   About your Coaches..........

It has always been my passion to dance and open up my own dance studio. I have been dancing since the age of 3yrs old.  I began cheering at the age of 11yrs in what they called Junior High School in the 80’s. I was the choreographer and captain for three years. Later to go to high school and duplicated the same responsibilities and competed within the BIG 8 Division. I enjoyed cheering and dancing so much I decided to take it to the next level in college. I made it through the 3^rd cuts and cheered for the IOWA STATE CYCLONES for 2yrs in our football and basketball seasons.  It was an awesome experience and my technique and skills resulted from my double degree in modern dance and exercise physiology. Today, I have a mini “me”, her name is Kenzi and she has been cheering with the Chargers since the age of 5 under the direction of Coach Christie whom I have now experienced 4yrs. I watched as a parent for 2yrs and now in my second year assistant coaching with Coach Christie. Am I nuts? J  It is truly a commitment and a joy to coach, mentor, and lead by example to these young ladies. I am an advocate of success, a positive attitude, and empowerment and that is why I have committed myself to assist coach again this year with Coach Christie, she is truly dancing in her passion. Once I get my dance studio, I will be dancing in my passion and enjoying having the Charger Cheerleaders taking classes for strength and conditioning and practices; right Coach Christie? SUPERIOR GRAND CHAMPIONS 2009! GO CHARGERS!!!!

I I was born just outside of Boston, MA but moved here when I was a year old. I grew up in North Miami Beach. I took ballet, tap, and jazz for about 8 years. I love the stage. I cheered in elementary school. You know, the old stomp your feet and clap your hands cheering? A far cry from Coral Springs cheerleading! My daughter, Megan, has a passion for singing and acting. She loves soccer, cheer and gymnastics. She cheered for two years for the Coral Springs Flag Football Club and then moved to the Chargers Tackle Football Cheering. This is her 3^rd year with the Chargers and my 2^nd year as a coach for cheer. I have coached soccer for 4 years. I have three passions in life: My kids, mentoring/coaching, and education. I enjoy watching our youth learn and develop their capabilities. But more importantly, having fun! You got to have fun! Mentoring also helps me personally in developing my listening skills, patience, and effective communication. I have a Bachelors Degree in Pre-Law with a minor in Psychology. I received my masters, MBA, with a specialization in Leadership. I am currently working on my Doctorate in Higher Education. I have worked at Nova Southeastern University now for 10 years and again, enjoy mentoring the students and being a leader for my colleagues. I just love my job. It is truly a wonderful feeling to know that you can have a positive impact on a student’s life. You will see my handsome son, Colin, at the field. He loves baseball. He can throw and hit either right or left handed. My wonderful husband, Nolan, says he could be a switch hitter or pitcher. Nolan and I have another boy due in early December. The kids are ecstatic. As a hobby, Nolan and I play amateur pool in the Broward APA 8-ball pool league every Tuesday night. We have had our own team for about 15 years now. We are pretty good as we won the South Florida Regional finals in 1998 and went to Nationals in Las Vegas! The Coral Springs Charger Cheerleaders, coaching staff and administrative staff have worked hard for their wonderful reputation. It is an honor to coach these girls and be a part of the CSTFC. I admire their dedication and teamwork to the sport. What makes our girls special? Chargers know how to have fun while reaching for the stars- Superior Grand Champs!    

I cheered for the Coral Springs Chargers for 3 years. My first year on 105's we won superior then my 135's and Senior year we won Grand Champions and highest score of the day. I cheered for Sawgrass Springs Middle School for 2 years on the basketball and competition team. When I went off to high school, I cheered my freshman year for the varsity competition team. Now I am currently going into my junior year and going to be on the team for the second time. I've have been coaching the Chargers for 3 years and love it! Wishing for a great season!

I was on Coral Springs Chargers for 3 years, one superior title and two grand champions (both highest score of the day). I cheered for Sawgrass Springs Middle School Gators for two years basketball and competitive teams. This will be my third year coaching for Coral Springs Chargers. I am currently a Coral Glades Jaguar Cheerleader and I have been for two years on the football and competitive teams. I truly love coaching because Coral Springs Chargers only brought be my fondest memories and I want that to be pasted down for generations to come.

 

My name's Hayley Lewis.(: I've been a cheerleader for about five years. I cheered middle school and high school. I've been a part of the charger program for about three years. this will be my fourth. I cheered the unlimited team my eighth grade year and started coaching my freshman year in high school. I love coaching the little girls because I love being around little kids and giving them someone to look up to. I enjoy teaching these girls so they can learn new cheerleading techniques. (:
