perform with perfection.

4. Allow a period of time for free work-out in which the gymnast may practice on skills of her own choice.

5. As the gymnasts become more accomplished, provide a complete routine of free exercise that contains the skills they have learned and see that they learn it with perfection.

6 â&#x20AC;¢ The final expectation is that each gymnast compose and present an optional routine.

The above program, if presented correctly in an average situation, would and should take about 1 year.

of the

Anyone interested in hosting an international meet might be interested to know that the FIG requires notice of such a meet 2 months in advance and a 3% sanction fee.

According to the technical committee this applys to college dual meets also, which I am sure will raise some problems (already has).

Doing a crown mount with left hand on neck, right hand on left pommel, does not satisfy this requirement, as far as the neck is concerned.

17. Pan American Games and Judges: Final trials in Minneapolis will be held primarily on Sat. and Sun. July 8-9. Judges interested in the meet should think in terms of July 5 to 9.

There will be a training camp for the team members July 17 to 22. Competition in Winnipeg is scheduled between July 22 and August 7. Judges should also plan to be available for these two periods.

g. Hip circle mount(kip circle shoot to handstand on far bar) h. Side horse; double leg circle in cross support (loop) same move to loop :!z turn dismount.

12. Extra Superior Judge:

... --

.,_

It was decided that scores from Natch-

itoches (NaKuTosh) would not be averaged into the scores in Minneapolis.

Future international contests will utilize an extra superior judge on the side horse to varify difficulty: In other words there will be 6 judges.

There will be one compulsory and one optional routine required in Minneapolis.

13. Horizontal Bar requirements:

Phil Voas and Richard Lloyd were permitted to compete in the final trials in Minneapolis due to injury's in Natachi toches.

There should be at least 2 in-bar movements (this is not a rule but an evaluation).

Difficulty on the Horizontal Bar: the following movements are affected by the preceeding move: Straddles, Stoops, Crowns, are A moves; when executed out of a giant they become "B" moves.

18. World University Championships-Tokyo: A team consisting of Makoto Sakamoto, Kanati Allen, Sid Freudenstein, and Arno Lascari and Coach Ron Barak was named to participate in the World University championships'in Tokyo August 24, 1967. Dave Thor was listed as alternate if the extra money is raised.

Yoshi Hayasaki will replace Makoto Sakamoto in the event Yoshi becomes an American citizen before the entry dead -

third choice would then be to have just the camp.

The following are notes from the Olympic committee meeting: 1.

d. It was also decided that Olympic coach Jack Beckner would be given authority to select his own staff and he and his staff would then select the 20 gymnasts to attend the camp.

(I am sure that Jack would welcome any nominations for prospects to attend - prospects should be definite candidates for the 1968 Olympic teamL

Vote for Olympic Coach: Nominees: Bill Meade, Newt Loken, Eric Hughes, Bill Crenshaw, Jack Beckner, Frank Cumiskey, Gene Wettstone, and Abe Grossfeld.

After a close vote Bill Meade withdrew his name and Jack Beckner was named the 1968 Olympic Coach for Men's gymnast~ i c s.

Nominees: Newt Loken, Bill Meade, Hal Frey, Bill Goldie, Carl Patterson, Gar 0' Quinn, George Szypula, Don Wilderoter, and Don Tonry.

e. The date of the camp would be either August 1st to August 21st or July 9th to 17th with first choice being August 1st to 21st 1967.

After a very close vote between Wilderoter and Meade it was decided to table the balloting and finish it by mail.

It was reported later (unofficially) that Wilderoter withdrew his name in favor of Bill Meade.

f. In conjunction with the above it was pointed out that the final Olympic trials would probably be held Labor Day weekend 1968.

BIG 10 COACHES PROTEST NCAA RULING

Olympic Training Camp Much discussion centered around having another camp similar to the one held at Penn State prior to the World Games.

The Big 10 gymnastics coaches at their recent meeting in Chicago protested the ruling recently adopted by the NCAA Executive Council which eliminates trampoline from collegiate competition and further limits the number of individuals and teams to be represented in the NCAA Championships.

It was decided that the following course of action be taken (depending on money available. a. First choice would be to have a training camp and also send a team to the pre-Olympic games to be held in Mexico October 1967.

The coaches requested the directives be suspended until after the various coaches associations, conferences, leagues, etc. have had an opportunity to present their viewpoints on the matter.

b. Second choice: would be to just send a team to the pre-Olympics (if not enough money was available for both.) c.
