A North East gymnastics coach has been shortlisted for a prestigious gong at the British Gymnastics Awards.

Andi Revell from Sunderland has been shortlisted in the Learning and Development Individual Practitioner Award, which recognises the achievements of an individual learning and development practitioner and their contribution to supporting the development of others across the gymnastics community.

Nominations are welcomed from tutors, assessors, coach developers or mentors.

The British Gymnastics Awards recognise exceptional people and organisations that help keep gymnastics enjoyable, safe and open to everyone, making a positive contribution to individuals, local communities and wider society.

They also recognise British Gymnastics affiliated clubs that have not only excelled in promoting and developing gymnastics but have also made an outstanding contribution to their community, demonstrating a commitment to the long-term impact of the sport and delivering an uplifting experience for all.

Andrew said: “I’m incredibly proud and grateful to be shortlisted for this award - I genuinely love what I do and the opportunities it presents to help others progress in our sport.

“It’s such a great feeling to see coaches that I’ve worked with achieving amazing things at all levels, so to then have my small part in their journey recognised in this way, alongside so many inspiring people within our sport, truly means a great deal to me.”

From trailblazers and role models to those who tirelessly go above and beyond, the British Gymnastic Awards shine a spotlight on exceptional people and organisations that help keep gymnastics enjoyable, safe and open to everyone.
