Congratulations Alysha!
Our Head Coach Alysha attended the FIG Level 1 WAG Course at the AIS in Canberra. A huge step in her high performance coaching journey and an exciting investment in the future of our WAG athletes. It was an intense week of learning and study, followed by the final assessment examination on Friday. We are incredibly proud to share that Alysha not only passed, but was also awarded a medal for the 3rd highest score in her group
Congratulations to our newest WAG Advanced Judge, Ainsley! Ainsley travelled to Brisbane to attend the 2-day course during Gymnastics Queensland Education Week. This is a huge achievement for Ainsley and a fantastic asset to our club. It’s been a great start to the year for our staff as they continue to further their education, strengthening the support and knowledge we bring to our athletes
