Brandon Bishop

Brandon has many years experience as a tumbling coach in North Carolina where our owner Jen is originally from as well. While she was the manager at an all star gym there, Brandon worked as a tumbling coach and summer camp staff as well as working with allstar teams and school teams to help them reach their full potential. He is an amazing teacher and has a way of reaching each athlete based on their goals and mindset. He is passionate about his craft and perfecting his own skills which makes him an asset and leader in this industry. We are blessed to have a tumbling coach with his knowledge of the sport. He is also an assistant coach for all 5 of our teams this season. He had the opportunity last year to attend NCA Nationals and The Cheerleading Worlds with Core Athletics before they made the transition to Stingrays NY. He is hoping to continue his legacy as an athlete and a coach this season.

She is excited to be in the gym working in any capacity and we are thankful to have her.
