We’re proud to share the latest exciting development in our youth pathways at PCYC Queensland!
After a successful pilot, we’re officially rolling out our new Coaches of Tomorrow program for young gymnasts aged 12 to14.
This age group is where we often see a drop-off in participation, and we wanted to find a way to keep our young people connected with the sport, and with PCYC more broadly.
We came up with a coaching program that introduces young people to the world of coaching, from foundational skills and planning sessions, to understanding responsibility, leadership, and even getting started with things like Blue Card applications.
The feedback from our pilot group was amazing and we’re now rolling it out across all clubs that offer Gymnastics.
With this program we are building confidence, creating pathways to paid work, and helping young people see a future in the sport they’ve grown up loving.
This initiative is a brilliant example of how we can support young people to stay active and involved, both in sport and beyond. And while they stay connected to PCYC, as gymnasts and then as coaches, these terrific young people will also have access to our other youth programs which offer even more leadership and development opportunities.
We can’t wait to see more young leaders come through this program and grow with us!
