Anatoli joined our staff in 2001. A former high level National/ International Russian
gymnast, he is wonderfully technical, organized, a great communicator, intense and
humble...but also very outgoing, humorous and dynamic. His Undergraduate Sports
and Master of Gymnastics degrees, coaching years at Krylatskoe in Moscow with the
top Soviet Coaches and Gymnasts and his experience coaching the last few years at
North Stars in New Jersey, one of the top 10 clubs in the USA, make him a super
asset for ACROS. |

Ashley has had a love of gymnastics since the age of 5, continuing to compete herself
for 11 years. She graduated from Louisiana State University with a BS in Psychology,
always wanting to work with children. Her association with ACROS began in 1986 when
her oldest daughter enrolled in the KinderSTAR program. Now she has 2 daughters
in the team program, and her goal is to help our ACROS girls develop a life long
love for the sport of gymnastics, to equal her own. |

Kim's association with ACROS began when her oldest daughter started in the KinderSTAR
Program. She began driving our TumbleBUS and experienced such success that ACROS
convinced her to take over the KinderSTAR program. A 1980 graduate of the University
of Southern Indiana with a degree in Finance, Kim has a very high commitment to
community as well as family which is reflected in the growth of the KinderSTAR and
TumbleBUS programs. |
