Hi! My name is Adrianna and I am going into my senior year of high school and will be a 2027 graduate! I coach cheer, tumbling, and gymnastics! I cheered for the Oak Forest Sparklers for 11 years, and I have coached the Sparklers cheer team for the past three years. Being a part of the cheer team myself was an amazing experience. You get to make new friends, learn new things, and overall, it was something I always looked forward to. Once I began coaching gymnastics here, I fell in love with the job. I love watching the kids get new skills. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my friends. My favorite color is green, and my favorite animal is an elephant! 
Hello everyone 😊 My name is Ali. I coach cheer, dance, and tumbling classes. The first sport I ever did was gymnastics. When I was 4, I started taking dance classes and also joined cheer. I’ve been dancing and cheering ever since! I have been on Sparklers competitive cheer for 11 years and Momentum Dance Force competitive dance for 5 years, in addition to all the recital classes I’ve done since 2014. I’m excited to use what I’ve learned to help your children. We have an awesome mentoring program, and the coaches have taught me so much more from the coach’s perspective—like spotting, drills, evaluations, and more. I love interacting with the kids and helping them achieve new skills. My favorite color is green, and my favorite animal is a giraffe. 
I’m Ava and I am currently training on all cheer related classes! I grew up here at the Park District doing gymnastics until level 3 until I decided to try out for Senior Sparklers! I have been on Sparklers for the past 3 years and plan to stay for more years to come. I was even the Senior Sparkler Cheerleader of the year for the 2025-2026 season! I just graduated from 8th grade and will be attending Oak Forest High School this fall. With training it is my goal to be able to coach my own classes by the end of the summer session. I also plan to get trained on coaching gymnastics in the future as well!
Hi! My name is Coach Cadence! I coach tumbling and gymnastics here at the park district. I cheered for the Oak Forest Sparklers for 8 years. I also cheered at Central Middle School the 3 years I was there. I am going into my senior year and will be a 2027 graduate at Tinley Park High School and have been cheering there since the summer going into my freshman year! My favorite thing about cheer is getting new stunts and new skills in tumbling because I feel accomplished and happy after working so hard for a new skill. I also loved being able to make new friends and learn new things. Outside of cheering and coaching, I like to spend time with my friends and family. My favorite color is purple and my favorite animal is a panda! 
Hello! I’m Coach Destiny, and I’ve been part of the Oak Forest Park District family since 2017. I’m lucky to coach team tumbling and our competitive cheer team, Sparklers. I also get to coordinate our cheer and dance programs, which is such a joy! I’ve been passionate about cheer since I was young, participating in flag football cheer and Sparklers. I even had the pleasure of being part of the Sparklers from its very first year in 2011, cheering from 2nd grade through my sophomore year and coaching since 6th grade. This past May I graduated with my Bachelors in Psychology and will be starting grad school soon with plans of becoming a school guidance counselor. When I’m not coaching or studying, you can usually find me singing or hanging out with friends. I love the color pink and have a soft spot for dogs, dolphins, penguins, and butterflies. 
Hi! My name is Jordan and I began coaching at the park district in 2022. I did cheer for most of my childhood, being on the Steelers Flag Football team as well as the Jack Hille Middle School team. I was also on the Oak Forest High School dance team. I now coach Sparklers Cheer, tumbling, and gymnastics here! My favorite thing about coaching is seeing when something clicks for a student. The moment when a child finally gets a skill or stunt they’ve been struggling with is an amazing feeling. This past May I graduated with my Bachelors in Psychology and plan to start grad school in the fall of 2026! My favorite color is blue, I love wolves, and I absolutely love jewelry and crocheting!! 
Hello! My name is Coach Peyton! I just finished my student teaching, majoring in Elementary Education and minoring in Special Education and just graduated this past May! I was a cheerleader for 13 years and spent majority of my youth with Tinley Park Bobcats & Andrew High School Cheer but I also did 2 years of Sparklers! I was a gymnast for 5 years here at the OFPD. I’ve always had a passion to work with children, helping them grow stronger and become more confident in themselves as well as their skills! My goal is to create a positive & supportive environment where everyone feels safe to be themselves and have fun! In my free time I like to read, workout, hang out with friends and volunteer at my local animal shelter. Some of my favorites are highland cows, purple, Starbucks and Christmas! 🐮
