New Level 2 Coach
Congratulations to James Langley on passing his Level 2 TeamGym Coaching exam today at Bexhill-on-sea.
Getting to Level 2 involves progressing through the preliminary grades, attending courses, working with mentors, completing a logbook, online study and tests, two theory papers and a practical exam. All in all it costs about £2,250 to produce a Level 2 coach.
Special thanks also to the gymnasts who gave up their Sunday to help out and behaved like angels.
James' first assignment as 'Coach in Charge' will be next Saturday, while the Coaching Managers are away.

Those gymnasts are Connor Wharram, James Langley and Joseph Torpey. Congratulations to the Gymnasts and Coaches on being selected for this prestigious opportunity.
