Gymnasts can develop their skills at a level and pace appropriate to them.

Join the Heights Team

We’re always happy to hear from people who would like to become part of Heights.

If you’re already a qualified coach or judge, interested in working towards a qualification, or would simply like to help support the club, we’d be pleased to talk to you about getting involved.

We can support people who want to develop towards coaching or judging qualifications, and we also welcome volunteers who want to get involved as helpers.

Whether you already have experience or are just starting out, there may be a place for you in the Heights team.
