Why Accreditation Matters: Bunnerong’s Coaching Standards Explained

Choosing a gymnastics club is a big decision. Families aren’t just looking for fun classes — they want to know their child is learning in a safe, structured, and professionally supported environment. One of the clearest indicators of quality in gymnastics is coach accreditation.

At Bunnerong Gymnastics, accreditation isn’t a box we tick — it’s the foundation of how we coach.

Our Affiliations: What They Mean for You

Bunnerong Gymnastics is proudly affiliated with Gymnastics NSW and Gymnastics Australia, the recognised governing bodies for the sport in Australia.

These affiliations mean:

• Our programs align with nationally recognised coaching frameworks

• We follow current safety, child protection, and risk management standards

• Our coaching practices are regularly reviewed and updated

• Our gymnasts train within an approved and progressive pathway, from beginner through to competitive levels

For families researching clubs, affiliation provides assurance that training is not improvised or inconsistent — it’s guided by best practice.

Accredited Coaches: More Than Experience Alone

All Bunnerong coaches hold Gymnastics Australia–accredited coaching qualifications, with accreditation levels matched to the gymnasts they coach. This ensures that:

• Skills are taught using age-appropriate and level-appropriate progressions

• Coaches understand physical readiness, technique, and injury prevention

• Training loads are managed carefully to support long-term development

• Gymnasts build confidence and competence at a safe pace

Accreditation also requires:

• Ongoing professional development

• Current first aid and child safeguarding compliance

• Regular revalidation to stay aligned with evolving standards

  
  

Why This Matters for Safety and Progression

Accredited coaching directly impacts outcomes — especially for children.

At Bunnerong, this means:

• Safer skill progression with reduced injury risk

• Strong technical foundations that support future development

• Clear pathways for recreational, competitive, and adult gymnasts

• Consistent coaching language and expectations across all programs

For adults, it ensures training that is structured, supportive, and tailored to individual goals — whether that’s fitness, skills, or confidence.
