Gymnastics is a Family Business – it involves not only the coach and the gymnasts, but also the coach and her/his family, and the gymnast and his/her family. Our coaches are all a part of the Huff ‘n Puff Family and Jacksonville Gymnastics Team Family.
Coach Erin Wunderl, our Assistant Head Team Coach, has been with us for five and a half years. Her specialty in the gym is working with the team girls on the beam and many of our team and preschool successes can be attributed to her coaching and work ethics. For several years past, Erin taught preschoolers from the youngest Mommy-and-Me students to the advanced preschoolers and was Director of our Preschool Gymnastics Program. She was a gymnastics student for thirteen years and competed at Level Eight. She was the State All-Around Champion, Level Seven for two years in a row. Erin graduated magna cum laude from Arkansas Tech University in 1999, with a degree in Elementary Education and is a certified kindergarten teacher. She has coached team for twelve years, Levels three to eight and now nines, and has also taught preschool gymnastics for ages two to five-year-olds for the past ten years. She taught advanced preschool classes for children ready to be challenged. As our Team has grown, Erin, as assistant head coach, has taken on more of the duties. She and husband Asher are parents to three-year-old Ty.
