I already talked about different advantages of sports clubs but there’re
still some important points left. I’m speaking about the possibilities only a
club has because of his member and fees structure. Some people criticize the
fees of a club because they think practicing parkour should be free and open
for everybody. And in a way they’re right but on the other hand the collected
money provides lots of possibilities like the following…
SPORTS HALLS FOR PRACTICING
Even if parkour and freerunning are practiced outside most of the time,
a sports hall is useful to start with more difficult jumps. For example, the use of mats make every first try of a difficult jump safer. The sports clubs have
the necessary connections to the government and enough money to rent sports
halls for weekly training units.
OBSTACLES AND GYMNASTIC ELEMENTS
The collected money could also be used for new obstacles and gymnastic elements. Usually gymnastic elements should be part of every sports hall and
can easily be used for parkour. If not the club can buy some. In addition, nowadays
there is a range of different obstacles which are specified for parkour and
freerunning. As you can see in the following pictures there’re single boxes or
even complete systems of boxes and bars. The club can think about purchase
something similar to that.
PARKOUR AND FREERUNNING PARK
Another possible investment is an outdoor parkour and freerunning park.
In the following video is shown an example at Wuppertal. You can see that it
consists out of different obstacles such as walls, boxes, and bars. An
important factor is that the obstacles are connected and can be used in a row.
Everything else is up to the practitioner who has to show their creativity.
Hello I like the last video =)
