We’re excited to introduce Devonte Smith, the new Head Coach of our Flyers Gymnastics Team! Devonte isn’t just bringing experience to the mat; he’s bringing a passion and vision to our gymnastics program. He’s ready to lead the Flyers to new heights, building a program where athletes don’t just learn skills, they discover their potential. And here’s the cool part: Devonte’s been there, done that, and can still do it! As a former gymnast himself, he can demonstrate skills firsthand, building connections with our gymnasts and offering expert instruction from a place of shared experience. For Devonte, coaching isn’t just a job; it’s about witnessing the “aha!” moments, the pure elation on a gymnast’s face when they nail a new move!

Devonte’s got big plans. He’s not just aiming to grow the program; he’s on a mission to bring the joy of gymnastics to the team, parents and the community. He envisions a program where hard work is met with enthusiasm and where athletes develop not just as gymnasts but as individuals. He’s eager to build up and grow our team and make a real difference in the lives of our young athletes.

Welcome to the team, Devonte!
