WHAT THIS ISN’T:
❌ This isn’t a job for someone just looking to earn a few hours’ pay.
❌ This isn’t your average teaching role.
❌ And this definitely isn’t about being “the best gymnast / acrobat in the room.”
WHAT THIS IS:
✅ This is for someone who loves seeing kids light up.
✅ Who gets joy from helping others grow.
✅ Who’s ever said, “I just want to do something that matters.”
✅ We’ll teach you how to coach (if you have no experience / qualifications)
What we can’t teach — and what we’re really looking for — is who you are:
- Patient
- Supportive
- Emotionally intelligent
- Calm under pressure
- Someone who instinctively cheers when a child says, “I did it!”
WHO THIS IS PERFECT FOR:
- Primary or secondary school teachers
- Personal trainers or sports instructors
- Parents who want a side role with purpose
- Healthcare or childcare professionals
- Current Gymnastics / Acro Coaches
- Anyone with energy, empathy, and a growth mindset
No acrobatics experience? No problem.
We’ll train you through our nationally recognised Acrotrix Teacher Training platform.
You’ll learn how to coach safely, confidently, and with impact.

“It’s the best part of my week.”
“You get to help a child believe in themselves — and that feeling never gets old.”
“I started as a parent watching from the side. Now I’m the one helping make the magic happen.”
✅ YOU DON’T NEED:
- A background in dance, gymnastics or acro (amazing if you do though!)

- To be super flexible (we’ll teach that too)
