Aerobic Gymnastics International Coach and Judge Education

For over ten years I've been heavily involved in aerobics in New Zealand and now appeal to the community to help me further my education so I in turn can continue serving the greater aerobics community.

I am attending the FIG Academy 2 Coaching Course for Aerobic Gymnastics in Canberra, Australia in December of 2016, and I shall be there with the intention of learning and bringing back knowledge to the New Zealand aerobics community. On completing the course, I will be working alongside Amy Williams of Aspire Aerobix to update the current Gymsports New Zealand aerobics coaching programs to make them more applicable and relevant for our developing coaches and athletes.

In January of 2017 I will again be returning to Canberra but this time to attain my BREVET judging qualification. We currently have a shortage of BREVET standard judges in New Zealand and having this qualification will greatly alleviate the pressure from existing judges.

Costs:

FIG Academy 2 Course: $1200

Return travel FIG Academy 2: $980

BREVET Course: $1219

Return travel BREVET course: Funding secured by Gymsports New Zealand

I truly appreciate every little bit of help you may be able to offer. Those in the aerobics community will know that I'm not doing these courses for my own benefit, I'm doing them knowing that it will be for the greatest benefit of our New Zealand athletes. The higher qualifications we can secure for our officials, the higher the standard we may be able to train all our athletes and thereby grow aerobics gymnastics.
