~ "My daughter’s cheer coach gave so very much of herself to this squad this year.  She did everything possible to try to accommodate as many people as she could.  Her communication with the parents was just awesome, and her bubbly personality shows how much she loves this sport and ’her girls’!  She is an amazing person!"

~ "Our coach is well organized and very dedicated to cheerleading.  She really wants us to do well!"

~ "Our coach taught us many new cheers.  Then we would practice and practice until it was right.  I love cheering at the football games.  I have met many new friends.  My coaches are very patient."

~ "My coaches are very dedicated and have motivated us to want to get better.  They are both very nice and are willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.  They make it fun for us."

~ "As 1st year coaches, they did a great job.  Half of our squad are 1st year cheerleaders and they taught us many cheers and moves and made us look like a real cheer squad.  They were very well organized and had fun with us.  We look really good for 2nd and 3rd graders!"

~ "My coaches have been supportive and helpful and they have encouraged us.  They work with us to help us learn new cheers!"

~ "I have learned a lot more about cheerleading than I ever knew!  I had such a fun time...it was great!  I think our coaches deserve the coach of the year award!"

~ "My coach is nice, respectful, caring and a good person."

~ "Our coaches come to practice each day with a smile and positive encouragement for all of the girls.  They teach us new cheers and stunts each day, and don’t get frustrated when it takes us time to learn them.  They let everyone participate in cheers, stunts and being captain.  Most of all it is fun!"

~ "Our coaches have done more than expected!  They have gone above and beyond their duties!"

~ "Our coaches are nice and responsible, they rock!  They care about our safety and really want us to look good!"

~ "My coaches taught me well.  They respected me, accepted a cheer I made and planned to use it.  They were nice to me even though some of the cheers were hard for me - they still helped me to learn and made it lots of fun."

~ "Our coaches have been the best coaches I’ve ever had for any sport!"

~ "Our coaches are really nice.  They don’t allow any distractions or problems that would prevent us from working together as a team, or developing as individuals.  Practices and games are not only well-organized but fun.  They enable us to practice physical fitness and good sportsmanship and it is meant to be!"

~ "My coach is super nice, really good at coaching and says ’good job’ a lot!"

~ "I am a beginner and my coaches had me catch up in the first few weeks."

~ Our coaches enthusiam for coaching differently shows in the way they work with the girls.  My daughter enjoys the practices and the games, and what her coaches have taught her.  She wasn’t sure if she even wanted to cheer this year and now she is already looking forward to next year, of course, with the same coaches!"

~ "Our coaches were wonderful.  This was my daughter’s first year cheerleading and they immediately made us feel like a part of the team.  Things were well organized and communication was a strong point.  Both coaches are knowledgable and caring.  I definitely feel they embody the spirit of CYA cheerleading and should be recognized for this."
