Who we are

Bunnerong Coaching Standards

Why They Matter — and Why Families Choose Us

At Bunnerong Gymnastics Club, coaching standards aren’t just a requirement — they are the foundation of everything we do. They shape how we teach, how we care for our gymnasts, and how we create an environment where children and adults feel safe, supported, and happy to learn.

When you choose Bunnerong, you’re choosing a club that values respect, family, and happiness, backed by accredited coaching, clear progression pathways, and nationally recognised standards.

​

Our Accreditations & Affiliations

Bunnerong is proudly affiliated with Gymnastics NSW and Gymnastics Australia, meaning our programs meet national coaching, safety, and child-safe standards.

All Bunnerong coaches:

• Hold current Gymnastics Australia accreditation

• Maintain Working With Children Checks

• Complete ongoing professional development

• Are trained in safe spotting, progressions, and risk management

This ensures every gymnast — from beginners to competitive athletes — is coached safely, consistently, and appropriately for their age and stage.

​

What Coaching Accreditation Really Means

Accredited coaching isn’t just a certificate — it’s a commitment to best practice.

At Bunnerong, this means:

• Skills are taught through structured progressions, not rushed outcomes

• Strength, flexibility, and technique are developed before harder skills

• Coaches understand physical, emotional, and developmental readiness

• Safety is prioritised over shortcuts or pressure to perform

This approach reduces injury risk, builds confidence, and supports long-term enjoyment of the sport.

​

Respect: Every Gymnast Matters

Respect is at the heart of our coaching philosophy.

Our coaches are trained to:

• Treat every gymnast with kindness, patience, and fairness

• Recognise that each gymnast learns at their own pace

• Encourage effort, resilience, and personal growth — not comparison

• Create a positive, inclusive environment where everyone feels valued

We believe respectful coaching builds confident gymnasts — not just strong ones.

​

Family: A Club You Can Trust

Bunnerong is a family-focused club. Many of our gymnasts train with us for years, and that trust is something we take seriously.

Our standards ensure:

• Clear communication with families

• Transparent skill pathways and expectations

• Coaches who act as positive role models

• A safe, welcoming space for children and adults alike

Families choose Bunnerong because they know their gymnasts are cared for — physically and emotionally.

​

Happiness: Loving Gymnastics for Life

Happy gymnasts learn better, stay longer, and gain more from their experience.

By maintaining high coaching standards, we create:

• Fun, engaging, and motivating classes

• Confidence through achievable goals

• A love of movement, learning, and sport

• Positive memories that extend beyond the gym

Whether a gymnast trains once a week or follows a competitive pathway, our goal is the same: for them to leave the gym feeling proud, supported, and happy.

​
