Gym Spotlight: V-Force Elite Gymnastics
V-Force Elite in Madera, CA, opened in July 2010, by Katelyn and Megan Verduzco. Both were competitive gymnasts growing up and wanted to turn their love for gymnastics into a career. They started small with 3 employees, 12 team gymnasts, and a handful of recreational classes. They now have 16 staff members, over 70 competitive girls and boys, and over 500 students attending weekly classes. Snowflake outfits V-Force Elite’s competitive teams, attends their hosted competitions and events as a vendor, and maintains a consignment in their gym.
Above are a few of V-Force Elite’s gymnasts in their custom Snowflake competition leotards.
Megan was kind enough to answer a few questions for us about the goals of V-Force and why Snowflake Designs is the perfect fit for accomplishing those goals.
What do you want people to know about V-Force Elite?
Our Mission at V-Force Elite is to provide a safe and happy environment in which your child can increase their self-confidence by developing their athletic ability. Every child is applauded when an attempt is made to try a new skill. Each child in every class will feel some level of success and will depart each training session with elevated self-esteem.
Who doesn’t love confident, happy kids? Above are a couple of gymnasts in custom Snowflake gear. Yes, we make custom clothing, too!
What does V-Force Elite have planned in 2017?
We are currently building a new facility that will include pits and much more room for our gym monkeys!
How did you find Snowflake Designs?
We have known Snowflake since the very beginning when LaDonna was sewing leotards out of her house. Even though we were at different gyms, the Snow family has always been so supportive and encouraging every step of my gymnastics career! Now we have gone from gymnasts to coaches to owners, but the support has remained the same! Good people are hard to find and when you do you keep them close! LaDonna has been such a great mentor in this journey and we are so blessed to know them!
What would you tell someone about Snowflake Designs?
We LOVE Snowflake Designs! They have such great quality and we are blessed to have them so close!
Anything else you want our readers to know…
We just are so blessed and couldn’t have done this without the love and support of our parents, husbands, amazing staff and all the V-Force families that have made our dreams come true!
Thank you, Megan, for those kind words! We love working with you to outfit your athletes and can hardly wait to see your new facility filled with gymnasts proudly wearing their Snowflake leos.
