The 3-step pathway™ is the leading training programme for recreational gymnastics and trampolining coaches. This system moves away from the old Level 1 assistant and Level 2 lead coach structure.
Key Features:
• Each course is the equivalent a Level 2 qualification in its own right.
• Upon completion, coaches aged 18+ are validated to lead and teach sessions up to the level of the completed course.
• Coaches under 18 can attend courses and assist in sessions until they turn 18, after which they are automatically validated to lead and teach unsupervised.
These courses are developed by The Rebound Therapy Organisation and are based on the internationally recognised Winstrada Gymnastics and Trampoline Development Programme.
