Two-time NCAA National Champion at the University of Massachusetts — including a perfect 10.000 on floor, still the school record — a U.S. National Team member, and a former International Brevet judge. Over her coaching career she has guided more than 75 gymnasts to full athletic scholarships. She opened Infiniti Elite in the summer of 2016 and is on the floor with athletes at every level, from first cartwheels to college recruits.

Owner & Head Coach — Infiniti Elite Gymnastics
Tammy Marshall
Two-time NCAA National Champion · Perfect 10.000 · U.S. National Team member · International Brevet judge · 75+ full athletic scholarships
Elite experience. Elite eye. Elite results.
There are gymnastics coaches who have studied the sport. There are coaches who have competed in the sport. And then there are coaches who have won at the highest level, judged at the highest level, and spent decades developing athletes toward the highest level.
Tammy Marshall is that coach. As Owner and Head Coach of Infiniti Elite Gymnastics, Tammy brings an exceptionally rare combination of elite competitive experience, judging expertise, technical knowledge, and athlete development to every gymnast she coaches.
Her résumé is not simply impressive. It is the reason she knows what excellence actually looks like.
Two-time NCAA National Champion
Tammy Marshall made history at the University of Massachusetts. She remains the only student-athlete in UMass history to win an NCAA individual championship in any sport — and she did it twice.
1992 NCAA National Champion, Vault — 9.8125. 1993 NCAA National Champion, Floor Exercise — 10.000.
Yes. A perfect 10.000. Tammy is one of only two gymnasts in UMass history ever to receive a perfect 10 in any event, and her 10.000 remains the UMass school record on floor exercise. She wasn't simply an NCAA champion. She was a perfect-10 NCAA champion.
A career built on championships
Her NCAA regional championships came on vault, floor exercise, and all-around — an indication of the breadth of her technical ability rather than specialization in a single event. And after college, Tammy continued representing the United States internationally, earning a silver medal on floor exercise at the 1993 World University Games.
- 2× NCAA Individual National Champion
- 1992 NCAA Vault Champion
- 1993 NCAA Floor Exercise Champion — 10.000
- 3× NCAA Northeast Regional Champion
- 5× Atlantic 10 Champion
- All-Atlantic 10 all four collegiate seasons
- 1993 World University Games Silver Medalist — Floor Exercise
- GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-American
- Atlantic 10 Outstanding Freshman Gymnast
- Atlantic 10 Outstanding Senior Gymnast
- Atlantic 10 Female Student-Athlete of the Year
- 2003 UMass Athletics Hall of Fame Inductee
Before the college championships
The championship story didn't begin at UMass. Tammy developed as an elite athlete long before college and ultimately became a member of the U.S. National Team.
She then took that elite competitive perspective and turned it into something even more valuable: the ability to develop other athletes. Because being able to perform an elite skill is one thing. Knowing how to teach someone else to perform it is an entirely different level of expertise.
From champion to coach
Today, Tammy's focus is not on her own medals. It is on the athletes standing in front of her. Over the course of her coaching career, Tammy has guided and coached more than 75 gymnasts to full athletic scholarships.
More than 75 athletes. Full athletic scholarships. One coaching philosophy: develop the athlete correctly. Build the foundation. Master the details. Progress intelligently. And prepare the gymnast not merely to learn skills — but to perform them when the pressure is real.
That is what decades of experience look like when they are translated into coaching.
The judge's eye
Tammy is also a former International Brevet judge. That matters. Because an elite coach needs to understand more than whether an athlete can complete a skill. They need to understand what makes the skill excellent.
Body position. Amplitude. Line. Form. Technique. Timing. Execution. Connection. Landing. Presentation. And the small technical details that separate a skill that is technically completed from a skill that is beautifully performed.
Having competed at the highest levels and judged elite gymnastics internationally, Tammy has experienced the sport from both sides of the score. She knows what the athlete feels. She knows what the judge sees. And she knows how to bridge the two.
Why progressions matter
Anyone can teach an athlete to attempt a difficult skill. Elite coaching is knowing how to get the athlete ready for it. At Infiniti Elite, skills are developed through purposeful progressions designed around the athlete's current ability, technical foundation, strength, body awareness, timing, and readiness.
That means: prerequisites before progression. Technique before repetition. Control before complexity. Preparation before risk.
And when a skill is being spotted, the spot is not an afterthought. It is deliberate. It is technical. It is purposeful.
- Where the athlete's body should be.
