Who We Are

We are a group of individuals, including dedicated baton twirling coaches and parent volunteers, committed to fostering a safe and welcoming environment for competitive baton twirling. Our mission is to instill values and skills in our athletes that will benefit them in the competitive baton twirling arena and beyond.

meet our coaches

Our baton twirling coaches are dedicated to developing proper technique in our athletes. We believe this foundational skill is crucial not only for competitive baton twirling success but also for athlete longevity and protection from injury. As such, all of our coaches are trained through the CBTF program. 


To inquire about private lessons, please reach out to the coach individually via their email for more information on rates and availability.
