About Us

Hello! My name is Suzy and I have been involved in gymnastics, since I was 10 years old. I was a competitive gymnast, as a Level 8 in Holland, Michigan and then joined my high school team at Holland High School. Our team won the team State Championship titles 1994-1997 and I was an individual champion in 1996 on Vault, Floor, and All-Around. I went off to Western Michigan University, where I competed floor and vault for the Broncos in 1998, and 1999.

I retired from the sport and decided to coach high school gymnastics for Portage Northern and Central High Schools (2000-2004), Freeland & Swan Valley High Schools (2006-2013), and currently for Vassar Co-op (2021- current). 

I won the MHSCJA Coach of the Year Award in 2009 and 2021.

I am a busy mother, wife, and teacher at Reese High School.

I love to travel, coach, and work with kids. 

Hi, my name is Lauren.  I've been coaching gymnastics for eight years and I coached cheerleading for two years too.  I started gymnastics in 6th grade and in high school switched to cheer.  I cheered for 10 years, from 8th grade through college at SVSU for five years.  During my time at SVSU, I joined the club gymnastics team because I missed the sport and competed on the club team for two years.  My third year of college, I was asked by a fellow teammate to help coach the Vassar gymnastics youth team and I haven't looked back!  My favorite thing about coaching is seeing my gymnasts grow, learn new skills, and watching them become confident and outgoing athletes.  My favorite events are floor and vault.

Hi, my name is Sydney.  I've been doing gymnastics since I was seven years old and competed on both the Vassar Youth and High School teams.  During my time on the high school team, I was nominated for the 2021 Senior Gymnast of the Year, broke the beam program record with a 9.675, was a State Runner Up on beam and earned All State honors twice.  The following year, I came back to coach and have loved it ever since!  My favorite events are beam and floor but I love coaching all of them!  I am also a junior at Saginaw Valley State University  pursuing a degree in elementary education.

Hi, my name is Mallory and I have been involved in gymnastics for a long time.  I competed for the Vassar  Youth Gymnastics team for two years in elementary school, took a ten-year hiatus from the sport, then came back for my junior and senior years of high school to compete for the Vassar Co-Op Varsity Gymnastics Team.  I was very active in track, gymnastics and dance at Reese High School, where I graduated  from in 2022.  I am still active with Reese Modern Dance, where I teach classes as well as judge with MHSAA and coach at TYG.  I am currently a student at SVSU where I'm pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design.  I love coaching because it gives me the chance to keep up with a sport I love and to be someone that kids can look up to.  I love supporting them and helping them chase their dreams.

Hello!  My name is Danielle Witbrodt and I graduated from Bay City Central in 2022 and am now at SVSU for exercise science.  I was a dancer for 16 years and a gymnast for 15 years at Bay Valley Academy.  During my senior year of high school, I joined the Vassar High School Co-Op Team.  Along with my 16 years of gymnastics and dance experience, I have been coaching for almost six years.  At Bay Valley Academy, I started coaching in 8th grade and continued until I graduated from high school before coaching for the Tuscola Youth Gymnastics team.
