ANNOUNCEMENT
OF FURTHER HIGH PERFORMANCE CENTRES
On 7th
December 2002, the Policy
Board of British Gymnastics approved two additional High Performance Centres, as part of the Sport England funded World
Class Potential & Start Programmes.
The Centres
are for the discipline of Trampolining:
1.
Poole, Dorset – (Olga, Kemp Welch)
2.
Bracknell
It was also approved that the following World Class Gymnastics Performance
Centres be nominated:
1.
Gillingham – (Gillingham Jumpers TC)
2.
Salford – City of Salford GC)
Each of the High Performance Centres will be led by
a National Coach.
Following the recent World Class Potential and
Start testing, the first official squad of trampolinists has been nominated
to Sport England. They will shortly be receiving the first installment of
their Athlete Personal Awards, which are designed to contribute towards the
cost of their participation in the programme.
In addition to the designation of the High
Performance Centres and appointment of two National Coaches, the grant of
£200.000 from Sport England will enable significant enhancements to the
competition and training programme of the most talented performers.
This investment is expected to enable British
Gymnastics to re-inforce and build upon the recent high-level results
achieved at World and European events, by our trampolinists.
In line with the other disciplines, in recognition
of the contribution being made by many clubs to the success of the sport,
further British Gymnastics High Performance Centres have been nominated. This
initial list has been prepared in consultation with the NTTC, but further
clubs may be added on application:
Apollo
Trampoline Club
City of Salford GC
