meet the coaches

coach javis

Coach Javis is an advanced tumbler with fourteen years of experience. His passion for tumbling began when he started in the allstar cheerleading industry in 2008. Since then he has attended conferences, coached world ranked athletes, and has helped athletes overcome the toughest mental blocks. He is constantly building upon his already expansive knowledge base and prides himself on his continuous student mentality when it comes to the sport of tumbling.

Graduating from the University of Minnesota in 2018 with a B.S. in Kinesiology, Javis believes strongly in using his knowledge of body mechanics to help properly build strength and mobility in order to minimize the risk of both acute and chronic injury.

His mission is to help athletes realize their fullest tumbling potential and give them the tools, training, knowledge, and confidence to assist them in reaching it.

coach Alexis

My name is Alexis! I am from Memphis, Tennessee and I started cheering all star in 2006 at Memphis Pride. I have 10 years of experience as an athlete, as well as 3 years of student coaching all star. I moved to Minnesota in 2016, got married, and had my beautiful daughter Bentley, who recently started cheer.

I am currently coaching Farmington’s Varsity competition team and have been for the last 5 years. I have also been coaching tumbling for Farmington for 4 years, teaching beginner to advanced skills for athletes Pre K-12th grade. When I’m not in the gym, I am traveling to Disney, getting coffee and lots of Target runs with my mini.

Coaching has become a passion of mine the last several years. My favorite thing about coaching is connecting with my athletes. I love to watch them grow as athletes, but also as people. Being such a big part of so many kids’ lives has been such a huge honor and I can’t wait to make an impact with athletes at the Tumbling Club!
