WWPIS are delighted to announce a partnership with South Essex Gymnastics club, one of the leading gymnastics clubs in the United Kingdom.
With a lot of work already taken place behind the scenes including the generation of a website platform and the creation of specific resources for gymnastics parents and coaches the partnership will now see live and virtual webinars delivered within the club on an annual basis for club management, coaches and parents.
The club which has such a rich history of high-quality coaching and a production line of top gymnasts including Max Whitlock have been so proactive in recognising the vital role that parents play in the sporting journey and the importance of them feeling supported, informed and empowered to have a voice in the process.
With gymnasts committing a huge amount of time from a young age into specific programmes and spending a lot of time in the gym with coaches this support is absolutely vital if we want to see everyone thrive and gain the most from the sporting journey both inside and outside of the gym.
Also available for purchase for children and parents is the ‘Our Sporting Journey’ series for Under 5, Under 7 and Under 9 gymnasts which incorporate two gymnastic years in each book.
The ‘Our Sporting Journey’ is a series of interactive books for children, putting them at the heart of the sporting experience, allowing them to have plenty of fun, grow as people both on and off the field and immerse themselves in their sporting experience as they progress through their sporting journey.
The books all have plenty of activities for children, encourage positive interaction between children and their parents, require plenty of parental involvement whether that be in having positive conversations, playing in the garden or helping to stick in the pictures that will allow everyone to build up a memory book that will last a lifetime.
CEO Gordon MacLelland said, ‘Gymnastics has gone through a really tough period and needs to rebuild trust in a lot of communities and countries. We are so excited to be supporting South Essex Gymnastics Club with this programme. I am particularly grateful to Scott Hann MBE who has been such a large driving force behind this project and not only are we excited about working at South Essex but have been blown away from the interest we have had from gymnastic communities all over the world. We will be announcing further partnerships in the coming weeks.’
