Here’s a sweet deal for a coach who wants to upgrade their skills and experience.
The Professional Coaching Diploma (PCD) program is held at International Gymnastics Camp (IGC) in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania and offers an intensive instructional coaching curriculum for gymnastics professionals.
As one of the premier training facilities in the world, IGC has offered gymnasts and coaches the best training facilities and educational opportunities for over 39 years. This collective knowledge is the foundation of the PCD program designed to teach a full range of technical skill development, coaching methods, and spotting techniques in a safe and applied manner.
The time and effort commitment at the entry-level is 260 teaching and classroom hours spanning a four-week period.
Daily lecture demonstrations, written and practical tests, as well as observational and critical coaching reviews build throughout the second, third and fourth years.
This challenging program is designed for the career-minded individual intent on becoming a top-tier gymnastics coach.
You will graduate from the PCD program with a gymnastics portfolio documenting your personal progress and comprehensive understanding of beginner through elite gymnastics.
Whether you have just started your coaching career or have been coaching for years, it is our mission to help you build on your knowledge and continue your professional growth.
Check the GREAT INTRO VIDEO on the IGC Coaches Program page.
The sweet deal is that there is NO COST for that 260hrs of training, … aside from your slave labour at camp.
I highly recommend this opportunity.
