I have been doing gymnastics my whole life.

I trained at Garstang and then Bury Gymnastics Club, where I won many Regional and National medals.

Top achievements:

* 5th all-around at the British Championships

* 3rd in England on vault

I was the Head Coach at Canadian International School in Hong Kong. I took numerous teams to the international schools competition SEASAC, with many medallists.

Since coaching at Flic Flac, I have guided many children to success. I have coached numerous National IGA medallists, IGA Regional and National Champions, World IAIGC medallists and Champions, and an IGA National Squad member.

I am a Level 3 women's coach and have vast experience in men's artistic gymnastics too.

I started coaching at Flic Flac in 2017 and I am currently a level 2 qualified coach.

I have coached gymnasts to success in local, national, and world championships.

I was a gymnast for 7 years, in those seven years I competed 3 times at the world championships in 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Outside of the gym, I have just graduated from university with a degree in pharmaceutical sciences.

I started coaching at Flic Flac in 2016. I’m now 21 and have loved the past 9 years as part of the coaching team. I am currently a level 2 qualified coach. I have had many gymnasts achieve amazingly in national and world championships competitions.

I was a gymnast at Flic Flac for 10 years, from the ages 6-16. I had the opportunity to compete in the world championships in America twice in 2016 and 2018.

I also got to travel all around the UK for competitions, including the island of Jersey three times. My favourite events to perform are definitely beam and floor.

Outside of the gym I’m a student at The University of Manchester studying Educational Psychology.

I also work in primary schools supporting SEN children as a 1-2-1 teaching assistant. I have been doing this for 3 years.

I am Sophie, I have been doing gymnastics for 8 years, and have been coaching for about 6 months.

I am a qualified level 1 gymnastics coach, who believes we should have exciting and encouraging lessons for all gymnasts to enjoy.

I compete in competitions, and recently competed at a Disneyland competition with my teammates, I also made it to the national finals competition which was a large achievement of mine!

I am excited to help others enjoy gymnastics as much as I do, and train them so they can be the best they can be!

I’ve been a gymnast at Flic Flac’s since I was 3, which means I did gymnastics for 14 years after finishing in 2024! I have been coaching at the gym for almost 3 years now. I am a qualified level 1 coach, hoping to get a level 2 qualification soon.

My coaching philosophy would be to create an environment that makes gymnastics fun for everyone whilst they learn the skills they aspire to achieve.

I love coaching because it allows me to watch the gymnasts grow into a loveable sport and learn new things.

I have been doing gymnastics at Flic Flac since 2013, and have been coaching for about 2 years.

I have completed a level 1 women’s artistic gymnastics qualification course as well as a level 3 first aid in sport course.

Throughout my time as a gymnast I have taken part in many different competitions, including Jersey twice, winning all round national champion for level 8 in 2022, and most recently competing at Disneyland Paris.

As a coach it is my aim to help the gymnasts develop new skills and celebrate their achievements, so that the may reach their highest potential and thoroughly enjoy their time at gymnastics.

My name is Angela B I have owned my own day nursery business since 2007, before this I taught various childcare qualifications.

I have a degree in Early years and  teaching and assessing qualifications for ages 16 plus.

I am the designated safeguarding officer for FLIC FLAC gymnastics.

My daughter has been part of the club since 2021 she has been very fortunate that the club has supported her competing in Disneyland Paris twice, the world championships in Florida and this year she will compete again in Vegas for the world championships.

FLIC FLAC is a wonderful club and a great asset to the community I am looking forward to supporting the club on its journey.

I have been a gymnastics dad for over 12 years with FlicFlac now and have seen many accomplishments from the club including my eldest daughter becoming the level 8 age group national champion back in 2022. I have had a big passion for gymnastics since childhood and I'm very keen to see clubs like FlicFlac thrive, giving children of all backgrounds the opportunities that haven't always been around. Over the past 12+ years I have helped the club wherever possible including using my practical skills to assist the club in providing an excellent training facility. 

As both my daughters are now growing up it has been great to see them both take on the role of coaching giving back to the club that has been part of their lives for so many years. 

I am fully DBS cleared and have been for over 13 years working with kids including being a qualified leader in running fitness for a free local running club.

I’m a Chartered Management Accountant with 13 years’ experience in finance. I’ve worked in a variety of roles and developed skills in cost management, financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting, and providing strategic financial insights to support decision-making.

I enjoyed gymnastics as a child, and now I get to share that experience with my two daughters, who love being part of Flic Flac Gymnastics Club. It’s a fantastic place for children to make friends, stay active, and learn new skills. I’m really happy to support the club behind the scenes and help it continue to grow and inspire young gymnasts.
