Proficiency Award Scheme
The full Proficency award scheme is listed below. This scheme provides the basic workstream all our coaches adhere to.
If a gymnast passes an award, they may purchase a badge and certifcate from their coach to record their achievement.
To pass an award, the gymnast must perform the skills as laid down in the award to the satisfaction of their coach and potentially to other coaches who may be requested to assist in the assessment.
