Liezl Wepener

Liezl’s Parkour journey started in a way many parents will recognise — as a typical “gymnastics mom” supporting from the sidelines. But it didn’t take long before watching from the side turned into getting involved, becoming part of the club and ultimately falling in love with Parkour herself.

For the past two years, Liezl has been actively coaching Parkour and has become an important part of the Agility family. She coaches our Parkour Sprouts, where her passion for working with younger children really shines. She loves watching the little ones arrive with their own personalities, ideas and abilities, and then seeing them develop their movement skills, confidence and independence as they progress.

Liezl is also involved behind the scenes of competitive Parkour. She serves as a scorer at the Parkour National Championships, as well as at club competitions in Gauteng and the Free State, giving her the opportunity to experience the sport from both the coaching and competition sides.

Her involvement with Agility goes far beyond coaching. Liezl is actively involved in Agility Gymnastics Club and is one of the club’s directors, helping support the club and the children who are at the heart of it.

What makes Liezl special is her genuine passion for the little ones. She celebrates the small victories just as enthusiastically as the big ones and is often one of the kids’ biggest supporters. Whether it’s a first jump, finally overcoming an obstacle, finding the courage to try something new or simply having fun moving, Liezl is there cheering them on.

For her, Parkour is about more than getting from one obstacle to the next — it’s about giving children the confidence to explore, try, fall, get back up, think creatively and discover just how much they are capable of.

LITTLE MOVES. BIG COURAGE. ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES.
