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!

I am currently a student at Cortivia Institute to become an Esthetician. 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! My name is Lauren and I have 6 years of cheer experience. I started with DYW and continued cheer throughout middle school and high school at Downingtown East. I’m currently in my senior year at Bloomsburg University studying early childhood education. In my free time I love to read!

Hey there!!! My name is Robyn Snyder and I am a sophomore at Penn State with a counseling major.  Last year, I lived in Colorado and served in Americorps to work with underprivileged kids and ran after-school programming and reading intervention. When I was here I coached the middle/high cheer team and was so grateful to be back in the sport I love more than anything. I started cheering when I was 5 years old and until I was a senior captain at Downingtown East High School. I can’t wait to be a part of the alliance team and share my passion for cheerleading and hard work with everyone I work with!

Hi everyone! My name is Becca Wiley, and I am a rising 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! I am so thankful for the opportunity that Alliance has given me to help grow our community’s love for cheer!

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!!
