Trampoline | Additional Gymnasts Selected for Performance Pathway
A further five gymnasts will join the trampoline performance pathway and development programmes following a profiling day hosted a fortnight ago.
The additional gymnasts join those who were retained from the programme selected last year, due to the cancellation of performance activity during the pandemic lockdown period.
The programmes aim to support coaches and gymnasts in developing their skills which will allow them to progress on to the British Gymnastics Performance Pathway. We’ve seen success from these programmes, with trampoline gymnasts including Sarah Gallacher who recently won a silver medal at the British Age Group Open in Telford and Keir Davidson who has been selected to compete as part of the British team in Baku for the Trampoline World Age Championships between 25 and 28 November.
Jamie Bowie, Performance Manager said:
It is really exciting to continue to build on our trampoline programme with a new tier of support in the shape of the development programme which we introduced this year, as well as selecting new gymnasts onto the programme.
"We are fortunate to have both Gary Short, British Gymnastics National Performance Pathway Coach as well as Paul Coyle, Scottish Gymnastics Physical Preparation Lead delivering our trampoline programme to support gymnasts and coaches on their journey."
Well done to the gymnast and coaches selected on to the programme, and as the discipline continues to bounce back after covid, we look forward to seeing more programme activity next year and beyond.
We are also offering an opportunity to coaches so that they can attend the development programme camps as part of our coach buddy programme. Interested coaches will be able to attend as part of our CPD offering, to find out more, contact our performance team via email on performance@scottishgymnastics.org.
