COACHING STAFF

 

Head of Programme- Kelly Bradnick

 

After developing a passion for cheerleading at university, Kelly set up the Saints to meet the growing demand for the sport in South Wales. Having prior coaching experience working as a 5x60 officer delivering a range of sports within schools, Kelly wanted to put these skills into her passion. Kelly has been head coach of the Saints for over three years and is qualified in all NCSSE credentials. Now she is taking a step back from directly coaching the team to offer more management over the squads development. Kelly will also oversee the other coaching staff to ensure the most proficient programme is delivered. 

 

 

Assistant Head of Programme - Lauren Russell

 

After being part of her university cheerleading team, Lauren joined the Saints in its infancy back in 2012. Having gained invaluable experience in not only being on a successful team but also how to run one, Lauren decided to run for committee. She was elected vice captain of the South Wales Saints  cheerleading squad and has played a pivotal role in the development and success of the team. Lauren has also completed full credentials in NCSSE cheerleading coaching and will now be leading the squads in stunt and conditioning training. Aside from her coaching responsibilities, Lauren will maintain her role as vice captain.
