Performance Curriculum 2020 Calendar
Please note that the 2019 performance curriculum has now concluded. Future workshops will be communicated to those part of the National Performance Programme (NPP) or Performance Pathway Programme (PPP).
As part of Scottish Gymnastics’ commitment to develop Scottish gymnasts to British and World high performance levels, we recognise the vital role that personal coaches and parents play in a gymnast’s development. With this in mind, we are committed to supporting gymnasts, coaches and parents on their gymnastics journey and the performance curriculum is about developing knowledge and awareness on areas of performance that can play a significant role in helping a gymnast maximise their potential.
The workshops are part of a rolling curriculum and are free to attend for personal coaches, parents and gymnasts who are part of the National Performance Programme (NPP) or Performance Pathway Programme (PPP). Sessions will be delivered mainly on a regional basis, with some sessions delivered alongside a NPP or PPP camp.
