Kira Leiderman, a native of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, has been an integral member of Parkettes since October 1993, bringing over three decades of dedicated coaching experience. She has cultivated gymnasts at every developmental stage—from toddlers learning foundational skills to athletes competing at Level 7 and Xcel programs.
Before officially joining Parkettes, Kira gained valuable experience as a volunteer and staff member at the Bethlehem YMCA, honing her instructional skills and passion for gymnastics education. She specializes in all four women’s artistic gymnastics events, with particular expertise and affinity for the uneven bars, guiding athletes to technical mastery and competitive success.
A former Parkettes athlete herself, Kira developed her skills within the program and also competed for two seasons on her high school gymnastics team. She derives immense fulfillment from nurturing young gymnasts, combining technical precision with encouragement, confidence-building, and a love for the sport.
Kira’s decades of experience, technical expertise, and dedication make her a cornerstone of Parkettes’ mission to develop confident, capable, and skilled athletes at every level.
