Coach Eranda, affectionately known as Coach E, is the visionary behind American Flips Kids Gymnastics — a family-owned gym built on passion, discipline, and the dream of creating world-class athletes within a supportive community.

​

A former Junior Olympian, world-class gymnast, and National Team Captain of Sri Lanka, Coach E has proudly represented his country on international stages across Asia, Europe, and the United States. His decorated athletic career includes appearances at:

​

• Artistic Gymnastics World Championship – Ghent, Belgium (2001)

• World Championship – Anaheim, USA (2003)

• World Youth Olympics – Moscow, Russia (1998)

• Commonwealth Games – Melbourne, Australia (2006) — where he was selected for the Individual All-Around Finals

​

As a National Team member from 1997 to 2007, Coach E not only competed at the highest levels but also served as a mentor and role model to younger athletes. He led and developed multiple Junior National Champions and elite-level competitors who went on to represent their country on global stages.

 A World-Class Coaching Vision

​

With over 20 years of elite-level coaching experience, Coach E brings a global perspective to American Flips. His unique coaching philosophy blends the power and discipline of Eastern European training, the precision of Asian fundamentals, and the creativity of Western artistry. This dynamic fusion shapes not only exceptional gymnasts but also well-rounded individuals who carry confidence, discipline, and resilience beyond the gym floor. His methods are hands-on, engaging, challenging, and deeply motivating, ensuring every child feels supported while being pushed to reach their full potential.

A Dream Built from Passion and Purpose

​

American Flips Kids Gymnastics is more than a program — it is Coach E’s lifelong dream come true. Built alongside his family, the gym embodies his belief that gymnastics is not just a sport but a foundation for life. Through gymnastics, children learn focus, perseverance, respect, leadership, and pride.

 

Every class, routine, and milestone at American Flips carries his signature teaching style — rooted in discipline, joy, and community. His goal is to inspire every child who walks through the doors to “Stretch Your Limits,” grow with confidence, and take pride in representing the American Flips spirit.

Legacy of Excellence

​

Today, Coach E stands as one of the few coaches who have successfully bridged international elite gymnastics experience with grassroots athlete development in the U.S. His legacy continues through every gymnast he mentors — from preschoolers taking their first steps on the mat to competitive athletes rising through the ranks. He remains deeply grateful and honored to be part of each child’s journey and proud to watch them flourish as strong, confident, and kind individuals — the true definition of American Flips Pride.
