Chin Dub Fong
WAG & MAG Coach
Coach Dub joined NorthStar Gymnastics as Gymnastics Coach for WAG and MAG. He has been involved with the sport for over two decades, and coaches both recreational and competitive squads.
Prior to joining NorthStar Gymnastics, he has coached in Singapore for 8 years at clubs, local and international schools at both recreational and junior competitive levels. He judged at local competitions organised by Singapore Gymnastics and international schools for the past 6 years. Dub used to be in the IT industry but found himself spending more time in the gym, practicing and occasionally coaching other students, than on coursework during his university days in Australia. Hence the switch to a role which requires being on the feet most of the time instead of a chair.
He is an internationally accredited FIG MAG Coach (Level 2), FIG TRA Coach (Level 1), nationally accredited Intermediate WAG Coach (Level 1b), Intermediate KinderGym Coach (Level 1b), and WAG Judge (Level 1). He also possesses coaching accreditations from British Gymnastics and Gymnastics Australia.
Coach Dub brings to NorthStar Gymnastics experience in delivering gymnastics programmes to a variety of environments with their own unique challenges. As a technology enthusiast, Coach Dub believes in leveraging on existing technology to help enhance the learning process in gymnastics.
