June Storer

Preschool/Rec Instructor

Getting to know June

My name is June Storer. I've been coaching gymnastics for over 34
years. Our family has lived all over the country so I have taught
gymnastics not only in Florida but W.V., MD., TX., CA., UT., and N.J.
Coaching children in gymnastics is such a joy in my life. I love it
when one of my students gets a new skill! I'm as excited as they are.

I was born in Washington, D.C. We moved to Harpers Ferry, WV when I was
5 years old and that is where I grew up. I was a cheerleader in junior
high and high school and always loved the gymnastics part of
cheerleading. When I went to Ricks College in ID when I was 17, I asked
if I could join the gymnastics team just so I could learn more skills.
When I was 20 I started coaching gymnastics and I have been coaching
over the years ever since as I raised my family.

I am the mother of 4 grown sons and have been married to my husband,
Joe for almost 36 years. I have 3 beautiful granddaughters from my
oldest son, Rob and his wife Kathy. My youngest son , Jesse was a
gymnast for over 10 years.

The thing I love about working at Twisters is the other coaches and
staff I work with. I love associating with them and enjoy learning from
them. I love coaching on the rec side, but enjoy knowing that if I have
a talented child that is ready to participate on the team side that we
truly have amazing team coaches to train that child. Just recently one
of the girls I taught and recommended her for team came to me and said,
" Thank you, Ms. June for recommending me to team. I love it!"

Some things I enjoy at home is watching NCIS and Bones on television.
When I have a chance to read I enjoy reading the scriptures and books
by the author Harlan Coben. I love eating chocholate even though I
probably shouldn't admit to that. I love baking, especially cookies and
pies.

I was in awe with gymasts like Olga Korbut, Nadia Comaneci and Mary Lou
Retton. But, the person I most looked up to as a child and even more so
as an adult was my mother! She was such a patient and loving mother and
grandmother to my children.