- What the athlete should feel.
- What the athlete should do.
- What the coach needs to control.
- When the athlete is ready for less assistance.
- And when the athlete is not ready.
A rare combination of perspectives
Tammy has been the athlete. The competitor. The NCAA champion. The perfect-10 gymnast. The National Team member. The international judge. The coach. The mentor.
And now, for generations of gymnasts, she is the person standing beside them while they attempt to accomplish what once seemed impossible. That perspective is extraordinarily rare. Most coaches have expertise in one or two parts of that equation. Tammy has lived across the entire spectrum.
The goal is bigger than a skill
At Infiniti Elite, the goal isn't simply to teach more difficult gymnastics. The goal is to develop complete athletes. Athletes who understand preparation. Athletes who understand discipline. Athletes who understand that beautiful gymnastics is built through thousands of technically correct repetitions. Athletes who learn to trust the process. Athletes who understand that shortcuts don't create elite gymnasts. Details do.
75+ scholarships are not an accident. Neither are championships. Neither is a perfect 10. Neither is knowing exactly when an athlete is ready for the next progression. Those outcomes come from experience. From pattern recognition. From technical knowledge. From patience. From knowing what to fix. From knowing what not to change. From knowing when to push. From knowing when to wait. And from understanding that every gymnast is an individual — not a copy of the athlete who came before her.
The Infiniti standard
At Infiniti Elite Gymnastics, we don't believe elite gymnastics should be rushed. We believe it should be built. With exceptional fundamentals. With intelligent progressions. With precise technique. With appropriate spotting. With high standards. With relentless attention to detail. And with coaching from someone who has spent a lifetime learning exactly what separates good gymnastics from extraordinary gymnastics.
Two NCAA national championships. A perfect 10.000. U.S. National Team experience. International judging experience. 75+ full athletic scholarship athletes. And decades of developing gymnasts.
You don't have to care about the résumé. But you should care about what that résumé means when your child is learning a skill. Because when the person teaching the skill has spent a lifetime on the other side of the competition floor, the details are different. The progressions are different. The expectations are different. The eye is different. And the standard is different.
Owner. Coach. Champion. Judge. Mentor. Developing the next generation of elite gymnasts.

Alexis Longo
Coach
Alexis competed from the age of seven, won the 2001 USAG New York State title at Level 6, and finished her career as a Level 9 gymnast after a back injury. She couldn't leave the sport — she coached Levels 4–7 through high school and college, and in 2009 led her Level 6 team to a New York State championship with three first-place all-arounds and a runner-up. She wants the best for every gymnast in her group and makes them feel like champions whether or not a medal is involved. Her favorite sound is her own daughter asking, "Mommy, do I have gymnastics today?" — that excitement to see coaches and teammates who become family is exactly the goal.
Charlie Schwartz
Coach
A core member of the Infiniti Elite coaching staff, working across recreational classes and the competitive program, and a steady presence on the floor for families who have been with the gym for years. Charlie specializes in floor and vault — the two events where power, timing, and fearlessness have to arrive at the same moment. Alongside Tammy, he has helped more than 40 gymnasts earn college scholarships. Bottom line: if you want a coach who will push your kid to get better and be better — as an athlete and as a human — this is the coach you want.
Erin Nicholson
Coach
A former gymnast turned coach, Erin brings over 20 years of coaching experience and a deep passion for the sport. She has coached multiple individual and team champions, guiding athletes from the compulsory levels through the early optionals. Erin believes in building strong fundamentals in a positive, fun environment — and she loves helping gymnasts grow their confidence, reach their potential, and celebrate the little victories along the way.
Ila Lansky
Coach
Ila started gymnastics at five and went on to compete as a USAG Level 10, qualifying to Level 10 Nationals and earning a full athletic scholarship to Northern Illinois University. In high school she was a four-time consecutive Nassau County Champion and a member of the Nassau County State Team. Before joining Infiniti Elite she coached Levels 2–4 and served as Head Coach of the Level 2 team. A former teammate of Tammy Marshall, Ila is also certified to judge USAG Levels 2–9, Xcel, and high school gymnastics — a judge's eye for technique, routine construction, and scoring that she brings straight onto the floor with her athletes.
Kailey Abbott
Coach
A four-year Hofstra University cheerleader and two-time national champion, Kailey brings elite tumbling and performance experience to the floor. She is a key member of the Infiniti Elite team — the coach who will always be there, class after class, for the kids who count on seeing a familiar face.
