Workshops

At Welsh Gymnastics our aim is to provide opportunities for coaches to develop not only their gymnastic discipline knowledge but also to broaden their experience and understanding on a much wider range of topics.

The Workshops section is where we will offer any additional workshops, courses and seminars that may be of interest across disciplines or discipline specific that sit outside the main frame of British or Welsh Gymnastics Courses. The courses provide everyone involved in gymnastics with other opportunities; CPD - Continuous Professional Development. The information and learning on the courses present a greater understanding or further knowledge in topics such as - How to coach disabled people in sport, Positive behaviour management or First aid provision etc.
