Brittney DelGreco, Elite Cheer coach

Brittney DelGreco

Brittney is so excited to return to the cheer world as a coach this season! Cheer has been part of her life from a young age — she cheered from ages 8–17, then spent 5 years coaching before stepping away during COVID to focus on her family. For the past 3 years, she has experienced the sport from the cheer-mom side and fallen even more in love with the community, growth, and confidence cheer builds in young athletes.

As a mom of 6, Brittney is no stranger to chaos, energy, and big personalities. She's passionate about creating a supportive environment where athletes feel encouraged, confident, and excited to come to practice — and she can't wait to help them grow both on and off the mat this season.

It's going to be an amazing season!

Jenna Johnson, Elite Cheer coach

Jenna Johnson

Cheerleading and gymnastics have been a huge part of my life since I was little — and still are, even now as an adult and mom of 6! I've been coaching for 8 years across Pop Warner, school cheer, and All Star, and I'm heading into my 4th season with Elite, where I also have 2 kids in the program. I love being part of Elite and watching the kids gain new skills and confidence every season. My favorite thing about coaching is the lifelong bonds and friendships — I can't wait to see all the hard work pay off this season!

Jordyn Scalesse, Elite Cheer coach

I love helping kids grow in more ways than just cheer skills! Getting to know each athlete on a personal level — and their goals for the season — lets me do whatever I can to help them achieve those goals and feel amazing about themselves. There is nothing better than watching them work hard and seeing it all pay off!

Nia Yell, Elite Cheer coach

Nia Yell

All Star Director

Coach Nia here!! This will be my 5th season with Elite Cheer & Athletics, and I can't wait to get started! As Elite's All Star Director, my mission is to make sure every kid, coach, and parent feels supported all season long — so if you ever need help, please reach out!

I grew up in the cheer world, competing on Levels 4.2–6, and I've had the opportunity to coach Levels 1–4 — including winning a National Championship with our Y2 team!

My favorite part of coaching is watching athletes grow each season, not just in new skills but in learning more about themselves along the way. I strive to inspire confidence and self-love in every athlete while creating a positive, encouraging environment where they can succeed both on and off the mat.

Sabrina Bernal, Elite Cheer coach

Coach Sabrina

Hi, I'm Sabrina! I've spent the last few years working at Planet Fitness, where I grew to love helping people feel stronger, more confident, and comfortable being themselves. Fitness and community have always been a huge part of who I am, and that same energy carries into cheer. I love building athletes up — focusing on strength and confidence — and creating an environment that's positive, supportive, and fun. I bring a lot of energy, motivation, and personality to everything I do, and I'm always the loudest one cheering everyone on!

Sophia Wolfe, Elite Cheer coach

Sophia Wolfe

Hi! My name is Sophie, and this will be my 4th season coaching at Elite Cheer & Athletics! I was part of the very first Elite team, which makes coaching here so special to me. I also cheered for Hunking Middle School and Haverhill High School, where I had the opportunity to win States alongside some of my best friends.

Outside of Elite, I coach at Haverhill High School as the Assistant Varsity Coach alongside my sister, which has been an amazing experience.

One of my favorite parts of coaching is helping athletes build confidence, create lasting memories, and fall in love with the sport the way I did growing up. I strive to create a positive, encouraging environment where athletes can grow both on and off the mat — always believing in themselves and having fun along the way!

Thalia Cardona, Elite Cheer coach

Thalia Cardona

Coach T here for my fourth season at Elite! I've had the honor of coaching two Level 1 teams, and last year I led my first Level 2 team. Safe to say, every team has been incredibly successful and has grown in more ways than I could've imagined.

I'm excited to head into this season and push for a championship! The motivation and skill improvements the athletes have already brought to the gym since Worlds make me believe this will be our best season yet. #staytuned

Tyler Bisson, Elite Cheer coach

Tyler Bisson

Tyler brings over 10 years of All Star cheer experience to the floor! He has spent the last 8 years coaching athletes from Levels 1–6, with 5 years of experience as a choreographer creating high-energy, nationally competitive routines.

A 2015 World Champion, Tyler has choreographed 3 Pop Warner National Championship–winning routines and coached teams to both The Cheerleading Worlds and The Summit Championship.

Vikki Montisanti, Elite Cheer coach

Coach Vikki

Coach Vikki brings over three decades of experience in gymnastics and tumbling instruction, with a passion for helping athletes grow in confidence and skill at every level. A lifelong gymnast, she began teaching at just 18 and went on to build and lead the tumbling program at an All Star cheerleading gym, where she taught for more than 11 years, developing athletes from beginner through Level 5.

Vikki has worked with athletes from 18 months old through young adults, creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where each child can progress at their own pace. Her philosophy is simple: when kids feel comfortable and cared for, they learn faster, safer, and more effectively. We're thrilled to welcome Coach Vikki to the HIVE and can't wait for our athletes to learn from her energy, experience, and love of the sport!
