Our Proficiency Award Scheme course is a Level 0 qualification that is open to anyone aged 14 and over. The qualification allows you to coach up to 8 gymnasts using the Proficiency Awards under the supervision of a level 2 coach in a club environment.

Our Introduction to Judging course is our entry level officiating qualification which is based on our Key Step Gymnastics resource.

Volunteering Opportunities

Our Norfolk Gymnastics Leadership Academy is a volunteering programme for 14-19 yr olds. The aim is to provide the leaders with various volunteering opportunities within the community and then we reward them by part-funding some of their chosen gymnastics courses. The leaders are also invited to our annual Young Leaders Camp where they get to meet leaders from other NGB's and are provided with several leadership opportunities.
