I first came to the Phoenix in 1991 with my daughter to attend gymnastics. I then became involved with the club and worked my way through my coaching levels. In 2007 I was then employed by the Phoenix full time to expand and develop the gymnastics club. Now 2017 I have now accepted the position as Center Director to once again develop and expand the new center.

David Beresford was a long serving and much loved member of the Phoenix coaching staff. Dave started in 1978 and attained his Level 3 Women's Artistic qualification. Most of Dave's career has been in the development of our Woman's Artistic Squads, producing County & Regional Champions. He is a dear friend and will always be part of our team.

Dani Childs had a background in the performing arts and joined our team 6 years ago as an assistant coach. Over the past 6 years, she has developed her skills to qualify as a Level 2 Gymnastics Coach and Pre-School. Dani is now currently working towards her club coach Level 3 Award which is all recognised by British Gymnastics.
