Kent Gymnastics Association needs volunteers to join its General Gymnastics Technical Committee (GGTC) to help organise county Floor & Vault competitions. Don’t be put off by the term ‘technical’ – you don’t need to have a gymnastics background or be a coach, you just need to have a little bit of time and be good at helping and organising. Coaches are very busy people, so you could be a parent or carer, or club committee member, or an older gymnast who wants to gain some useful skills. Whatever your background, we need you!
Ideally there needs to be a core team of volunteers from different clubs and disciplines across Kent, with specific tasks, who would meet approximately three to four times a year. The typical roles are below and there is something to suit people’s different time commitments.
You will be working alongside a friendly team of volunteers and full training and guidance will be given.
