British Gymnastics is delighted to announce the introduction of the Coach Development Fund (CDF), which we hope will encourage aspiring coaches by offering a 50% fee reduction on selected UKCC Level 1 and 2 course places. This exciting initiative will give more people the opportunity to get into coaching and play an active part in the future of British Gymnastics.
If you think you could benefit from this scheme, you will find everything you need right here. We'll take you through the application process step by step:
- Learn more - Take a look at our handy Coach Development Fund guide to learn more about what it is, who it's for and how to apply.
- Find a place - CDF places will only be advertised on this page. The CDF initiative will cover all disciplines, although there may not always be places available in your discipline or region. The list below will be updated regularly, so please keep checking if there isn't anything suitable at this time.
