mark morphew
MAGA Program Director & Head Coach
My name is Mark Morphew and I have been coaching gymnastics since 2005. I started out in Worthington Minnesota coaching community education classes along with MAGA teams and the High School team. Since then I haven't stopped. I spent several years in Mankato coaching at both MAGS and K&G Gymnastics all the while coaching Mankato West High School. I have been lucky enough since that time to be coaching full time at New Prague and now at NGC. My coaching philosophy is athlete first. I believe in transformative not transactional coaching and do whatever I can to advocate for my athletes in and out of the gym. I love watching my athletes grow as people and hope I can contribute to their overall wellbeing and success in life!
Krystal wallerich
Northfield Gymanstics Club Director
I have been coaching gymnastics for over 10 years, been a director for 6 and a judge for 5. I am a Women’s Meet Director, Red Cross Instructor and have an associate’s degree in EMS. My coaching philosophy is to develop community citizens that are positive, responsible, and able to work in a team environment to complete goals. By instilling a work ethic that allows them to be successful in sports, school and their communities. I truly believe in coaching athletes “beyond the backflip” and helping them to realize their potential both in and out of the gym. I look forward to meeting all of you and encourage you to say hi if we run into each other at the gym!
