How do I become a Fundamental Gymnastics Coach, and what does it cost to start?

Question

Accepted Answer

From the Coach Accreditation Policy V1.14 (March 2024), the Fundamental Gymnastics Coach Accreditation is the entry-level accreditation and covers all gymsports: You must be 15 or older to hold it, and you can start working towards it at 14. You complete all parts of the accreditation, with the on-the-job training done under the direct mentorship of an accredited Club Coach Educator. On completion you move from Technical Associate Member to Technical Member and receive Technical Member benefits. Your first 12 months of Technical Membership are free, starting on the completion date, which becomes your annual renewal date. This does not apply if you were previously a Technical Member (Coach or Judge): you pay full fees on renewal. You can then coach independently up to and including Foundation Level 2 skills (once a Club Coach Educator has deemed you competent in the gymsport-specific skills), and Foundation Level 1 and 2 at State/Territory events subject to State/Territory approval. You cannot coach at Gymnastics Australia events.
