Ayana_edited_edited.jpg

Ayana Moore

Ayana began her journey with us as a dedicated athlete, where she quickly stood out for her passion, commitment, and strong work ethic. After her time as an athlete, she shifted her focus to furthering her education and building her professional career. While working in a school setting, Ayana naturally gravitated back to cheerleading and began coaching the school’s team. It was there that her coaching abilities truly began to shine.

 

Recognising her talent, leadership, and ability to connect with young athletes, we were thrilled to welcome her back — this time as a coach. Her experience as both an athlete and an educator brings a unique perspective to our programme, and we’re proud to have her as part of our coaching team.
