Young Leaders

Our Young Leaders Programme is a great way for gymnasts to remain involved in the sport, give back to the community, follow an interest in coaching and develop valuable leadership skills. ​

​Under the guidance and mentoring of our senior staff members and coaches, Young Leaders gain experience in coaching, judging, running events and supporting our younger gymnasts. You can attend a range of training courses, complete a section of your Duke of Edinburgh Award, work towards coaching / judging qualifications or just have something interesting to add to a personal statement or CV.
