Cara
Head Coach
Hello my name is Cara Morotti/Banks I bring over 13 years of experience in acro and gymnastics, along with a strong background in teaching swimming, cheerleading, dance, and tumbling. Throughout my life, I have been deeply involved in my community in Tuolumne County and have built a 25-year career in customer service, developing patience, communication, and a genuine passion for working with people.
In addition to my professional experience, I am a parent to a son with physical disabilities. This has given me meaningful, firsthand experience supporting children with a wide range of physical and emotional needs. It has shaped my ability to approach every child with compassion, adaptability, and understanding, ensuring each one feels supported, included, and capable.
I am excited for this new opportunity to work with your children and help them grow into confident, strong gymnasts while creating a positive and encouraging environment for all.
