Camp Starlight’s new Gymnastics Head Victor Randazzo has been coaching for more than 35 years although this is his first year at camp. When we caught up with him to find out more about him as well as his goals for the Camp Starlight Gymnastics program, he was exuberant about Camp Starlight’s performance in the recent annual Camp Starlight Gymnastics Invitation.
Victor hails from Long Island, though he currently calls Las Vegas home and was educated at the University of New Mexico and Southern Connecticut State University. He chose to become a gymnastics coach in order to promote gymnastics. He enjoys teaching people amazing skills and says he was drawn to camp because it seemed fun. As for how he found Camp Starlight, he says “we chose each other.”
In addition to his coaching history, Victor’s resume is deep. He was a 2 time National Champion and a 3 time member of the All American National Championship team. His favorite thing about Camp Starlight, so far, is SWF, which he thought was “amazing.” During the winter, he likes to travel and hike. He has also visited all 48 of the lower 48 states and—something many Starlighters don’t know about him—loves both cooking and baking.
