So much is happening and such little time!

Posted on Tue, Mar 01, 2016 @ 12:03 PM

It's a new year and it is insane to be aware of being on our 3rd month in. The time is flying as the saying goes, the children are growing past our height (at least mine, sad times) and before we know it, I will be writing the same blog about "time flying" again next year. To get to the point, we have many events coming and the session will come to an end 6 weeks after this one. Here is a list of SOME the upcoming events.

 IMG_0577-2.jpgIMG_0580-2.jpg

  • State Championship Girls and Boys, March 12th-13th
  • Spring Camp is on March 21st- April 8th
  • Academy Meet & Expo April 17th
  • Session 2 ends on April 17th
  • Session 3 starts April 18th
  • Open House is on May 22nd
  • Summer Camp is on June 6th- August 29th

A ton of fun that can't be missed out, everyone who has attended to any, loves it. Best to sign up now then later. Below are more information to the upcoming Camps.

This Weekend We have A Couple of Competitions

Posted on Tue, Feb 23, 2016 @ 08:02 AM
 

This weekend we have two competitions and LASG is excited to hear soon about their great performances. We will be having the Girls LA Cup Invitational Competition and Boys LA Lights Conference Championship. These competitions are for Qualifications for State Competition which leads to Regionals and then lastly Nationals. We are rooting and without a doubt highly confident that our students will be going the distance!


Luckly, was able to have a quick second interview of one of the many students attending this weekend's competition, as all are completely focused to be the best. Caught him taking a minute break,

From the picture below we have Mason Stokdyk lvl8,

,who got 3rd on the P-Bar (Parallel Bar) from the previous competition known as the Azarian cup.

Confidently Mason is "Excited and Ready!" for this weekend as you can see with his striking pose in the picture above. He has an uplifting spirit and remarkable amount of energy, it was difficult for him to stay seated. He was anxious to go back to practice to hone his skills to perfection, and glad to have him for the second to show what kind of confidence our students have for the upcoming competitions to qualify for state and we have no doubt they have the potential to do so.

Below are some of the competing boys of L.A.S.G.

IMG_0654.jpg

Followed by the girls who are adamant and focused, where when they fell, they had a strong front that showed their mentality was not phased each time they fell (which was rare) and got up and tried again until they feel closer to perfection.

We can't wait to hear about their results!! Thank you for reading and have a great day!

USA Gymnastics Honors LA School of Gymnastics with Coach and Athlete of Year

Posted on Fri, May 22, 2015 @ 19:05 PM

May 22nd, 2015

LA School of Gymnastics is proud to annouce that the Head Rhthymic Gymnastics Coach Olga Putsillo and LASG's own Olympic-bound athlete Isabelle Connor completed a Gold Medal sweep at the 2015 Rhythymic Regional Gymnastics Championship in Sylmar, CA last week. Competing in the Level 9 Junior category, Connor swept first place all-around with a score of 49.6500, the highest score in 12 states across the country. USA Gymnastics honored Connor with the 2015 Athlete of the Year award in conjunction with her Coach Olga Putsillo, who also received the 2015 Coach of the Year honor from USA Gymnastics, the national governing body for gymnastics in the United States.

Coach Putsillo spoke proudly of Connor's performance, stating "I was impressed. She didn't make any mistakes. She was confident". Coach Putsillo herself was "very happy" by being honored as Coach of the Year by USA Gymnastics, and attributed both her and Isabelle's success to Isabelle's passion and dedication to her future in national level Rythmic Gymnastics. After such an amazing performance, Coach Putsillo is looking forward to Isabelle qualifying to the next level of competition at Level 10 Rhythmic Gymnastics. 

Isabelle Connor and Coach Putsillo will continue to the 2015 Rhythmic Gymnastics National Qualifier on June 5th in Lake Placid, New York at the United States Olympic Training Center to secure a spot on the United States National Team. Send your supportive wishes on the Offical LASG Facebook, Twitter, and Blog to support Isabelle and her coach. Way to go, ladies!

Do you know where Leotards come from? LASG does...

Posted on Mon, Apr 28, 2014 @ 18:04 PM
Have you ever wondered the purpose behind the different types of form, fitting clothing called Leotards, you see gymnasts and dancers wear?
The leotards used in gymnastics are not only fashion statements but mainly used because they allow freedom of movement for the gymnasts and dancers.
This delicate but durable clothing, named after a French acrobat named Jules Leotard, became a popular choice among colleagues after a 1859.  It was a flying trapeze performance that showed off Leotard’s physic and style.
Jules Leotard called the garment a “maillot” which is the French word for jersey, but the word “leotard” become famous in 1886 which was well after Jules Leotard's death.
You can find leotards worn on gymnasts, dancers and athletes all over the world today.  Fashionably nice to look at, as well as, sophisicated for perfomance.
Los Angeles School of Gymnastics loves the ever changing colors and styles of leotards, this is this year's, what's your favorite leotard?

