Julie began taking gymnastics classes because she was tired of watching her little brother playing basketball at the Y. A few friends from her new school were taking a gymnastics class at the same time and it looked fun. However, after being in class for two weeks, the coach asked if she could train Julie over the next few months. The rest is history.
