Box of Tricks – Grip Poles & Bean Bags
The Box of Tricks – Grip Poles & Bean Bags provides a dynamic and engaging way for children to develop essential grip and wrist strength. By catching the hook and loop bean bags placed on the bases of the poles, younger athletes strengthen the muscles they will later use for climbing, bar work, and other gymnastics activities. The set encourages coordination, focus, and timing while promoting safe and interactive play.
Teachers and instructors can create a variety of games and challenges that keep children motivated, while supporting physical skill development. Each pole is sturdy and designed to remain stable during use, allowing children to concentrate on technique rather than balance. The colorful bean bags add a visual element, helping children track targets and improve hand-eye coordination, while the set’s compact design allows easy storage between sessions. Overall, this equipment makes strength-building fun and accessible.
Durable, and Safe Design Suitable for Indoor use
Beyond basic grip development, the Grip Poles convert for more advanced exercises. When inverted or rearranged, the poles function as floor pommel handles or mini-bars, providing a foundation for sport-specific gymnastics skills. Instructors can integrate the poles into obstacle courses, skill circuits, or solo training activities. The set’s versatility encourages progressive skill development, allowing children to build confidence as they advance.
Its stability ensures safety while promoting correct technique, while the bean bags continue to challenge timing, coordination, and reaction. The poles’ compact design allows multiple setups within a small space, making it suitable for classrooms, primary schools, or community gyms. Teachers can combine the poles with other Box of Tricks equipment, such as balance beams or mats, to design fully integrated skill development sessions. Through play, repetition, and progressive challenges, children strengthen their grip, wrist control, and hand-eye coordination. The set fosters engagement, confidence, and enjoyment while supporting long-term physical development.
