Gymnastics and Trampoline Coach Training courses

Unlock your coaching potential with the 3-Step Pathway™— the premier programme for aspiring gymnastics and trampoline coaches. Whether you wish to coach in clubs, schools, or leisure centres, this dynamic training is tailored for you.

The 3-Step Pathway™ moves away from the outdated assistant and lead coach systems; instead, each course in the pathway stands alone as an independent Level 2 equivalent qualification. If you’re 18 or older, you’ll be fully qualified to lead and teach sessions based on the level of your completed course.

This programme also offers a fantastic opportunity for parents and older gymnasts to step into coaching roles. Parents can get involved right away, and upon completing the first course, they can begin teaching at that level. If they wish, they can advance to Step 2 and Step 3 later on—but the choice is entirely theirs. Some may prefer focusing on beginners, pre-school, or special needs, while others might discover a passion for teaching more advanced skills. The journey is theirs to shape!

For those under 18, you're welcome to join the courses (provided you meet the minimum age requirements) and upon completion will be equipped to assist in sessions. Once you turn 18, you will automatically transition into being validated to lead and teach without supervision.

With a nationwide network of course tutors, you can progress with confidence, knowing you can train to become certified to teach at each new level as and when you are ready, and at a location to suit you.

All courses are based on the internationally recognised Winstrada gymnastics and trampoline development and award schemes, and all course tutors are chosen from the very best in the industry, ensuring you receive top-quality training.

Join the 3-Step Pathway™—the preferred coaching method of leading gymnastics organisations and leisure providers. Start your journey today and make a real difference in the lives of young athletes!
