-“Rhythmic gymnastics – is a huge part of my life. Physical and psychological development of children in sport , education and training of gymnasts to compete and popularization of this sport are my main goals. Our school is named in honor of my mother in memory of her. She brought me to this sport which gave me huge opportunities in life.”

“I think the child, being in the gym, is distracted from negative street factors, gets physical activity, becomes sociable, gets to know new friends, develops leadership qualities, forms the ability to achieve goals, is not afraid to deal with difficulties, which will be very useful in later life.”

“I believe that sport is training for real life and is ideal for enhancing the positive development on children. Youth development through sport goes beyond building an athlete’s specific abilities. It aims to cultivate the psychological, social, emotional, physical and intellectual skills that they can apply in all facets of life .”

Karolina Demydova
Coach
“When a little girl comes into the rhythmic gymnastics gym for the first time the most important thing is to give her the fundamentals of this beautiful sport, teach her commitment, hard work and of course love for gymnastics. As she grows older and transforms into a young gymnast there are new, higher mountains she has to climb. My job is to guide her through those mountains, show her the path I once took when I was a gymnast just like her. It won’t be easy, it will be tough and challenging but there’s nothing you can’t do when there is someone with you on your journey who believes in you even when you don’t believe in yourself. A a dedicated gymnast and a coach who is confident in her success is an unstoppable force.”

Olga Kotelnikova
Coach
“Believe in yourself and the right people will help you to achieve your goals and this isn’t only about athletes and coaches. In group routines, girls spend a lot of time together and they become more than a team, they become a family. Little family with their own amazing communications. They support and help each other. They are still individual people, but their common goals unite them. I believe so much in this connection. That’s marvelous!”
