Coaches: Danielle Laske is a Centennial Cheerleading alumna and fell in love with coaching the moment she had the opportunity to coach the Middle School team in the 2015-2016 year. Since then, she has coached both the Elementary and Middle School teams. “I think one of my favorite things about coaching is watching the athletes grow throughout the years. A lot of girls I used to coach have graduated and moved onto college cheerleading and I am so blessed I was able to be a small part of their cheerleading careers.” Rachael Lichtenberg : Rachael cheered for Centennial Middle School in 6th and 8th grade, Centennial Varsity 2010-2013 and Northern Elite All Stars 2012-2013. Her favorite parts of cheer were stunting and tumbling. She visited the Centennial Middle School team during the 2020-2021 season and was immediately interested in joining the coaching team! After a long break from cheer, she is ready to join the program again and bring her skills to the team.
