I am currently an active voluntary fully qualified British Gymnastics Club Coach and have worked at the Falkirk School of Gymnastics for almost 10 years. I teach kids aged 4-12 and it is great to be involved at the grass roots level of my much loved sport! Over the coming weeks and months, I hope to bring Gymnastics to life and get everyone absorbed in this amazing sport and the Gymnasts competing.
