  • Coach Alice - Cheer Coach

    I have been part of sparks since 2013.  I have competed level 1, 2 and 4 over the years.  I coach Glitter, shooting stars and storm, along with Tumble Fridays and Private tumble coaching


    I got into coaching as I was doing my Duke of Edinburgh and I asked to help coach the minis as part of my volunteering section and I just completely fell in love with coaching! I was already in love with cheer myself but the feeling when you teach someone something new and knowing that I can help develop skills and confidence within cheer makes it all worth it


    Being a part of sparks since I was 14 has helped mould me into the person I am today and I couldn’t imagine a life without being a Sparks Allstars Coach and athlete

  • Coach Emma - Pom Coach

    I’ve been with Sparks since 2012 and I’ve been cheering since 2007 - so 13 years now! I fell in love with cheer watching Bring it on! And as an ex gymnast and dancer it was an amazing fit


    I started Pom dance at uni and my love for the style carried over to Sparks. I joined Blaze in 2013 and took over as coach in 2017. I love leading such a sassy group of ladies and we’ve had some great comp results including taking the BCA Nationals title , doing a 3 peat at Legacy and winning Pom Grand Champs and competing in the FC nationals worlds round.   I can’t wait for the next amazing season with Sparks and to see what this great team can achieve

  • Coach TC - Cheer Coach

    I started cheerleading as a Herts Siren in 2010 and fell in love with this sport instantly.   I had been a lifelong dancer, but cheerleading took everything I knew to another level (literally).   I had the pleasure of being coached by a Sparks cheerleader at university, so I knew I would be headed to this programme as soon as I graduated in 2014 and I haven't looked back since!


    Within a few years of being part of the Sparks family, I had competed on every adult team from levels 1-4, pom, jazz and hip-hop.   And I love the continued challenge of stepping up to levels 5 and 6 over the past couple of years.


    Every athlete is valued when you're on a Sparks team - and I couldn't think of anywhere else to put my trust and faith.   I'm looking forward to seeing the Sparks family continue to grow and thrive as both a coach and athlete for many years to come.
