My Project

This year, I'm coaching our community’s youth cheerleading. Program. In order to save parents this time and money and to better increase our tumbling skills, hopefully putting our squads on the same level as the teams we compete against who have had tumbling lessons for over a decade.

Our girls have been at a huge disadvantage in the area of tumbling compared to the other squads against which we compete, but not any longer!

Now with the right gymnastics equipment, these girls and other kids in our community can learn the essential tumbling skills to compete in cheer.
