Great interest in gymnastics courses in the Gulf

Gymnastics courses organized to contribute to the healthy development of children in Körfez are gaining interest. Currently, 120 young athletes are participating in the free gymnastics courses held by the Körfez Municipality at the Multipurpose Sports Hall on weekends. Through gymnastics training, children’s physical attributes such as coordination, balance, and flexibility are developed, while self-confidence and discipline are also instilled. Additionally, cultural and humanitarian values such as teamwork, sports ethics, and respect for sports rules are taught. After two years of basic training in gymnastics, young athletes are directed to other sports disciplines according to their skills and structure. Those who continue with gymnastics progress quickly towards professionalism by advancing to different training stages.

Sinem Karakaynak, a coach from Körfez Municipality, provided information about the gymnastics courses, expressing their satisfaction with the interest shown. She stated, “Children want to move and expend their energy in daily life. Based on this, we are organizing courses in various sports, especially gymnastics, to contribute to the conscious development of children and to help them expend their energy in the right places. Gymnastics is known to be the starting and fundamental point of many sports branches. Those who start with gymnastics are not only successful in their own disciplines but also in other different sports as well.”

Coach Sinem Karakaynak emphasized the importance of gymnastics in the developmental process of children, saying, “Currently, we are working with 120 children born in 2019. We conduct our classes at the Körfez Municipality Multipurpose Sports Hall on Saturdays and Sundays. After providing training for a year, we also direct them to other sports branches that are suitable for their talents and structures. Our gymnastics courses continue with a total of 6 groups, with 3 sessions each weekend.”
