Anatoly and Tamara Kozeev would like to recognize four of their gymnasts.  These four gymnasts came to Kozeev’s World of Gymnastics as young children.  They grew up together at Kozeev’s, and 2006 marks the end of their time at Kozeev’s as they graduate and move on to life after high school.  These girls have been state champions many times in many events, as well as regional and national qualifiers.  In order to become a successful gymnast, it takes dedicated parents, dedicated coaches and most of all a dedicated gymnast.  We have watched these girls grow before our eyes into beautiful young women and through the years we have taken care of each other.  Now this is a very bittersweet time for us as part of our lives are leaving to pursue their goals and follow their dreams.  We wish them well and the very best of luck in the future!

Alyssa was 8 when she started gymnastics at Kozeev’s.  Through her perseverance Alyssa has been a 5 time regional qualifier and champion, and a national qualifier.  She is a very dedicated gymnast and an inspiration to every girl at Kozeev’s.  The work ethic and positive attitude Alyssa brings to the gym everyday is extraordinary and has made an impact on all gymnasts at Kozeev’s.

She has accepted a position on the University of Alabama Gymnastics team, and after graduating high school early in December, she will begin her new gymnastics career at Alabama in January.  She is the first gymnast from Kozeev’s World of Gymnastics to achieve this goal and we are very proud of her.  Alyssa will return to Kozeev’s each summer and during the holidays, to train with our team.  We look forward to her sharing the adventures of university gymnastics with us and wish her the very best.
