About your Coaches..........

Coach Christie:

I grew up in Miramar, Florida (yes a Native) and I began my love for cheerleading when I was about 9 years old. I cheered 6 years for the organization called South West Broward Junior Athletic Association (SWBJAA); way way back in the day when cheerleaders wore saddle shoes and those hot sweater vests—ooohh the days. When I was 15, I coached for the same organization for two years. I also cheered for my High School during my junior and senior year. You will see my wonderful husband Andy running around the field after my son Ryan and if you do not already know my daughter Alexa (Lexi) she will be asking to spend the night at your house soon. Forget about great schools and the great area, we moved to Coral Springs in 2000 so that when Alexa turned 6 she could be a Springs Cheerleader. Sick but true—well in my mind anyway. Professionally ---My other job, the one I actually get paid doing is as a Nursing Supervisor at Coral Springs Medical Center. I work night shift, part time so I can do what I love doing the most. It was a long road to finally get there but it was well worth the wait. Besides my family ,I have what I call my wall of glory which currently holds 5 things that are also very dear to me : 1 nursing degree and 4 CSTFC Coaching plaques. I say this with deep sincerity because you have to experience it to understand what they mean. I hope to add more each year. I look forward to coaching your precious ones and I can only hope that each and every one of them comes from this experience a little more knowledgeable, responsible and above all the best that she can be. I strive for hard work, dedication and teamwork – when all three add up it equals success and to me - success means SUPERIOR.

Coach Rae

I I was born just outside of Boston, MA but moved here when I was a year old. I grew up in North Miami Beach. I took ballet, tap, and jazz for about 8 years. I love the stage. I cheered in elementary school. You know, the old stomp your feet and clap your hands cheering? A far cry from Coral Springs cheerleading! My daughter, Megan, has a passion for singing and acting. She loves soccer, cheer and gymnastics. She cheered for two years for the Coral Springs Flag Football Club and then moved to the Chargers Tackle Football Cheering. This is her 3^rd year with the Chargers and my 2^nd year as a coach for cheer. I have coached soccer for 4 years. I have three passions in life: My kids, mentoring/coaching, and education. I enjoy watching our youth learn and develop their capabilities. But more importantly, having fun! You got to have fun! Mentoring also helps me personally in developing my listening skills, patience, and effective communication. I have a Bachelors Degree in Pre-Law with a minor in Psychology. I received my masters, MBA, with a specialization in Leadership. I am currently working on my Doctorate in Higher Education. I have worked at Nova Southeastern University now for 10 years and again, enjoy mentoring the students and being a leader for my colleagues. I just love my job. It is truly a wonderful feeling to know that you can have a positive impact on a student’s life. You will see my handsome son, Colin, at the field. He loves baseball. He can throw and hit either right or left handed. My wonderful husband, Nolan, says he could be a switch hitter or pitcher. Nolan and I have another boy due in early December. The kids are ecstatic. As a hobby, Nolan and I play amateur pool in the Broward APA 8-ball pool league every Tuesday night. We have had our own team for about 15 years now. We are pretty good as we won the South Florida Regional finals in 1998 and went to Nationals in Las Vegas! The Coral Springs Charger Cheerleaders, coaching staff and administrative staff have worked hard for their wonderful reputation. It is an honor to coach these girls and be a part of the CSTFC. I admire their dedication and teamwork to the sport. What makes our girls special? Chargers know how to have fun while reaching for the stars- Superior Grand Champs!

Coach Becky
