OT Introduce Yourself!

[CheerCoach84]

I started coaching in 1984, right out of HS, coaching youth league and HS jh teams, moved into All Stars in 1997, where I coached in NJ, PA, NC, where I was at for 14 years, my heart was always there for sure I came back home to Ohio, 8 years ago, to care fir my ailing father, who passed away 2 years later, where since I wasn't coaching. Went back to coaching HS cheer, where I started in 84.... I taught camps with Americheer, ECA, Cheersport, and the company, where I feel I really got my start, Cheer LTD, taught camps with them, choreographed, coaches conferences and what not for 10 years 96-06, some of the best times of my life, which allowed me to meet and work for the teams/gyms in PA, NJ, and mostly, NC I have judged for many National companies from 96 until 2018, want to get back into that as well.... I haven't been on here in about a year, I always try to get on here for WORLDS, major Nationals, etc.... I just miss All Star Cheerleading️️

Hi! My name is Marcie and I am 62 years old. I can kick … I can strrretch … and I can Kick! I live in Jacksonville, FL by way of the Indianapolis, IN area.

I cheered in high school. One year wasn’t enough, but it’s all that I got. I spent years watching UCA and NCA competitions, growing in awe of evolving skills (and safety rules!) year after year. I spent a great deal of time earning certifications and landed an opportunity to coach a 6th grade squad. I was in love with this sport all over again! The school closed leaving me on the outside looking in again. When it finally dawned on me that I should try being a competition judge, I worked in earning that certification, too. It was fun for five years, but with my health declining, I couldn’t keep up with changes, and especially couldn’t keep up with the lightning speed that’s required of judges. So at that, I went into a retirement I didn’t want, but it was necessary. And besides, the event producers don’t want/need judges who can’t keep up. I totally understand that.

Now having typed all of that, I occasionally check in here to see what’s up and if I feel I can contribute experience or advice as a coach, judge, or CheerMom (I was one, too!), I’ll chime in.

Peace, y’all. Cheers!
