Please come to our Interest Meeting on Thursday 9/28.2023, 2:30 - 3:15 in Room 1058 to learn more about the program! This meeting should answer most of your questions!
I am excited to be coaching my 9th season of OPVG and am anticipating a great year! We will look stunning in our beautiful new leos this year! Our team is a close group of encouraging, kind girls who enjoy competing.
We will be practicing at Apollo gymnastics the majority of the time. I will have a practice/meet schedule, participant expectations, and answer questions at the meeting.

My Background
This is my 9th season coaching OPVG! Presently, I am a Compulsory Team coach but have worked with gymnasts of all ages/levels over 35 years of involvement in Virginia gymnastics as a coach/administrator/mentor for various local clubs.
In addition to my coaching experience, I am an USAG National Rated Official that also judges High School, Club, and NCAA gymnastics. This extensive experience has proven to be an asset to you with my routine composition and extensive network of contacts! If you are a club gymnast, you might see improvement in your club gymnastics too!
I am a native Virginian who was a competitive gymnast, both in club and high school (Maryland). I was also a NVSL competitive diver and I'm the assistant coach for PWCS Dive.
I look forward to seeing you at the Interest Meeting!
