Elite LaFleur's Gymnastics ~ coached by David and Laura Parraga
LaFleur's Gymnastic Club of Largo had their first gymnast, Kaitlin Green, compete in the HOPES elite division in 2008. As with all levels of competition LaFleur's is dedicated to excellence in the elite program. Our two current elite track athletes are under the supervision and direction of David and Laura Parraga. Our coaches and athletes are working toward finding a healthy balance in training elite athletes both physically and mentally.
