Description
AcroSports is located in the landmark Poly Gym across from San Francisco’s Kezar Stadium - part of the old Polytechnic High School saved by the community to serve as a center for recreation, learning, and sports.
AcroSports was co-founded by Sergey Zenov and Youry Kelpatsky (acrobats from the Moscow Circus); Michael Margulis (a Ukrainian gymnast); and Dorrie Huntington (a San Francisco Bay Area community activist and current Executive Director).
With volunteer labor, high spirits, and community support, AcroSports staff, families and friends turned the East gym from an abandoned pigeon roost into a 10,000 square foot facility with full gymnastics equipment and circus rigging along with supporting office, exercise, and art space.
We are governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, staffed by professionals, and supported by parents, students, and friends. AcroSports is determined to offer the best coaching staff by attracting and training talented individuals in acrobatics, gymnastics, dance, and the circus arts. We are committed to working safely, appropriately, and effectively with each of our students.
AcroSports reaches out to the community, working with schools, various city programs, and other non-profit organizations. AcroSports serves over 2,500 children and adults each week in ongoing programs both onsite and offsite for students of all levels of experience and abilities.
