Catleaps Gymnastics Coaching
Leadership
Catleaps Gymnastics has a strong track record for training and mentoring people into gymnastics coaching.
Bringing together keen and willing volunteers girls and boys from 14 years plus, and male and female adults, from an education, club and community setting to develop their own skills whilst volunteering within the world of gymnastics. Skills ranging from administration and management, coaching and judging through to event organising, health and safety and marketing.
We train our leaders through an introductory programme to volunteering within gymnastics based on the ‘super six’ areas of volunteering:
- Coaching
- Judging
- Events
- Publicity & Promotion
- Health, Safety & Welfare
- Admin & Management

Gymnastics Coach Development
We guide the leaders through our scheme onto Coaching Awards and Judging qualifications, including generic sports training.
They are also provided with the opportunity to volunteer at national, regional, and local events and in a club setting.
Key staff members at the club are trained through a mentoring programme to ensure that our volunteers receive a high-quality experience.
Being involved in gymnastics over the years has helped me understand commitment, hard work and persistence. Gymnastics can be a major part of all dance. We throw Perri around and do tumbles in our dance routines so timing is crucial. The leadership academy for me was an informal group of teenagers coming together to make a change, very similar to the beginnings of Diversity. Dream, Believe, Achieve!
