My name is Dessirae and I am the owner of Sutherlin Competitive Elite. On my free time I love to go to the coast and spend an abundance amount of time with my family. Family is extremely important to me and that’s what I love about starting this program for the Sutherlin community. It has created a second family for kids to feel safe, loved and cared for. My #1 goal is to build confidence, character and motivation in our youth. It’s easy to loose site of these these things, so constant reminders of their value and acceptance is hugely important. I have years of dance experience as I taught at La Pine Academy of dance for many years. Prior to teaching I was on the Sweet Sensations jazz drill team for 17 years. I cheered all four years in high school and went to the University of Montana for Dance. I want nothing more than to share the same experiences I got to with as many kids as I can.

My name is Felicia. I love my family more than anything in the world. In my free time I enjoy camping, taking care of animals, and I am currently pursuing my degree in Criminal Justice. I enjoy coaching cheer because I get to be a part of seeing and helping kids grow and build their confidence and seeing them succeed after all the hard work they put in.

My name is Ginni. I am a proud mama of two amazing daughters. It was the love of cheerleading from my youngest that's got me involved with Sutherlin Competitive Elite. As a dancer for the first half of my life, I know how it benefits the mind, body, and soul. I am very excited to move into competitive cheer and help Dessirae share this amazing sport with our community.

Assistant Coach Shelby
My name is Shelby. I am a mom to one sweet girl and she and my family are everything to me. I am also a registered nurse and I have my BLS and ACLS certifications. When I have free time I love to spend time with my family. My daughter has taken classes and cheered with SCE since Dessirae opened the studio. With her deep love of cheer, I have spent countless hours learning how to support her growth as an athlete. It is because of my daughter that I am helping out at SCE now. My hope is to help the kids at SCE progress as athletes and to watch their joy and confidence grow.
Assistant Coach Shani
My name is Shani. I am an owner/ stylist at Walk In Haircuts, but my favorite job is being a mom of three amazing kids. I like to spend my free time hanging out with my family, we are all very close. My two girls have been with SCE since opening and are the reason I have grown a passion for cheer. I’m so excited to be part of shaping and molding these kids into wonderful cheerleaders and appreciate the opportunity to do so.
