My coaching philosophy centers around my strong belief that our success originates from the dedication and commitment of our athletes and their parents. My goal is to develop the best squad possible, as well as instill qualities and values that will last a lifetime. Cheerleading is a great way for them to learn how to work with others toward a common goal, perseverance, and commitment, and that hard work pays off!

I will always give my best to this team, and I expect the same in return. This will be my 24th year coaching this PCA Competitive Cheer, and this team will always have a special place in my heart. PCA Comp Cheer made me love cheerleading again, at a time many years ago when I contemplated leaving the sport I had loved my whole life. After coaching at PCA, my love for the sport came back.

The girls I have had the honor of coaching all of these years keep in touch with me, they come back to practices on the breaks from college and they love Comp Cheer as much as I do! Comp Cheer is truly a family, and unless you have been a part of it, it’s hard to describe and understand!

As I say every year, team practices are for working on team skills, not individual skills. Each year the one thing in common that the people who are getting new skills have is that they are either competing on all-star teams, attending extra classes, or taking privates outside of their PCA practice time. So I do recommend doing extra tumbling, privates, or open gym. I am happy to provide you with information on classes, and open gyms and recommend coaches for privates if you would like. I do privates at PCA over the summer as well. If you are picked as a new flyer you may be required to take extra stunt classes/privates.

I will have a tumbling coach to help me spot on Wednesdays through Sept. I pay him out of what you pay me. He will work with us until we have a routine and then again closer to nationals, if we need him. This is mainly to keep skills not to get new skills, since it is hard to do with the little equipment we have at PCA.

A few things to keep in mind: 

Summer tuition will not be prorated if you are gone, so you need to be at practice. Practices are mandatory until school is out, and if you are not out of town during the summer. 

The reason for this is the sooner the stunt groups are set up, the sooner we can start our competition routine, and everyone has to be at practice to set up stunt groups. 

PLEASE NOTE: EVERYONE MUST ATTEND BOTH AUGUST CAMPS, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Missing Practices - If you are going to be absent due to illness, I need you to text me before practice starts. This is the girl's job, not the parents! Commitment is a big part of a successful team and I want girls that want to be here!

I look forward to working with your daughter during tryouts. I pray that she will enjoy her time, learn new skills, and begin her journey of loving this team and this sport as I do!
