Dear Aspirals, I wanted to write to you today to express my sheer gratitude and appreciation for your facility and most specifically, your coaching staff.As you are aware, my daughter Yeva began recreational gymnastics in 2003 under the direction of Ms. Elena Portnoi. Elena is a wonderful person
who I believe is one the reasons that my Yeva has such a positive desire for this sport. She was gentle and loving when needed and also firm and encouraging enough for the children
to learn properly. I am very happy that Yeva's first experiences
were with Ms. Elena and Yeva simply adored her. Yeva has
since progressed to pre-competitive level and is coached by
Ms. Irina Barba. Again, a wonderful coach whose love and
dedication for what she does shows, and is reflected in the
students. Yeva has done very well and I am so pleased to have Ms. Irina instructing her. The recent Valentines Classic Invitational was spectacular. It was the first performance and Irina led them beautifully. She is truly an asset to your team. I would also like to mention Ms. Luidmila Kovtun who is always
there to help and provides her vast knowledge and expertise. I thank you, Sima, for allowing my daughter to have a place to go where she feels safe and cared for. It is a place where she can do what she loves and it makes her so happy. Best Regards
