Hi, I am Coach Aly and I am the Director of Central Coast Elite. This is my 6th season working with CCE and I absolutely love working with this group of athletes. I mainly coach the Sapphires Team, but I help out with all aspects of CCE. I also coach the highest levels of cheer tumbling for all of our cheer squads. I have been tumbling since I was 12, so for a long time. I was a competitive cheerleader for 5 years where I traveled all over to compete. We went to Florida for our COA and UCA Nationals where we regularly placed highly including top 3 and 1st place. When you place top 3, they show you on ESPN, which happened to us! We were also on the Ellen Degeners show where we got to help her welcome her guests and perform for her. I have coached many first place teams, as well as choreographed for the Rubies the past few years. I am excited for this season and wish all of our teams the best of luck. We have such a great group of talented individuals that I know can be very successful! Let’s go CCE! |

Hey everyone! I'm Coach Kelsey! I'm the head coach of our Rubies Mini Level 1 Team. I trained in gymnastics and dance when I was younger, and then started my cheerleading career in high school, where I cheered for football and basketball as well as on my school's competitive cheerleading squad. We traveled all over California competeting, and we placed in the top 10 at Nationals in Anaheim my senior year! My coach placed a huge emphasis on stunting, which is one of my favorite aspects of cheer, as well as teamwork, which I believe is essential to a succesful team!! In my three years of coaching cheer and gymnastics, I have been lucky enough to experience coaching All-Star cheer & tumbling as well as high school cheer. This is my second season with CCE, and I'm so excited to be a part of this team! We have a great group of girls, and I'm thrilled to work with each and every one of them, they are all so talented and I can't wait to see what the competition season brings us! |

Hi, I'm Nicole and I'm the Rubies assistant coach. I have been dancing for about 8 years. I started at a young age and continued to dance through high school. I have experience in Jazz, ballet, tap, hip-hop and even Irish dance! I also competed in all those forms of dance. In high shcool, I was on the dance team and was even the caption! My senior year of high school, I decided to cheer and I've loved it ever since! I also had the honor of being apart of my high schools competitive squad. During our season, we took 1st many times and even became National Champions! I'm thrilled to be coaching this year and have so much faith in our girls! Go CCE!!! |
