Meet Our Founder
The
Vision
Behind
Sparta Gymnastic
Sparta Gymnastics was founded with one clear purpose: to combine world-class gymnastics coaching with a family-first culture that builds confident, capable children — on and off the gym floor.
Led by Founder and Head Coach Serge Sharapayeu, Sparta’s identity is shaped by international expertise and a passion for developing young athletes through movement. Originally from Belarus, Serge competed at the elite level as part of his national acrobatic team, holds a Sports Science and Injury Recovery degree, and performed internationally as a professional acrobat.
Since moving to Australia over a decade ago, Serge has brought FIG-accredited coaching and judging experience to the local gymnastics community. He has represented Australia as a judge at major world events, earned Coach of the Year titles in Queensland and Victoria, and guided athletes to national and international podium success.
Serge founded Sparta to give families access to FIG-standard training, a clear athlete development pathway, and a safe, disciplined environment where every child can thrive. Our purpose-built facility, qualified coaches, and commitment to ongoing education set the foundation for Sparta’s trusted reputation.
At Sparta, discipline meets character development. We teach respect, teamwork, goal-setting, and resilience alongside technical skills, helping children grow in sport, school, and life.
From KinderGym to elite Acrobatics, our programs nurture progress at every level. Small class sizes, personalised development plans, and quarterly coach training ensure consistent, high-quality results.
Today, Sparta Gymnastics is recognised for its elite coaching, inclusive community, and family-focused environment — a place where every child can grow, achieve, and love sport for life.
