Gymnastics Coach-In-Training Program (C.I.T)
---
Establish Long-Term Training Program
All volunteers must volunteer a minimum of 2-4 hours a week as well as attend all training sessions, coach’s meetings and meeting for C.I.T’s.  Over a period of time (from age 13 – 18), there is plenty of time for training these teens in the exact way you want your program to be run. 
---
The Only Long-Term Labor Solution
While this is no quick fix for labor shortages, it is a long-term source and pool of labor from which you can pick and choose the best of the volunteers to eventually hire as regular coaches in your program.  Some may go away to college or move away, but some will stay in the area and some will return to the area. 
---
Your Volunteers Benefit
There are benefits to the volunteers as well.   This is great job experience! All interested teens must fill out an application. Participants enroll in the C.I.T program by turning in an application and going through an interview process.  This gives them valuable experience in the job market.  They also will be able to use this as work experience and use you as a reference on a résumé.
---
Provide Additional Rewards
You may find it desirable to reward C.I.T’s in other ways with monetary gifts and other rewards to make this an even better deal for them.  Remember, you want them to want to work for you in the future.
---
C.I.T. is the Progam for Me
For many reasons, this is a great program and every gym ought to be using it in some form.  It decreases your pupil-teacher ratio, provides a pool of well-trained gymnastics coaches who know your system intimately and provides an extra labor pool for all of your work in the gym.
