Gymnastics Program Director
My name is Kayla Romstadt and I am the owner and program director for Volusia Mobile Athletics. I am a Florida native from Port St. Lucie and a proud cat mom of 2! As a former gymnast and cheerleader, I knew one day I'd like to share my love of the sport with the next generation. As gymnastics is not the typical afterschool curriculum, I knew creating a mobile program, where every family could get involved, would be a rewarding addition to our elementary community. Gymnastics teaches confidence, persistence, and challenges our little ones to think outside the box, both on and off the mat. As we continue to see increases in technology, I want to continue to encourage our students to find joy and fun while moving their bodies. A little reminder that exercise is crucial to growing up healthy and strong!
During my time in college, I earned my Associate’s Degree in Business Administration from Indian River State College and my Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology from the University of Central Florida. I have also become a nationally recognized registered coach, allowing me to continue growing my knowledge and experience while doing what I love. Charge on!
Thank you for trusting me with your tiny humans and I look forward to servicing your family soon!
Flag Football Coach
My name is Dionisio Alvelo, and I was born and raised right here in the beautiful Sunshine State of Florida. Growing up, sports were a huge part of my life. From elementary school through my senior year of high school, I was always involved in athletics, with football being my greatest passion.
Football taught me far more than just how to play the game. It instilled discipline, teamwork, resilience, accountability, and the ability to perform under pressure—lessons that have stayed with me throughout my life.
Through my partnership with V.Y.A, I have the opportunity to pass that same passion and experience on to the next generation. Our goal is to provide a positive, encouraging environment where every athlete can build confidence while learning the fundamentals of flag football.
Throughout this program, your child will develop essential football skills, including throwing, catching, footwork, ball security, reaction time, agility, and balance. More importantly, we believe the lessons learned through sports extend well beyond the field. We strive to help our athletes become respectful, responsible, and confident individuals by emphasizing discipline, accountability, teamwork, time management, leadership, and treating others with kindness and respect—skills that will benefit them both in the classroom and in everyday life.
While competition is an exciting part of sports, our top priority is making sure every child has fun, feels included, and develops a love for the game.
We look forward to welcoming your family and making a positive impact both on and off the field!
