Entering her 17th year of Cheerleading, Dancing and Coaching in 2021, Kim is still amazed by the advancement of the sport in both Central Victoria and Australia. Founded by Kim over a decade ago, Cheer N Dance Bendigo has risen from humble beginnings, with roll out mats at the old Kangaroo Flat Leisure Centre, to become one of regional Victoria’s most established and progressive clubs. 

Having started her journey as a Braves Cheerleader, turned Allstar Athlete, Kim has coached many teams to success and considers the best part of her role being able to guide and support young athletes to become strong, independent and confident adults, who hopefully will draw upon all the lessons that competing and training has given them at Cheer N Dance Bendigo. She values a strong foundation of skills and positive attitude to enable athletes to progress both safely and with confidence to higher levels and even after all these years, still gleams with joy at seeing athletes achieve and perfect new skills. 

Having been established as an Allstar Coach for 9 years, Kim values the interactions and connections that she has made with other Gym owners and coaches, both locally, nationally and internationally and attends workshops, trainings and conferences throughout the year to keep up to date with new coaching methods and innovative practices.

Having supported Kim and Cheer N Dance Bendigo from the very start, Ashley has only come out form behind the scenes in recent years. With significant experience in Executive level Business Management, Operations and Marketing, the role of Business Operations Manager, as well as Gym Owner creates great synergies with Kim in the administration of the club and gym. 

Having played elite level cricket in both Melbourne and overseas, Ashley appreciates the challenges that athletes, coaches and parents have to overcome to participate in a sport that they are passionate about. This understanding helps the decision making process within the business, with a true balance between administration and coaching.
