Gymnastics EH head coach Elizabeth Huckabone is no stranger to the local gymnastics scene.
Her mother was a part of the former Renfrew Gymnastics Club, and Elizabeth would spend much of her childhood playing and learning on the equipment. Using those skills developed from a young age, she would find herself coaching gymnastics while attending university in North Bay before eventually returning home to put together a new local program some 10 years later.
Elizabeth teaches the fundamentals from the ground up, with her focus currently on kids ages 5 to 12. It all starts with learning how to fall properly and builds up from there, depending on the child’s level of ability.
She enjoys being able to watch her students explore new concepts and master new skills, noting that there is no issue engaging with them once they begin to put new techniques into practice.
