Kyla Dolman has been a member at Koorana for the past 10 years, initially as a gymnast and now as the WAG co-ordinator and coach. She was fortunate enough to have been coached by Barry, Alan and Pat who were all extremely influential in her development as both an athlete and a coach. Kyla started coaching in 2016 with a group of Level 5s and now leads a team of dedicated coaches who oversee our WAG program – including the steps program and the competitive pathway with over 80 girls training from level 3 to future International. In 2022, Kyla and her team were instrumental in the club’s WAG achievements at State, National Levels Championships and National Clubs Championships where our club placed 4th Overall. Kyla holds an Advanced Silver (FIG 2) coaching qualification and is constantly striving to improve her program with new knowledge attained from attending state and national training camps.

Kym Saunders is no stranger to Koorana. She is a former gymnast at the club and has been coaching at Koorana for over 20 years. Kym has been involved in our Kindergym program since the beginning and was also previously the supervisor of our Steps program. She has a Bachelor of Education and is an Advanced Silver WAG and Intermediate KinderGym coach

As part of the relaunched KinderGym program, Kym and the club are excited to be able to offer a greater number of classes and will be working within Gymnastics Australia’s KinderGym framework to deliver an engaging and fun program for our 0 to 5 year olds. If you know a ‘little someone’ who would like to develop fundamental movement patterns and learn basic gymnastic skills, get in touch with Kym today!

Francine previously studied Early Childhood Education and has intermediate qualifications in both GFA and WAG and advanced Module 1 (tumbling and spring). She manages our GfA program across both venues and as well as training new coaches within the Gfa program.
