Coach Laura is our Head Team Coach. She earned her Bachelors Degree of Science in Kinesiology and Education from Salem State College, Salem MA. She has also earned a Masters of Education in Dance and Physical Education from Southeastern Louisiana University. She also studied Psychology at the Doctoral level at University of Houston.

Laura competed at the high school, private club and collegiate level. 

She also taught at Southeastern Louisiana University, Texas A&M University and University of Houston.

Laura and her husband Kevin Mazeika (a USA Olympic Men’s coach for 4 Olympics) have been gym owners, coaches and judges in the Houston area for more than 50 years. They have two beautiful daughters who are dancers in San Fransisco, and we love when they come visit the gym.

Coach Maria has been with Mazeika’s for over ten years. She started as a student here, and did competitive gymnastics for ten years, completing Level 10. She has been an awesome coach for 5 years.

Maria is always there for all the athletes that come into our gym, and even though she is a Team Coach, she is always available for every single gymnast when needed.

Her favorite gymnastics skill is a high flying skill on the bars called a gienger.

“My favorite thing about coaching is watching kids come out of their shell, conquer something new, fail a few times and develop a love for gymnastics which, in turn, increases their confidence.”

Coach Jason has been a gymnast for over 25 years, a coach for 20 years and has been with us for over 10 years. He is so funny and is always making the kids laugh.

Jason coaches all Levels (boys and girls) and also runs our weekend clinics.

Jason’s favorite part about coaching is seeing the look on the kids faces when they stick a new skill. He just loves to share in their excitement.

His favorite gymnastics moves are front handsprings and the front tuck.

Coach Vanessa has been involved in gymnastics since the age of three.

After graduating from UTSA, she started her coaching career at a small gym in San Antonio. She coached recreational classes and even started a pre-team and then coached Team Levels 1-3.

Recently moving back to Houston, she has joined our other team coaches, and we couldn't be more thrilled!

Vanessa loves being a part of the young athletes gymnastics journey. She finds joy in seeing their improvement through their own hard work and dedication. She strongly believes that gymnastics is beneficial and makes a big difference in their lives.

She loves coaching on beam, and helping the gymnasts through any fears they may have. She enjoys coaching from a positive perspective and watching the girls grow.
