With the STY Cup, we also hope to inspire more Filipinos, especially young girls, to pursue sports and lead healthy lifestyles,” Coach Boots further shared.

Coach Boots established PGAA STY Gymnastics Center in 2008 with the dream to develop elite Filipino athletes who would compete with the world’s best and make their country and community proud.
