I began cheerleading at 10 years old because I wanted to be friends with a group of girls from my school. Little did I know it would take me further than I ever imagined!

Throughout high school, I competed for all-star programs such as Spirit Explosion, World Cup, and Upper Merion All-Stars. I had the privilege of competing at the biggest competitions in all-star cheer such as NCA, UCA, The Summit, and The Cheerleading World Championship.

I attended college and cheered for Hofstra University in Long Island, NY. In 2019 my dreams came true when my teammates and I won the UCA College National Championship. After graduating with a BA in Marketing and minors in IT and Business Analytics, I returned home to Downingtown PA.

I helped to start a local college cheerleading team and began offering mobile tumbling lessons. During this time I discovered that there is nothing I love more than coaching!

In April of 2022, Coach Emma B LLC was born!

After a successful launch, I decided I wanted to grow my company to reach more athletes eager to grow by establishing Alliance Tumbling & Cheer LLC in the Exton Square Mall.

​

In the fall of 2022, I began coaching the Varsity and Competition Teams at Downingtown East High School. In the Spring of 2024, I became the Head Coach of the program!

Every day I strive to grow the love, confidence, and skill set of young athletes with a passion for tumbling, cheer, and stunting. I started this company to help athletes realize that they can accomplish more than they ever dreamed of.  Time to get to work!

Through cheer and my career goals, I plan to continue to teach, encourage and support others to be strong and confident. I began competitive cheer in 4th grade at Visitation BVM School and instantly fell in love. I was on Varsity from 5th to 8th grade, which gave me the opportunity to help teach younger kids to cheer. Some awards I received were being a 2017 UCA All-American, 2018 PJPHS All-American, 2018 Kedron School tumble-off winner, and 2018 (Co) Competitive Cheer MVP. I went to Pope John Paul ll High School and was on Varsity for all 4 years. I am most proud of being 2021 and 2022 District Champions, 2022 PAC Champions, and for placing 3rd at states in 2021. I received 4 more UCA All-Americans as well as getting the 2022 coaches award and 2022 Game Day MVP. I am excited to continue to be involved in the cheer world and to coach children to become the best they can be!

Hi everyone! My name is Becca Wiley, and I am a senior at Downingtown East High School! I found my love for cheer in sixth grade and since then it has only grown. I began cheering at Marsh Creek Eagles and continued at Lionville Middle School. Currently, I spend my time cheering and competing on Downingtown East’s Varsity Traditional and Gameday teams! Cheer has helped me gain confidence, grow as a leader through my role as captain, and meet forever friends. I aspire as a coach to help athletes have fun while reaching their goals!

Hi! My name is Sophia Koch, I am currently going into my freshman year of high school at Downingtown West. I started cheering in fifth grade for an All-Star team and continued there until 6th grade. Then in middle school, I cheered for a school team and the Marsh Creek Eagles. This will be my first year on junior varsity at Downingtown West, where I am on the traditional competition team and the game day team. My favorite experience I have had since I started high school cheer was attending Pine Forest Cheer Camp! It was great being with friends 24/7 and developing my cheerleading skills all day was an amazing experience. When I began tumbling at Alliance I developed a new outlook that reminded me how fun tumbling is! I can’t wait to impact young athletes in the same way as an Alliance coach!!
