Our Staff

Gladstone Gymnastics Club goes to great lengths to recruit the right people in each position to ensure we continue to offer a high standard of gymnastics to our community.

All our Coaches are State and National qualified and accredited in the specific disciplines they teach. Coaches who are in training are under the supervision of a qualified coach. Many of our coaches also hold tertiary degrees and qualifications in related disciplines of education, sport science or sport management. Accreditation procedures also require that coaches hold a current Senior First Aid certificate or equivalent and Positive Notice Blue Card (Working with Children Card).

It is a requirement of employment with Gladstone Gymnastics that coaches participate in regular in-house training sessions as well as attend professional workshops and courses throughout the year.
