29-Years of Gator Tradition
Once a Gator, always a Gator.
Spartanburg Gators has been part of the local community for 29 years, providing young athletes with opportunities to grow, learn, and build confidence through youth sports.
Our sideline cheer program continues that tradition by creating a positive and supportive environment where cheerleaders develop teamwork, leadership, and school spirit.
One of the most special parts of our program is seeing former Gator cheerleaders return years later with their own children — and even come back to help coach the next generation of Gators.
That is the Gator Legacy.
Your 2026 Volunteer Cheer Staff

My name is Coach Angie, and I serve as the Cheer Administrator for the Spartanburg Gators Cheer Program. While my primary role is administrative, I will also be actively involved in coaching throughout the summer and remain available to support during the season.
My goal is to manage the administrative and logistical needs behind the scenes so our coaches can focus on creating a positive and rewarding experience for every cheerleader.
I recently retired from the Army in 2026 after 24 years of service and am proud to bring that same dedication and leadership to this program. I’m married and a proud mom of two.
Experience:
Coaching Spartanburg Gators Cheerleaders since 2016; Army Master Fitness Trainer; CPR/AED Certified

Greetings!!
I’m a dedicated coach who believes in leading by example. My goal is to be a positive role model while building meaningful relationships with coaches, parents, cheerleaders, and our local community.
I’m a proud boy mom, and my son and I have been part of the Spartanburg Gators family for three years. My passion for cheer and dance began at age 6, training in tap, ballet, and jazz, and continued through high school where I served as captain of a competitive co-ed cheer team.
Most recently, I’ve enjoyed coaching youth cheerleading and mentoring athletes preparing for middle and high school cheer.
I look forward to helping your child gain confidence, build character, and develop leadership skills through cheer.
