▪️▪️▪️GYMNASTICS LEADERSHIP ACADEMY PROGRAMME FOR 11-17 YEARS▪️▪️▪️
British Gymnastics (the National Governing Body for gymnastics in the UK) have created the Leadership Academy programme for 11-17 year olds to help develop their leadership skills within gymnastics. The programme introduces Young Leaders to the various roles and opportunities available within gymnastics, helps them to identify their strengths and the aspects of gymnastics they enjoy and encourages leaders to stay within the sport for longer.
We facilitate this by supporting Young Leaders in following the Leadership Academy programme structure as follows...
▪️Learning: Completing a number of different educational courses/qualifications, related to sport in general and also specific to gymnastics.
▪️Development: Identifying a mentor and learning from working alongside them.
▪️Volunteering: Volunteering at events and competitions.
▪️Future Planning: Producing a development plan and working towards completing their goals.
▪️Projects: Running a project to develop their organisational and planning skills and to benefit their Club.
We are hosting a welcome meeting on Saturday 19th September at 13:30-14:30, as the commencement of the 2026-2027 year of the programme.
