Hayley Michael joins Parkettes as the Director of Recreational Gymnastics, bringing a strong
combination of coaching expertise and program leadership experience. She comes to Parkettes
from the Texas Academy of Gymnastics, where she served as Operations and Training Manager,
playing a central role both on the gym floor and in the operational leadership of a large
gymnastics’ facility serving more than 2,500 athletes annually.
In that role, Hayley was responsible for helping lead daily operations, staff training, program
development, and athlete instruction across multiple recreational and early development
programs. Her work focused on building structured, engaging programs while maintaining high
standards for coaching, safety, and athlete development.
Hayley is especially passionate about the recreational side of gymnastics, where she enjoys
introducing young athletes to the sport while helping them build confidence, coordination, and a
love for movement. She believes these early experiences are where a lifelong love for
gymnastics often begins.
As Director of Recreational Gymnastics, Hayley’s goal is to ensure that every
athlete—regardless of age or ability—feels supported, challenged, and excited to come to the
gym. She is committed to creating an environment where athletes develop not only physical
skills but also confidence, discipline, and a sense of accomplishment that extends beyond the
gym.
After making the 1,400-mile move to Pennsylvania for a new adventure, Hayley is excited to
join the Parkettes family. She looks forward to continuing the strong tradition of the Parkettes
recreational program; while helping it grow and evolve for the next generation of athletes and
families.
