Ant looked at the plan on his clipboard and then looked around the gym with a nod. While he had been hesitant about holding these clinics when he had first started coaching here, he enjoyed them now, and as his team had dropped to three since the end of the school year, he needed more gymnasts, and what better way to show them how much fun gymnastics could be than to hold a fun day.
All of the beams were lowered. Yes, it was important for the students to learn how to fall properly, he wasn't going to risk them in doing so. On the floor mat, he had placed a spring board and box for them to jump onto and then off again, teaching them how to land properly. The bars had also been lowered, so that they could be reached with just a little bounce. And there was the tumbling lane (trampoline), that ended in a foam pit.
He glanced toward the door and nodded when Cara walked in, and then tucked his clipboard under his arm as he waited for anyone else who was going to join them. "Start stretching and warming up and we'll get started when everyone has arrived." He said as each person walked in.

Cara couldn't work out if she was nervous or excited as she pulled her team leotard on and then made her way down to the gymnastics studio. She was excited, because that's just how she was when she was heading to gymnastics, nervous because she knew that Coach Hoefflin would want her to show some moved to whoever showed up for the clinic, and as the one gymnast on campus, she was it.
Entering the studio, she bowed her head toward her coach and walked over to start on her warm up stretches. Even though she knew this wasn't going to be a normal practice, she still wanted to make sure her muscles were ready for a good work out.
