But where to begin? With so much to choose from in terms of equipment and so many retailers offering a variety of deals, it can be challenging to know where best to turn, especially when a child’s safety and success is at stake. Here are some tips on what to look for when purchasing home gymnastics equipment:

Back to Basics 
When it comes to putting together the best practice space for your gymnast at home, you need to start with the basics and that includes gymnastics beams and gymnastics bars.

     
       *Gymnastics Beams - These are one of the most fundamental pieces of gymnastics equipment that every young gymnast needs. There are several varieties from which to choose including low balance beams for those just learning (and aren’t ready to be too far off the ground yet), high balance beams best for simulating competition, adjustable beams for a variety of heights, and even folding balance beams for practicing on the go.

            *Gymnastics Bars - While more advanced than balance beams, gymnastics bars are still among the basics of gymnastics equipment and come in a variety of adjustable and non-adjustable heights. This particular piece of equipment also    includes parallette bars, similar to push up bars or dip bars that offer the sensation of being on the parallel bars and allow for a great way to practice.

            *Gymnastics Mats - Of course, no practice is complete without gymnastics mats. Tumbling mats come in a variety of styles including folding mats for versatility, sectional mats to easily expand the practice area, landing mats with 4” of thickness for the safest of landings, incline mats for practicing handsprings,        walkovers, and rolls.
