Russ Jackman is our head coach and holds the Senior Club Coach award and is a Coach Tutor. Emma Bell and Julie Hardy hold the Senior Club Coach Award. The Club Coach award is held by Genni Jackman and Lesley Sung. The Coach Award is held by Sue Garnham, Gemma McMeekin, Kathryn Bowles, Alison Edwards, Jenny Hardy, Cara Stubbs and Hannah Ward Rebekah Bridge and Rebecca Novak are Awards level coaches and Sophie Myers Glyn Dickinson Linda Walker and Laura Wright are Assistant coaches

Genni Jackman, Karen Young, Helen Billingham Alison Edwards, and Ann Roberts hold the Judge Award. Lesley Sung holds the County Judge Award.

We also have three unqualified volunteer coaches, and voluntary help from Katrina and Kim Stubbs, so we are a club with plenty of support and input for the performers. This interest is invaluable for the life of the club.

We work to the syllabus of British Gymnastics to give safe progressive learning. Properly taught skills will give young children a head start in their school sporting and physical educational lives as most skills and processes easily transfer to other sports and activities. It also has the invaluable social advantage of enabling young people to play and co-operate with one another in an atmosphere of learning.

We have ten qualified coaches, four at Club coach level and one at Senior Club coach, who has also performed at National level many times. The club has the knowledge and experience to teach the most basic to the most advanced skills, right up to multiple twisting and multiple somersaults with correct and precise technique.

To cover the cost of insurance and administration, an annual family membership fee of £10 per family is required. It is because classes are small that it is the reserved place that is paid for rather than the attendance, so absences must be paid for, as in all other termly or block booked classes. However, if you know in advance that you will absent, you may send a friend in your place who can then pay you.

We look forward to hearing from you and to joining us.
