PHOENIX TRAMPOLINE CLUB (TELFORD)

Trampolining for all

Coaches

All Phoenix Trampoline Club coaches have a fully enhanced CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check gained through the governing body for trampolining, British Gymnastics, ensuring that all possible care is taken of the trampolinists in our care.

Nigel Whitmore - Senior Club Coach - Level 4

Nigel has many years of experience as a trampoline coach and set up the Phoenix club all those years ago. Having retired as a coach Nigel realised that it's in his blood and he just can't leave it alone. Nigel takes the Sunday squad session with Becky and Chris and the Thursday evening session at Madeley Academy with Peter and Amanda.













Becky Machin - Senior Club Coach (Level 4)

Becky is Phoenix Trampoline Club's Senior Club Coach and she started trampolining as part of her gymnastics training when she was about 8 years old. She then joined Phoenix Trampoline club which was only a recreational club back then.

Nigel took over the club and she started to enter the West Midlands Qualifier competitions and also the Schools County competitions. She was the County champion for 6 years running in various age groups and she came in the top 3 in many qualifier competitions.

She started to learn how to coach at the age of 16 and often helped out at Nigel's sessions. When she was 18 she qualified as a coach and started her own session. Shortly after Nigel put Chris and Becky in charge of the squad sessions on a Sunday. Over the next few years Becky went on to complete higher coaching qualifications and has recently passed her Senior Club Coach (level 4) qualification.

Becky loves being able to pass on her own knowledge and experience and to have the opportunity to see children progress and reach their full potential. She likes the fact that unlike some clubs we cater for all abilities including recreational bouncers and not just those who want to compete.

Chris Trinick - Club Coach (Level 3)

Chris started as a trampoline coach 9 years ago when he was helping out a friend at Stirchley Recreation Centre. Nigel saw his potential and got him to join the Phoenix Club. Chris was a gymnast himself and is the joker amongst the coaches. Chris makes trampolining fun for the kids and runs the Sunday morning sessions with Becky and Nigel and also now runs the Oakengates session on a Saturday afternoon.











Sian Wood - Club Coach (Level 3)

Sian used to run the sessions at Oakengates Lesisure Centre on a Saturday afternoon and the Thursday evening session at Madeley Academy. Sian used to be a gymnast from the age of 9. Sian also helped out on a Sunday occasionally.
