~CoachWayne!'s Tumbling-Instructor Skill Certification programs provide extraordinarily high standards of instructor training. Instead of packing dozens of coaches into seats for quick-lectures covering multiple skills, we work hands-on with a small group of coaches and dedicate more than two and a half hours to each individual skill.
While tumbling instructors certainly need a "tool-box" of drills, lessons, and exercises from which to pull their teaching curriculum, that's not NEARLY enough. Hearing and Seeing "concepts" is not adequate for reliable spotting & training methods. We believe that considerable physical practice is required.
In our clinic sessions, to ensure BEAUTIFUL, SAFE, EFFICIENT, PROGRESS-ABLE skill-development, we demand that tumbling instructors PRACTICE their spotting and training techniques with a MASTER-COACH guiding them, to repeatedly demonstrate the correct execution of each exercise. This is about developing and enhancing excellent coaching HABITS.
Think about everything that goes into spotting a tumbling skill. The spotter must perform several (changing/moving) precise hand-placements, quick foot movements, and the eyes must move in particular sequences to analyze specific parts of the students' movements.
All these actions must be performed correctly by the spotter while signaling instructions to the student and managing a class. That's no easy task-set, and it is truly what is required. We believe it's unreasonable to hope that coaches can figure this out on their own, to learn it in a 15-minute group-lecture or to receive training from unreliable, unproven sources.
So, in our clinic sessions, each instructor is taught these complex, skill-specific physical actions for spotting various exercises and drills. Then, with a master-instructor on-hand to guide, correct, encourage and amend, each instructor is required to practice these new techniques. Then they practice repeatedly, with a variety of student skill levels/sizes over an extended period of time. Then they are required to PROVE competency on demand. This physical testing of competency & adaptability is essential. Finally, a written test must be passed. This is just part of how a ~CoachWayne! Tumbling Instructor Certificate is earned.
"It is DEFINITELY effective to do the practicums in addition to the instruction sessions since you have a chance to apply everything you've just learned and quickly make it a habit."
~Coach Lauren Jaworski, Pittsburg, PA (from her post-clinic evaluation.)

* In order to pass the certification Practicum for spotting the Layout Full Twist session, attendees should be proficient at SPOTTING BACK TUCKS (500+ reps) During the twisting session several methods of teaching and spotting layout twists are taught and practiced. The dominant method is BUILT upon a variety of the Cross Arm Spot. We have found that coaches who are unfamiliar with the "Cross Arm Spot" method of spotting standing back tucks before attending the twisting sessions were unable to pass the certification.
