Coaches
Every coach who works within Gloria teams has extensive coaching experience in junior and senior AGG age categories.
We provide gymnasts with all the support necessary to continuously develop and reach tangible results.
Consistent effort, positivity, and a competitive attitude are some of the messages we try to transmit to all gymnasts, expecting the same thing from them.
