Pyramid of Learning for Inclusive & Adaptive Gymnastics Coaching

This one-page visual outlines the foundational progression for inclusive and adaptive gymnastics coaching — from regulation and felt safety to communication, developmental milestones, and skill progressions.



Designed for coaches, therapists, and educators, this guide helps you:

• Identify where your athlete is within the learning pyramid
• Prioritize regulation and connection before skill work
• Bridge sensory, developmental, and gymnastics progressions
• Use evidence-based frameworks including Ayres Sensory Integration, Zones of Regulation, Polyvagal Theory, and Pyramid of Learning (Taylor & Trott, 1991)

This is a perfect quick-reference tool for your gym wall, staff room, or coaching binder.
