Hi, new uk coach

[MissBear]

Hi everyone, my name is Kate. I'm a coach in the uk, and also still train recreationally after years as a gymnast. I'm also at college and hope to go to uni in a years time. Currently, I (assistant) coach 5 rec classes (3 beginner, 1 intermediate, 1 advanced) and also assist with competitive pre - team, and regional and national grades (uk). I'm sometimes lucky enough to work with the coaches of the elite level groups also. I have my assistant coach award and am hoping to do my WAG level 2 course at the end of june.

Is there anyone else from the uk around? I think i've seen a couple of people.

Welcome to the Chalkbucket. We have a growing gang of Brits on the board I am sure they'll say hey when they see your post. I am originally from Manchester but now live in Quebec, I have two girls in the gym and a 16 year old son who is not in the gym ever!

Hope you like the bucket!

Hi MissBear!

I'm also from the UK.

I am a level 4 coach, but really only coach level 2 skills currently as I took on a new group of pre-team gymnasts last year. They all passed Grade 14 this year and am working them to do compulsory 4 next year, but am not convinced they will do it yet, but we'll see!

Welcome to the board!

Hi MissBear,
Welcome to Chalk Bucket! I'm an American but celebrated my 16th Birthday in London on a class trip back in 1976! I love London!
I'm an adult gymnast and just started part time coaching again giving private lessons to a talented youngster.
I trust you'll find the people on this board friendly and helpful. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone! I just sent my application form for a level 2 course (and the end of june) off yesterday - I've been waiting forever to do one and I'm so excited! If anyone has done there level 2 WAG and could tell me a bit about what to expect it would be great. I've heard a lot about how difficult it is and the big step up from level 1!

Hi! Welcome to the chalk bucket- I'm from the UK too I started some coaching at my club but I havent done any qualifications (I quit gym just after I started coaching), so at the moment I coach (mostly vault) at my school gym club. My sister competed gymnastics until about this time last year, she was a Level 3.

Hello there and welcome on here!
I am sure there are quite a lot of British people around here by now and you will make lots of contacts. I love the fact of this forum having so many people from all possible different countries.
