4 Re-Structuring in BG Performance 1 st October With effect from the 1 st October the following changes will be made within the BG Performance Department:- Alan Edge will manage solely the Trampoline Disciplines. Amy Walmsley has been appointed Performance Manager and will head up a new grouping of RHG, Acro, Aerobics and Team Gym. Rachel Bayley (the former BG Performance Pathway Manager) has been appointed to a new position of Performance Manager for MAG and WAG. My role becomes Senior Performance Manager with Line Management responsibility for Amy, Rachel and the new Performance Pathway Manager.

5 Re-Structuring in BG Performance 1 st October 2 new Programme Officers for TRA and RHG /Acro Aerobics/Team Gym; These are currently being recruited along with a new role of Operations Manager to replace Sandra Roberts s old position. There will also be a new position of Admin Assistant for the Performance Dept. In all there will be 8 changes across Performance which whilst challenging I think will undoubtedly strengthen the Department moving forwards.

46 Aspiring to create a performance environment for Rhythmic Gymnastics to flourish in the UK RG NTC BG, 2013

47 We need change to progress Review of coaching syllabus Some key points: There was little extension between L1 & 2 technical content; not enough detail There was repetition between the Level 3 modules Content at Level 3, was too basic to prepare to go through the gateway to high performance Some areas of Rhythmic Gymnastics were completely missing from the technical content For example understanding the structure of music ; lifts for Group work Some areas entered the coach education syllabus too late, for example group work, duets and trios. There was a lack of continuity between coach education, the performance pathway (Nat. squad) for gymnasts and NDP

48 Task Coaching Syllabus Feedback on the question : A) From the HPC in your regions, what did they say was missing from their education? B) From the clubs in your regions, what do they perceive is missing in their new coaches? The gaps?
