For years, Coach Al Fong has produced championship level athletes using techniques and equipment developed over a long and illustrious career. These blocks have been a staple in his gymnastics program, and will be indispensable in yours, too! Al first developed the blocks to create a "channel bar" station -- above the ground. The blocks are made of a special firm foam on the sides and bottom creating a more stable environment, which coaches appreciate for safety reasons.
- Teach gymnasts skill progressions early on for handstands, giants and release moves (ideal for spotting bar skills safely).
- Train beam skills, including mounts and dismounts, using the 4-inch white line that appears on top of each block.
- Use blocks on their rigid side for conditioning, plyometric or flexibility stations.
- Turn blocks on their edges to create dynamic obstacle courses for a great cardio workout.
- Made of firm, yet lightweight, foam that is covered in easy-to-clean vinyl.
- Strategically placed Velcro allows blocks to be securely stacked on top of each other, side by side, or end to end, providing endless configurations and use!
- Super lightweight with carrying handles for ease in moving from station to station.
