Young Leader Programme and Academy

2019-Present Day

Working with Enthusiastic young people to provide volunteering opportunities within their club. This initiative was set up to create confident young coaches that could see themselves with a career in sport. This was taken from the British Gymnastics pathway of the Leaders Academy for 11-16 years for Gymnasts to be engaged with coaching.

This amazing pathway has seen over 120 volunteers through its doors providing jobs for over 40 young people with over 60 in volunteering roles across our three sites.  South Essex have an incredible team of coaches that are passionate about sharing their knowledge and ideas to the next generation of coaches.

We have shown this by running regular training sessions for our volunteers on different pathways to show the variation to the sport and help educate all areas to build a well-rounded coach.

Schools Partnership Programme

2022-Present Day

In 2022 the schools partnership programme was created, SEGC visited local teacher conferences to pitch the idea to schools in the Basildon area. As a result in 2023 we visited 3 schools. Billericay Primary School, Felmore Primary School and Runwell Primary I have visited these schools with Gemma, Dave, Max, Katie, Kayleigh and Jade. These coaches have been a huge support behind the schools programme and running of the 6 weeks.

This resulted in some lovely feedback for coaches and children being talent spotted for MAG and WAG groups.  We made a further  link with our 4th school (Downham primary School) in 2024, Gemma and Max completed a 6 week programme working with year 1 children and enthused children to become involved in the world of Gymnastics.

Following the positive comments from the schools we visited , we have had further interest from outside the are in doing school visits and hosting schools events both at SEGC and visiting.

Cara lead a CPD pathway with Eversley, taking coaches through the basics to supporting young children and key skills needed to aid young gymnasts.  South Essex are excited to partner with locals schools to spread the love of gymnastics to as many young people as possible.

This partnership would not have been possible without the support of Active Essex. We were able to provide 5 primary schools with free classes for a 6 week rotation.  Active Essex allocated £1500 to support South Essex with this project. This went towards the cost of the classes, equipment which was used within the schools and travel expenses for coaches.
