Our Coaches

Our “Coaches in Training” or C.I.T.’s are Teens (13+ years).  Many of our C.I.T.’s are former Pulsars competitive athletes.  However, having had previous competitive experience isn’t a requirement to become a CIT.  We provide professional development training, along with close supervision by a fully certified coach.  This enables a CIT to develop the confidence required to become a Coach, when the time is right.  All CIT’s must have First Aid training.

Our Recreational Coaches are trained through the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP). All staff are First-Aid certified; have provided current Vulnerable Sector Screening; have completed Risk Management; and Respect in Sport certification. They receive on-going Professional development training, workshops and support to ensure the Recreational athletes are improving their personal physical strength, flexibility, co-ordination and balance.  Coaches build the athletes confidence and independence, as well as many other social and teamwork skills.  It is a huge responsibility and our coaches are continually updating their skills.

Our Competitive Coaches are minimum NCCP 2 certified in artistic, trampoline and tumbling. All staff are First-Aid certified; have provided current Vulnerable Sector Screening; have completed Risk Management; and Respect in Sport certification. They participate in on-going Professional development training, workshops and support.
