The 3-step pathway to Gymnastics and Trampoline Coach Training
Authority Sports UK and Gymnastic Britannia approved
The 3-step pathway is the most popular programme of training courses for those who wish to coach recreational gymnastics and trampolining in schools, clubs or leisure centres.
The programme moves away from the old system of Level 1 assistant and Level 2 lead coach. Instead, if the candidate is 18 years of age or over, he or she is validated to lead and teach sessions up to the level covered by the course that has been completed. When the coach is ready to move on to the next step, he or she will be validated to lead and teach up to the level covered by that course. Some coaches may not wish to teach beyond step 1 or step 2 (for instance, if they only teach pre-school, special needs or mainstream beginners) and that is fine.
Candidates under the age of 18 can still attend the courses (subject to the minimum age requirements) and can assist in sessions until they reach the age of 18, when they will automatically be validated to lead and teach unsupervised.
All courses are based on the internationally recognised Winstrada gymnastics and trampoline development and award schemes.
The 3-step pathway is offered by a coalition of gymnastic bodies.*
All the courses are approved by Gymnastic Britannia, and their membership includes insurance for all the courses below as well as courses provided by other recognised providers.
