Founders
Kristin Vanderpool & Julia Moore
We've been cheering together since 8th grade, and continued through high school together, and then both of us moved away to college, cheered there and then came back to settle down in Citrus County, FL! We love ALL THINGS CHEER-competitive, rec, school, and all the things inbetween! We have been coaching together for over 6 years and are excited to continue our journey through Kingdom Athletics gym.

**Coaching Philosophy:**
My passion for coaching has roots in growing up in a small town with little access to competitive cheerleading. I knew I wanted to return home after college and give back to the future cheerleaders of Citrus County. I never imagined the Lord would open up an opportunity to provide multiple age group teams to compete in a positive and Christian environment at Solid Rock Cheer.
I believe everyone has the potential to be an incredible athlete as long as they have the passion and determination. What I love about cheer is there is a spot for everyone and their individual strengths, and it takes true team work to perform a cheer routine or stunt sequence. I truly believe hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. I absolutely love pouring into the athletes and helping them discover skills they never thought they could do and making progress. Philippians 4:13
