A ll Star Gymnastics is a USA Gymnastics developmental training facility offering gymnastics and tumbling classes to children ages two and older. Available programs include boys and girls com- petitive gymnastic teams, recreational gymnastics, special events, and student camps. Owner Jackie Latino launched the gym- nastics program in 1987 at Immaculata High School. As the program grew, it moved to a 5,000-square-foot facility on Paxton Street. Continued expansion led to the addition of a second location in 2005—a 10,000-square-foot facility on Bonn Street that opened just one week before Hurricane Katrina. “We evacuated before Katrina hit and
were able to return three weeks later,” Latino recalls. “All Star was the first gymnastics facility to reopen after the hurricane. We offered a place for kids to attend day camp while their families worked to rebuild their lives.” This deep commitment to the commu- nity and the families they serve has helped All Star Gymnastics become the premier training program it is today. “All Star has grown into a first-class training facility that provides both beginner and advanced training in a safe, encouraging environment,” Latino explains. “Our talented coaching staff and small class sizes set us apart. We’re passionate about gymnastics and dedi- cated to helping each athlete reach their full potential while supporting families
every step of the way.”
All Star Gymnastics has trained multiple state, regional, and national champions, as well as numerous college athletes from universities such as Louisiana State University, Penn State University, University of Illinois, Iona University, and Springfield College. The All Star team stays active in the community, regularly volunteering at events that benefit children and offering their time and expertise at area gymnastics competitions. “New Orleans is home,” Latino says. “We’re truly a family-oriented business, and we work hard to meet the needs of every family we serve.”
