Kelly Thomas, head coach & owner of Vero Cheer. I started in competitive gymnastics, but when a growth spurt ended my gymnastics career I found competitive cheerleading. In college, I cheered for the Florida State University All-Girl team and won a National Championship. After graduation, I could not give up my love for cheerleading. While working a full time job, I coached youth leagues and at an all-star gym in the evenings and on weekends. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute I spent with my teams and parents. When I became pregnant with Nolan, I postponed coaching to spend more time with him. Five years and another child later, Makayla, I have realized that cheerleading is my true passion. This lead me to leave my career as Vice President of Marketing for a national company and begin my own all-star cheerleading program. Working with children, helping them to gain self-confidence and grow mentally and athletically is more rewarding than I could have hoped for. I will teach your child to reach new heights.

Chad Thomas, 2011-12 Junior Fusion Coach, Stunt and Tumble Coach.
I taught Kelly everything she knows about Cheerleading! OK, its the other way around. Seriously, I've coached and participated in every sport imaginable. In High School I was a member of the Football, Basketball, Baseball, Swim, and Track Teams. I am a graduate of Florida State University, Go Noles!
My coaching style is to inspire confidence. I expect my teams to be the best. I expect my kids to improve the most. Want to push them? Put them on my team. Want them to get their next skill? Have them take privates with me! My #1 pet peeve- coaches that waist your money, with no results! You wont find those at Vero Cheer.

Specialty- Back Handspings and Roundoff Backtucks.

Mellissa "Winky" Simons , 2011-12 Mini Velocity Coach & Youth Halo Coach
Former Vero Beach High School Cheerleader and coach of the 2011 National Champion Mini Comets. "I love working with young kids and seeing their expressions when they achieve a new skill. It's the best feeling as a coach!" 2011-12 Mini Velocity Coach & Youth Halo Coach
Certified Gymnastic Instructor- I was a competitive gymnast as a child and a cheerleader on and off from middle school through to my freshman year at a small university. I've been a coach for 21 years with my first real coaching position at the age of 13 as a pre-team gymnastics coach. I am also the former gymnastics director at Christi's Family Fitness here in town. Gymnastics has always been my passion and I enjoy teaching kids not only how to "flip" but, more importantly, to believe in themselves. There's no better feeling than knowing that you helped an otherwise shy or under-confident athlete to achieve what they thought in their mind was not possible. The rapport and level of trust that I build with my students makes for a highly rewarding experience. While many of my coaching years have been dedicated to gymnastics, I have several years of cheerleading coaching experience as well. I have been coaching middle school and varsity cheerleading teams at Saint Edward's School for the past 5 years and have been a part of the Vero Cheer family almost from the beginning as a tumbling coach. I appreciate each individual athlete and can promise that I will push each child to reach their full potential. It is my experience that discipline, hard work and commitment produce results and I expect nothing less than 100% effort from my students.

Former Vero Beach High School Cheerleader. Speciality advanced stunting techniques.
