Young Leaders Programme

Our Young Leaders

Our Young Leaders are a group of volunteers, usually gymnasts (but not always) from around 14 years, who are developing their own skills while volunteering within the Academy.

The programme is run with support and mentoring from one of our senior GFA staff members.

As well as gaining experience in coaching, judging and helping run events, there are a range of training courses which the Young Leaders can attend towards their professional development, and they can progress to full coaching and judging qualifications in due course.

We are pleased to support the programme and our Young Leaders are a valued part of our Academy.
