Coach Training with Carol-Angela Orchard

Visiting Coach Programme Update

Renmore Gymnastics coaches had the great fortune of working recently with the highly inspirational Canadian/GBR coach Carol-Angela Orchard when she visited the club last week on her first trip to Ireland. In addition to the 30+ hour camp that over 50 gymnasts attended for a full week, there were daily coaching clinics and seminars running to raise awareness and help develop the clubs coaching programme. What a totally inspiring and uplifting week we all had, thank you Carol-Angela we cannot wait until your next visit!

Coach Training Day June, 2012

The Renmore Gymnastics Recreational Coaching Team was hard at work over the Bank Holiday weekend gearing up for the new and exciting Recreational Program being implemented in September. Coaches attending worked on the new levels structure and learned about the new disciplines being added to the program. There was lots of fun had by all as coaches took turns being the gymnasts and working out new lesson plans. All are looking forward to sampling some of these new ideas in the recreational summer camps at RGC this summer. Come on in and give it a try!
