“We are excited to welcome Amanda to the trampoline & tumbling program,” USA Gymnastics Chief Programs Officer Stefanie Korepin said. “Her extensive experience working with all facets of sport management, from working with coaches and athletes to managing travel and events, makes her well qualified for this wide-ranging role.”
As the T&T program director, Casale’s duties will include managing the administration and operations of the trampoline & tumbling program, managing staff related to the program and National Team, ensuring implementation of selection procedures for major international competitions, and overseeing all grassroots activities within the program, including the T&T Development Program.
“I’m so excited to bring experience from the basketball space into the gymnastics world,” said Casale. “It is both a thrill and an honor to work with the trampoline & tumbling community on all levels, and to build upon the phenomenally strong base that is already in place. I am excited and eager to get started.”
