Polly Crathorne receives regional gymnastics award
A teenage coach from Canterbury
Gymnastics Club has been praised as a fine role model and given a
regional award recognising her achievements.
Polly Crathorne was just 14 for her
first coaching course but, now aged 15, is a Level 1 coach.
She has been presented with a 2009
Award of Merit for Coaching (Youth, under 21) at the South East
Region Gymnastics Annual Awards held in Dorking.
Andy Piekarski, presenting the award,
said: "Despite being only 14 when she attended her first course,
Polly demonstrated maturity beyond her years, high intelligence,
work ethic and commitment to learning.
"Her enthusiasm is infectious and she
always has a smile on her face. Her coaching log book has been used
as an example of good practice.
"She has been very helpful as a
volunteer at events and competitions and is an excellent role
model."
