OUR COACHES
Here at WDYC all of our fantastic coaches are accredited and insured Gymnastics Australia and Gymnastics Queensland Coaches. They have all gone through rigorous training and education to be able to support all of our athletes through their gymnastics journey. Many of our coaches were also past athletes who are passionate about spreading their love for the sport to the next generation of gymnasts coming into our community. Our coaches believe they can make a difference and bring out the best in every child who attends our programs.
Within our club we have coaches ranging from Fundamental Beginner Coaches all the way through to our Advance Silver (Federation of International Gymnastics Accredited) Coaches who take on our senior competitive programs. Some of our coaches work across all of our disciplines and some work specifically within one of our programs. Across all of our competitive programs (Acrobatics, Tumbling, Aerobics and Women’s Artistic Gymnastics) our high level senior coaches have had decades worth of combined experience in the sport and have developed athletes who have represented WDYC and Queensland at Australian National Championships.
The WDYC coaches:
Are fully accredited with Gymnastics Australia;
Have completed a Working with Children Check (Bluecard);
Are trained in first aid and CPR;
Attend ongoing mandatory training to support a Child Safe, Child Friendly and Sport Specific environment.
WDYC will endeavour to ensure consistency with the competitive coaching staff. In the event of a coach being absent due to illness or other commitments, an alternate coach will be appointed or the affected athletes will be divided amongst other groups/squads/classes/programs at the absolute discretion of WDYC in line with the membership terms and conditions.
Here at WDYC all our programs are supported by a Club Manager, Program Coordinator and a Team Leaders. This enables us to focus on strong communication and support for our coaches.
Our coaches are here to help your child grow their confidence, build their strength and gain fundamental gymnastics skills that are transferable in every day life.
