Since 2000, Winstrada have been providing resources for teachers and coaches to help provide the safe, structured and progressive development of their pupils.
Development scheme wallcharts and class check-off sheets are available, free of charge, to download and print from your own computer.
Badge and certificate awards (order by post or order online ) are available for the accomplishment of each grade and these are supplied worldwide
During 2012-13, we are expanding and developing the services we source and provide. This is to accommodate the increasing need for reliable and cost efficient services for recreational clubs and self employed coaches. It is our intention to be able to provide everything a recreational or therapeutic gymnastic club or coach will require, without restrictive policies or costs.
So far in 2012 we have sourced insurance provision for self employed coaches and another one for clubs. Also, along with bodies representing other sports, we have sourced coaching courses which provide a cost effective alternative to the UKCC route for those who wish to coach recreational and therapeutic gymnastics and trampolining.
Other planned services include a recreational competitions and events calendar.
In 2013 we will be introducing a Quality Assurance Kitemark scheme for clubs, centres, coaches and trainers.
Also in 2013 we will be sourcing an agency for gymnasts, trampolinists and coaches who are interested in TV, theatre and commercial work.
How are we able to do all this without large membership costs?Winstrada is run by enthusiasts who are dedicated to the concept of recreational and therapeutic sports and activities being available to as wide a range of the population as possible. We are helped in our mission by a number of organisations involved in gymnastics and trampolining who generously sponsor this website. Links to these organisations will be shown on the home page later in the year and all we ask of you is that you will consider these companies when making purchases of gymnastic or trampolining related products or services.
