PASSIONATE ABOUT CHEER

Coach Sara is not only a great coach, but an amazing human being. She is passionate about cheerleading, and it shows in the work she does with the girls. Her experience and knowledge have helped my daughter grow and become a better cheerleader. She is patient and always willing to give the girls the opportunity to become better even if it means allowing them to fail to build character and become stronger.

She is not only a coach, but a mentor and a role model to many children including my own. She motivates, guides, and inspires them to be the best they can be.

SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT

I have been around cheerleading for the past 23 years. All three of my daughters have cheered, and I have coached for 3 years and currently coach high school cheer. Two of my girls cheered through high school, and the youngest just had the privilege of being on Coach Sara’s team this past season. I have never seen a more passionate and dedicated coach in all my years being around cheer. She truly loves what’s she does, and every one of her cheerleaders and coaches. Because of Coach Sara, and the rest of the coaches, I want my youngest daughter to continue cheering for Coach Sara and Patriot Cheer Academy.

TUMBLING & CHEER BACKGROUND

Coach Sara is truly a one of a kind coach. With her cheering and tumbling background she is for sure to help your cheerleader grow. She has helped and loved my daughter in so many ways. You aren’t signing up for a competitive cheering, you’re signing up to be a part of a family and to watch your kiddos grow!

CHAMPIONS INDIVIDUAL PROGRESS

Coach Sara is awesome! She cares about the girls and champions their individual progress, not just team success and trophies. She is very dedicated to her program and teams. She looks for feedback from parents because she wants to know what's working or not working for families in regards to a cheer program as a whole, and is willing to make adjustments or get creative to come up with new ideas.

I believe Coach Sara is one of the reasons my daughter has not only stayed engaged with cheer as her sport of choice, but is striving to get stronger and develop additional skills.
