Tips and Tricks #3
Mats with multiple uses
Top three mats you need in your gym.
1. Inclines - This mat can be used to teach an athlete a front roll to standing fulls. Inclines allow the athlete to gain confidence and they are an advantage when practicing skills.

2. Panel Mats - The uses of a panel mat vary for every situation. Use panel mats for conducting drills and working in stations. Use one for handstands and have another panel mat for cartwheels and/or round-offs. Use panel mats for stretching drills or as a barrier for athletes that reach across their body when tumbling. The uses for this mat are endless. Definitely a must have for any gym.
3.Landing Mats - A good landing mat can go a long way, whether using it for a dismounting surface, on an apparatus, or learning skills for the first time on the floor. When partnered with a good throw mat, this combo allows for a softer landing when developing skills.
