Coach gymnast ratios

As a non-profit organisation, we try to keep a low gymnast to coach ratio at all levels, particularly as the gymnast moves up to higher levels. For beginners and Level 1 gymnasts, we put a limit on the size of the class to a maximum of 15 gymnasts per coach. For Levels 2 & 3, this goes down to 10 gymnasts per coach and at Level 4-6 it goes down again to 8 gymnasts per coach. 
​
For Levels 7 and above, we try to make sure that sessions with more than 6 gymnasts will have an assistant coach present. Morning trainings are available for those gymnasts in Level 9 and above who train at least 20 hours per week. These morning sessions will be kept to no more than 4 gymnasts.​
