Kaprece Nadonza was announced as a new coaching assistant on November 20, 2024.
The 2025 season was the first season as a member of the Big 12 Conference for Arizona State, and Nadonza helped put together a solid season after losing half of the starting lineups from 2024. The Sun Devils qualified for NCAA Regionals for the last eight seasons in a row, this season going to the Washington Regional and placing fourth in the first session of the second round. The Sun Devils, who ended the season at No. 27 on Road to Nationals, ended the regular season with a 196.310 National Qualifying Score (NQS), the eighth season in a row with an NQS over 196.000. There were six scores over 196.000 this season, including a season-best 196.800 at Cal Quad 1 on March 14.
Most recently, Nadonza coached at Gymnastics Olympica from 2021-24, where she coached all ages and oversaw the selection of music composition, choreography, and routine construction.
She attended San Jose State and was a gymnast there from 2015-2019, receiving a bachelor's in philosophy. At San Jose State, she was a key component of the gymnastics team, specializing in the vault and bars and helping lead the Spartans to back-to-back MPSF titles. Following graduation from SJSU, Nadonza worked at the UCLA gymnastics camp from 2016-24 as an assistant coach for up-and-coming gymnasts in southern California. During this time, she worked at Waller's Gym Jam Academy, gaining insight into the nuances of becoming a coach.
The Nadonza family has previous ties to the program. Her sister Kaelynn Nadonza was a student manager for the gymnastics program for four years, graduating in 2022 with a bachelor's in science. Originally from Lancaster, California, Kaprece Nadonza has two younger sisters.
