The Foundations Pathway consists of three main courses:

Foundations Introduction: Focuses on the basic teaching techniques and understanding of coaching gymnastics.

Foundations Sport-Specific: Covers the core areas of gymnastics, such as:

These courses help coaches understand the fundamentals of gymnastics and how to apply them in a training setting.
