2013-14 saw the introduction of the British
Gymnastics Leadership Acadmey to Flipitas. This Scheme was
introdcuced to keep teenagers and young adults interested in the
sport. The Leadership at Flipitas is made up of gymnasts who
are aged 11years upwards whom are interested in coaching and other
job roles within the club. The leadership are an absolute pleasure
to have in the Club they work closely alongside the senior team and
are becoming
fantastic coaches themselves in the
process.
Leaders are mentored by Senior Coaches and take
part in the BG Proficiency Award Scheme. As soon as
they are 16 they are given the opportunity to take their Level 1
Qualification. So far we have progressed 11 Leaders into
Level 1 Coaches and two of those went on to the apprenticeship
scheme.
