Coach Adrianna 🐘
I’ve been part of the Oak Forest Sparklers for 11 years and have spent the past 2 years coaching the team. Cheer has always been such a special part of my life—I made so many friends, learned new things, and created memories I’ll never forget. Coaching has been just as rewarding, and I love watching the kids light up when they get a new skill. I also coach gymnastics here and enjoy spending time with friends when I’m not coaching. I’m starting my junior year of high school, and my favorite color is green—I absolutely love elephants too!
Coach Ali 🦒
I’ve been cheering with the Sparklers competitive team for 10 years and dancing with Momentum Dance Force for 4 years, along with taking recital classes since 2014. I coach cheer, tumbling, and gymnastics classes, and I love using what I’ve learned to help kids grow their skills and confidence. Our mentoring program has helped me learn spotting, drills, and evaluations, and it’s made me an even stronger coach. My favorite part of coaching is connecting with the kids and seeing their excitement when they achieve something new. My favorite color is green, and I love giraffes!
Coach Destiny 🦋
I started coaching at the Oak Forest Park District in 2017, but my cheer journey began long before that! I cheered for flag football, moved into competitive cheer and gymnastics, and even launched the Sparklers program in 2011. Now I coach Sparklers cheer, tumbling, and gymnastics while also serving as the cheer and dance program coordinator. Watching our athletes grow has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’m currently studying psychology to become a school guidance counselor, and outside of coaching, I love singing, hanging out with friends, and spending time with my dogs. Pink is my favorite color, and I also love dolphins, penguins, and butterflies!
Coach Jordan 🐺
I began coaching at the Oak Forest Park District in 2022 and currently coach Sparklers cheer, tumbling, and gymnastics. I grew up cheering on the Steelers Flag Football team and the Jack Hille Middle School team, and I also danced at Oak Forest High School. My favorite part of coaching is watching the moment everything clicks for a student—it’s so rewarding to see their hard work pay off. This fall, I’ll be starting my senior year of college, majoring in psychology. My favorite color is blue, and I love wolves, jewelry, and crocheting!
