Hello! My name is Danielle; Office Manager stationed at our Sacramento location. My first introduction into the cheer and dance world was through my daughter who has cheered for 10 years+. I have a background in working with several non-profit organizations and greater Sacramento area school districts as a program coordinator. I have experience facilitating workshops centered around healthy eating and physical activity as well as coordinating health fairs with partner organizations. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in nutrition and food and hold a Master of Public Health degree.

I stumbled on this administrative position and was so happy that I interviewed! I am not sure how to express how much of a blessing it is to see athletes come in not feeling super sure about what they are getting themselves into or if they will fit in or have what it takes only to end the season with so much confidence. I am super thankful to be able to have front-row tickets to their amazing transformation. Since coming into this position, the staff has worked to improve the atmosphere and culture in our gym by ensuring there is always transparency with parents. I pride myself on delivering quality service and communication with the hopes of your experience being one of a kind. Thank you for trusting COA as your premiere cheer and dance gym!

Hello! I’m Coach Gabie. I was a competitive gymnast for 8 years then moved on to cheering competitively for 7 years. Ever since I started cheer, I fell in love with the sport. My goal is to develop athletes skills, work on the importance of teamwork, build confidence, and promote a positive and safe environment for your athletes.

Hi! I’m Coach Nailah (Nai), and I’m so excited to be part of COA Vacaville! I have participated in cheerleading for over 11 years. I spent 9 years doing All Star cheer and 2 years on the sidelines, but competitive cheer has always been my favorite.

I’ve cheered on Levels 1 through 6 as a back spot, and one of my proudest moments was winning a half-paid bid to The Cheerleading Worlds in 2022. Even though my team didn’t end up going, it was an unforgettable experience!

Before coaching cheer, I coached gymnastics for 3 years and was the go-to coach for the recreational cheerleading classes at my gym. I’ve always had a passion for both cheer and working with kids, and now I finally get to do both!

I can’t wait to help our athletes grow, have fun, and build something amazing here at COA Vacaville!

I have cheered for 12 years in youth, high school and college. I have also done STUNT for two years. I have been a junior coach and coach assistant for youth teams and level one all star teams. I was a JAMZ kid and won JAMZ nationals. I made it full circle and am part of JAMZ staff going into my 5th year. Besides cheerleading, I love to catch flights and travel. I also have my bachelors degree and two masters degrees in education and behaviors.

I have been cheerleading for 13 years and throughout that time I have grown both as an athlete and as a leader. One of the highlights of my cheer career was cheering with California All Stars, where I had the honor of winning an NCA national title.

Alongside my own cheer journey, I have junior coached for 3 years. During this time, I have been able to share my knowledge with athletes while building positive bonds that go beyond the mat. Coaching has given me the opportunity to encourage growth, confidence, and teamwork, which are values I hope to instill in every athlete I work with.

Cheer has been such an important part of my life and I am passionate about giving back to the sport by helping athletes succeed, find joy in their progress, and continue to love cheer as much as I do.
