Clubs are looking for that special coach who will have a sense of fun when working with youngsters, and make kids feel special and welcome as they start their classes in Rhythmic Gymnastics. If you are a coach in another gym discipline you probably have lots of experience in class management, planning, circuits and physical literacy so please apply, and we will ensure that you are well trained by our certified learning facilitators in beginner apparatus technique. Please go to the "Coaching" section on the left to find job posts or courses.
