My daughter Lindsey started with Bravo almost a year ago doing private classes for Tumbling skills and then joined Satellite program in December. Lindsey knew Nicole from Wakefield Pop Warner when she volunteered her time and expertise with Lindsey' team at her gym. Nicole made such an impact on my daughter like no person ever has. Nicole has been a great role model to Lindsey and a second mother. She had been cheering for years with Pop Warner and always enjoyed it up until last season, which was the most discouraging one for her. Lindsey had decided early on that it would be her last year with Pop Warner. While Nicole helped our Pop Warner team and during private tumbling Lindsey really became more comfortable and looked forward to going to cheering. Amazingly within 2 months Lindsey got her back handspring and her running triple. Nicole got her to come out of her shell and made her feel more confident with herself. Lindsey was a basic cheerleader and was molded by the Bravo Coaches into a driven, confident girl who would keep on trying till she got it. One day I was running late to pick her up and she asked me to come in she wanted to show me something. So I did and I saw one of the Bravo teams and Lindsey said to me that this was the cheering that she wanted. It was breath taking how good they were. Lindsey asked me if she could do Satellite since it was too late for an all year team. Lindsey explained to me she would do satellite and continue to tumble and hoped by the time tryouts came in May that she would be better at tumbling. Lindsey had said the reason why she loves Bravo so much is because of her Coaches(Adriane, Bryan and Nicole) and her teammates, the gym, and the different skill levels of cheering that is taught and the girls do have fun learning and still get the work done. Lindsey is so proud to show off her Bravo clothes. Lindsey went to Bravo knowing 3 to 4 girls and now has so many friends and is part a huge family. Each of the girls are so supportive to each other and no cliques which is another quality that makes Bravo so successful. Last April Nicole hosted her own competition at Stoneham High. She had the biggest turnout of any gym with 72 teams registering. This was the biggest one out of all the local competitions held this year. That really speaks volumes to how much she is respected by her fellow gyms. Every time we go to a competition, Bravo teams show what hard work pays and always excites the crowd. Not only is my daughter lucky to be part of Bravo's huge success but I know that she has such great Coaches who are devoted to the kids. Nicole has set up rules for the girls that holds them accountable. Each of the girls know what is expected of them and know if they have any problem at all that her door is always open. If you are looking for an All-star Gym Bravo is where you want to be, not just for the colors but because you will be satisfied with the outstanding achievements on and off the mats.
