Kelly Chapins is an incredible coach whose dedication to her athletes and love for the sport are evident in everything she does. She has a special ability to balance care, toughness, and encouragement, helping her gymnasts grow not only as athletes, but as confident young people.
Her passion for coaching goes far beyond the gym. She is always thinking of new ideas, new drills, and new ways to help her athletes succeed. She is the kind of coach who never stops caring and never stops working to make her program better.
Kelly is always ready to step in wherever she is needed, bringing energy, leadership, and positivity that lifts everyone around her. Her athletes adore her, parents trust her, and her fellow coaches know they can always count on her.
It is with great honor to have New Jersey USA Gymnastics present Kelly Chapins the DP Compulsory Coach of the year award for the 2026 season.
