SUBJECT:
MAG State Development Clinic - 9 May 2015
DATE:
Thursday, 16 April 2015
Dear MAG Clubs,
On behalf of the Gymnastics South Australia High Performance Program I have
much pleasure in extending an invitation to coaches & gymnasts from your club to
participate in the next Gymnastics SA MAG State Development Clinic. This clinic
is scheduled for 12.30-3.30pm, Saturday 9 May 2015.
The MAG SMC and High Performance Program (Gym-JETS) have identified a need
to offer more development opportunities for MAG coaches and gymnasts across the
state.
The objectives of the clinic are to:
1) Provide technical development opportunities for MAG coaches (coaches
will receive updating points for attending the clinic)
2) Develop a cohesive community of MAG coaches and gymnasts
3) Identify and develop athletes towards State Team Representation in the
future
Please find attached the 2015 MAG State Development Clinic Enrolment Form to
be completed by the club and returned to Gym SA with payment by Friday 1 May.
A Coach must accompany any gymnasts attending the clinic. It is the club’s
responsibility to ensure that a coach is committed to attend the clinic. Coaches
without gymnasts are also welcome to attend; however, in this case coaches will be
required to pay a fee for attendance.
Expert coaches providing instruction at this clinic will be Yu Bo, MAG JETS Senior
Coach and Andrew Cordery (to be confirmed following enrolments).
If you would like to discuss the program, please don’t hesitate to contact me on 8294
8343 or at highperformance@gymsa.com.au. I hope that participation in the 2015
MAG State Development Clinics will be a rewarding experience for all coaches and
gymnasts.
Sincerely,
Andrew Cordery
High Performance Manager
