2023 Recreational Coach of the Year

Vanessa Perez- Tahoma Jr. Bears 

​

This Coach is the most hardworking, disciplined, and dedicated coach I have ever met. She deserves this award because of all of the hours she has put into this non-paying job and always strives to give us the best of the best. She has amazing choreography and has a reputation of winning back-to-back competitions. I truly think that she deserves this award.

She has blown me away with her knowledge, ability to teach high level skills to young athletes and continued dedication to her team year after year!. My daughter is on her team, and I am in awe of how quickly she has learned skills and then performs and executes them at a competition the same week! This is an example of how talented Vanessa is. She knows how to explain and teach skills properly. She is patient and kind and makes everyone on her team feel valued and apart of the team. She makes cheerleading fun and doesn't burn them out which can easily happen at a young age. She is more than deserving of Rec Coach of the Year

2023 Recreational Assistant Coach of the Year

Deanna Schild - Federal Way Hawks

​

This Coach is so wonderful with the girls. Many of us are low income or come from one income families and it can be difficult to purchase certain things for the girls.

She goes out of her way to make sure our girls don’t feel any less than other teams. She dedicates her time to hand make so many items, customize the girls bows and make them look like a million bucks. She also customized herself the girls socks!!!

All that plus during practice she has so much patience. It amazes me how well she knows the girls and just knows how to teach every girl in a way they find it fun . My 7 year old has found a passion and I am forever grateful to the coaches.

This Coach gives her all to her team(s). She choreographs the routines. She wants the cheerleaders to do the best they can and never give up! The team loves her!
