Coach Shelley Crosthwait
With more than 18 years of coaching experience in competitive cheer, recreational cheer, and gymnastics, Shelley Crosthwait has dedicated her life to helping young athletes grow in confidence, strength, and character—both on and off the mat.
A former high school cheerleader and gymnast herself, Shelley’s passion for the sport began early and has only continued to grow through decades of coaching, mentoring, and education. Her coaching philosophy is rooted in grit, determination, patience, encouragement, and the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed.
Shelley earned her Bachelor’s Degree in English from University of Arkansas at Little Rock and later completed her Master’s Degree in Gifted and Talented K–12 Education. Driven by a passion for innovation and student success, she continued expanding her expertise with certifications in Technology and Business.
Her educational journey continued with earning a Master’s Degree in Counseling, and she is currently pursuing her MBA—bringing together leadership, education, mentorship, and business expertise in everything she does.
Today, Shelley is pouring her heart into the next chapter of her journey as Coach and Owner of Bloom Cheer & Tumbling. Her mission is simple but powerful: to create a positive environment where children can build confidence, develop physical and mental strength, learn discipline and teamwork, and discover that they are capable of more than they ever imagined.
At Bloom Cheer & Tumbling, Shelley believes the lessons learned through cheer and tumbling extend far beyond the gym. They help young athletes bloom into confident, resilient, and empowered individuals ready to chase their dreams.
