Introduction

 British Gymnastics resources and awards are designed to help and support coaches and teachers to develop gymnastics skills in the most effective way whilst encouraging a sense of motivation, challenge and achievement in the gymnast. They ensure development of core skills such as balance, strength, flexibility and co-ordination and are based on the concept of completing one level of skills before progressing to the next level.

They provide the gymnast with the motivation of earning rewards for their achievements in the form of certificates, badges and medals. Badges are available to purchase upon gaining a pass.

 

Badges 8 - 2 £2.50 includes Badge & Certificate

Badge 1 - £5.00 includes Badge & Certificate & Medal

National Development Plans ( NDP)/Grades are available and used in our development pathways for squads. Further detail on these are available from your head coach.

The programmes have been designed by professionals from the sport of gymnastics and the world of education. The teaching of skills is increasingly supported by resource packs incorporating coaching aids and highlighting key teaching points. Interest in the sport has never been stronger. Gymnasts enjoy the sport in RGTC, we offer a pathway from beginner through to Elite. The programmes help build the necessary foundation skills and are linked to the National Curriculum.
