Gymnastics Coaching Staff

After a 3 ½ year gymnastics career through Gymkhana Gymnastics Club and Hoffman Estates High School, I came back to the sport of gymnastics a year after my high school graduation. I have now been coaching for over half a decade! The sport had done so much for me building my discipline, resiliency, strength, teamwork and courage. I wanted to come back to the sport to help young athletes develop these same traits to help them prosper in sports and in life. My favorite skill to work on is Giants on High Bar.

Coach Ava was a gymnast for 10 years, competing for Lakeshore Gymnastics Academy, CITY Gymnastics, Buffalo Grove Gymnastics and American Academy Gymnastics Wheeling. Ava left the sport as a level 8 competitor to join her high school cheer program at GBN. Ava started coaching in Spring 2023 after significantly missing the sport of Gymnastics but knew she was satisfied with her competitive career and looked for another path. Ava – “I have loved coaching and helping athletes build the same positive habits and characteristics that bettered my life.” Her favorite skill was Giants on Bars.

Coach Madeline was a gymnast for the 13 years, competing for Dreams Gymnastics, IGI, Viking Gymnastics, and American Academy Gymnastics Wheeling. Madeline left the sport to pursue a high school diving career. Madeline started coaching after missing gymnastics after her competitive career was over but wanted to stay involved in the sport. Madeline – “I love being able to spread my love for the sport to young gymnasts I coach.” Her favorite skill to compete was a Side Aerial on Balance Beam.
