Our 2021 Team
Connor Bowman

Ahmir Postell
Coach
Ahmir, who hails from the nearby Virginia Beach, grew up with dreams of joining Tribe Gymnastics - and we’re glad to have him! Regularly competing on rings, high bar, and parallel bars, he has already made a huge difference to our team score. Beyond his talent for the sport, Ahmir is a dedicated coach - beginning early his first semester, he quickly developed a knack for it, and is as well-liked by his gymnasts as he is proficient at teaching them.
Stay tuned for our 2022 staff!
We’ll update this page as soon as we have coaches confirmed for the 2022 summer camp season.

Alek Kuzmenchuk

Beyond this, Alek is an invaluable teammate - always there to lend a hand, his tips in the gym are spot on. Alek has made sure to pass this insight to the younger generation of gymnasts, and has both coached and been nationally certified to judge since his junior year of high school.
