Coaches & Support

Coaches

Each of our coaches and volunteers are committed to leading our athletes by example to help everyone build pride in our “Firestorm Family”.

Combined between the coaches, Okanagan Firestorm has over three quarters of a century of cheerleading, choreography, tumbling and technical experience.

All of our coaches are highly qualified and knowledgeable in the areas of which they train.  They are required to attend regular training sessions, keep their BCCA Coaching credentials up to date, have current criminal record checks,  and hold a minimum of a level 1 First Aid and CPR certification, as well as AACCA certifications in concussion identification. 

Office Support & Volunteers

We are people passionate about cheerleading, youth and our community


Our office support team is the backbone of the organization to keep seamless flow of information between Athletes, Parents, and the coaching Staff.

Volunteers are an integral part of our family and the success of our teams.  From Team Moms to event helpers, our volunteers are a critical role in the collaboration of teams at events and behind the scenes.
