Success starts with planning and the GYMCERT Coaches Certification program provides you with online video streams of basic gymnastics skills beginning at Level 1 skills, online manuals for easy reference, and practice exams that allow you to sample the testing format before taking your final exam.
GYMCERT provides web-based training courses for the greater Gymnastics sporting community at the beginning levels. At this time our courses include Women's recreational Levels 1 through 5, Boy's recreational Level 1, Safety Basics for Gymnastics and Safety Basics for Cheerleading. GymCert does not offer optional level training. While the techniques presented may work adequately for a fictitious gymnast, the may not work as well for the slightly overweight and less physically fit person. You, as the instructor, will have to adapt the technique to fit each gymnast. It is strongly suggested that you seek advanced gymnastics training from an experienced coach or mentor who can mentor and guide you in developing gymnastics technique, spotting skills, and training methods in a Safe Manner!
GYMCERT offers discounts for USA Gymnastic Member Clubs in good standing and is recognized as an authorized education provider for USA Gymnastics University.
