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 from 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. In 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 an elementary teacher at Akron-Fairgrove.

Hi, my name is Mallory, and I have been involved in gymnastics for a long time. I competed for the Vassar Youth Gymnastics team, and competed during my junior and senior years of high school for the Vassar Co-Op Varsity Gymnastics Team. I was very active in 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.

My name is Ellymae, and I have been involved in gymnastics since I was 4 years old. I started my gymnastics career at MMG, in Freeland and competed in gymnastics for them until I decided to try other school sports. I joined the Vassr HS gymnastics team in my 10th-grade year, and in my Senior Year, I earned All-Region team and qualified for the State Finals on Vault. Also, I ran cross country and track for Reese and earned All-State first team honors. Currently, I am attending college to earn a degree and become a health fitness specialist.

My name is Sadira and I have been involved in Vassar gymnastics since I was very young, through the youth program. I was a member of the Vassar High School Gymnastics team my freshman through my junior year representing Mayville high school. I took some time off from the sport, but knew that gymnastics was my passion and needed to get back into the sport. I have been coaching for Tuscola Youth Gymnastics since 2024 and I love coaching the youth in a sport that I love. My favorite events are bars and floor.

When I'm not at the gym, I love spending time with my 2 children and watching them grow.

My name is Kristi and I have been coaching for Tuscola Youth Gymnastics, since 2024. I was a former Vassar High School gymnast and ran the Vassar Youth program in the early 2000's. My speciality is working with the young ones and I love coaching preschool children. I also run a homeschool program and my children are a part of that. 

When I'm not at the gym, I run a family farm and a homeschool program. Our family enjoys the out of doors and try to be outside as much as possible.