LASG's Gabriel Sheriff, All Star Team Member

Posted on Mon, Apr 07, 2014 @ 17:04 PM

Congratulations Gabriel Sheriff, a level 6 gymnast, for becoming a member of the All Star Team! He is one of 9 who will be representing Southern California in the Regional Championships. Chosen for his performance at the SCMGA State Championships held at SOKA University March 21-23, 2014.

Gabriel on Still Bars

 

I asked Gabriel how he reacted after being told he had been chosen to be an All Star Team Member, and his face lit up! "I was really excited! I didn't think I would because I had fallen 3 times on the high bar. But when Manvel told me, I was elated and really happy."

His favorite gymnastics events are the Floor Exercises. He likes the open space to do backhand springs and to express himself through various flips, twists, and tumbles. He has been told he has powerful legs, which translates his seemingly effortless performances.

Gabriel has been practicing gymnastics since he was just 2 years old! He took 10 years off to focus on his studies and musical passion, but he felt like something was missing in his life. At 17 years old, Gabriel decided to join gymnastics once again. He chose to attend the Los Angeles School of Gymnastics after doing a lot of research on boys programs and found his home at LASG. He has been with LASG since August of 2013, and he has already made an exceptional impact on our student body and himself.

IMG_0197

Gabriel is a great inspiration for gymnasts everywhere! He started young and chose to steer away from the gymnastics lifestyle, but found himself most satisfied with his life while being involved in the gymnastics community. He found that returning to gymnastics had filled the empty void in his life and gave him something to occupy his time and divert him away from sitting on the couch and watching TV after school.

Gabriel Sheriff is planning to pursue a career in dentistry while continuing gymnastics. He would also like to explore musical theater. Gabriel is a multi-talented individual, not only is he a skilled gymnast, but he also plays the cello, sings, acts and dances. He loves to entertain!

Gymnastics is not only the foundation of all sports, but also the foundation of a confident future.

March 2014 Elite Squad Training Camp

Posted on Tue, Mar 25, 2014 @ 17:03 PM

Coach Elena Bokova and Rhythmic Gymnast Isabella spent the weekend in Houston, Texas at the March 2014 Elite Squad Training Camp. Isabela qualified per her competition results from 2014 Colorado Invitational in February. The camp was intended to bring together emerging athletes and their coaches to benefit from an event with other gymnasts and coaches for collective feedback, collective teamwork, and stimulation. Take a look at some of Elena ad Isabella's experience at the March 2014 Elite Squad Training Camp!

It must have been chilly in Texas this weekend as our LASG gymnasts are bundled up outside of their camp facility. Elena has been coaching rhythmic gymnastics for over 10 years. She currently also teaches Off-Ice Skating and manages the front office. Thanks for all your hard work, Elena!

   Rhythmic Gymnasts stretch on the stretching bar       during training camp. It is evident that these gymnasts are taking full advantage of the Elite Squad Training Camp through their posture and focused facial expressions. The gymnasts worked hard on improving their techniques, strength and flexibility skills through conditioning. After training, Isabella and her fellow Rhythmic Gymnasts get a break on the floor and put their focus on their studies.

Thank you USA Gymnastics for this wonderful opportunity! Coach Elena and Isabella had a blast!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Posted on Mon, Mar 17, 2014 @ 15:03 PM

St. Patrick's Day Fun Facts!

luckgym

Saint Patrick was not Irish!

March 17th is the day Saint Patrick passed away, it's a day of honor and remembrance.

Shamrocks were used as a method of explaining the Holy Trinity (The Father, The Son & The Holy Spirit)

The FOUR Leaf Clover is a symbol of luck because not all Shamrocks have 4 petals. You're truly lucky if you come accross one! The odds of finding a Four Leaf Clover is 1 in 10,000!

 

Why do we wear green on St. Patrick's Day?

Green is a symbol of Spring, Ireland, and the Shamrock, but not St. Patrick himself! St. Patrick's color was blue. Did you know that?

How does the Los Angeles School of Gymnastics celebrate St. Patrick's Day? We wear green!

Take a look at some of our little LASG leprechauns!
