Explore Diverse Disciplines: Get involved in sessions beyond recreational gymnastics, including Pre-School, Display, Adult, and SEND classes.
Community Outreach: Deliver sessions in local schools and help grow 2PRU’s impact in the wider community.
Class Control: Use effective techniques to manage groups of varying ages with confidence and care.

Lesson Planning: Design innovative and age-appropriate lesson plans that inspire and challenge.
Support Club Development: Contribute to our coaching syllabus and actively participate in coaching workshops.
Admin & Operations: Learn to support key admin tasks such as managing registers, handling payments, collecting feedback, processing enrolments, and more.

Responsible & Reflective: Takes ownership of coaching practice and seeks continual improvement.
Clear Communicator: Uses multiple methods (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) to connect with gymnasts.
Professional Presence: Maintains appropriate posture and positioning during sessions—always alert, never passive.
Creative & Forward-Thinking: Brings fresh ideas, shares insights, and contributes actively in team discussions.
Strong Leader: Capable of guiding others, managing tasks, and acting as a role model.
Motivated & Organised: Demonstrates strong time management, reliability, and a proactive attitude.
