Sports Centre Manager
Hi, I'm Michael and I am the centre manager at Coombe Dean Sports Centre, I oversee the running of Coombe Dean Aspire Gymnastics Club. I have been working within the leisure and fitness industry for 8 years, with in this time I have gained my level 3 in personal training and there is nothing I like more than seeing people enjoying sport and fitness.
Head Coach
Hello I'm Abi and I am proud to be the head coach at Coombe Dean Aspire Gymnastics. I have been coaching gymnastics for 20 years and hold a British Gymnastics level 2 in General Gymnastics with a level 3 in somersaults and aerials. I am also a fully qualified level 3 (CCLD) Nursery Practitioner. I have worked with children since I was 14 coaching gymnastics, working as a nursery nurse and running kids clubs both in the U.K and abroad. I have always loved gymnastics and dance and was still taking tap and ballet up until the first lock down. I love insuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate and seeing how much sport can help a child grow.
Assistant Coach
Hi I'm Tammy and I have been coaching gymnastics for 3 years and am currently working towards gaining my coaching qualifications. I have a degree in performing arts (dance) and a level 3 qualification in child care (EYEL). Before joining Coombe Dean Aspire Gymnastics I was a voluntary coach with another club, I also work as a freelance dance teacher. I really enjoy aerial circus skills and am lucky enough to perform and compete in these. my favourite thing about coaching is watching the children achieve the things they have been working on, helping them to gain new skills
