Meet the team

Trampoline gymnast since the age of 11 in the UK, I visited Australia in 2014 and have been coaching at High Flyers ever since. I hold a high-performance and FIG3 accreditation in Trampoline Gymnastics.

As a coach, my goal is to support and guide each athlete I work with, helping them achieve their personal objectives both on and off the trampoline.

Mel Is head of the clubs WAG Program, and is a coach of over 25 years of experience! She began her coaching career at the young age of 13 and has been doing ever since.

With accreditation as a FIG 2 Advance Silver Coach Mel has a strong and dedicated focus on the growth and development of all her athletes, ensuring that they are progressing and becoming the best Gymnast they can be.

The High Flyers team has been lucky to have Mel involved with us now for over 20 years!
