Hello! My name is Coach Niskanen and I am excited to begin my second year as one of the middle school cheer coaches! With over 25 years of experience teaching students at all grade levels, I love creating a positive, supportive environment where every student can grow. I also have a background in dance, including classically trained ballet and performing as a dancer at Disney, which has given me a strong appreciation for performance, teamwork, and the excitement of being on stage.
As a coach, I believe cheerleading is about much more than learning routines. Building confidence, cooperation, teamwork, and respect are important parts of helping students grow both on and off the mat. Most importantly, I want our team to have fun, make great memories, support one another, and enjoy being part of something special together. I’m looking forward to another exciting year with our cheerleaders!
