Kristy Abney
Director of Spirit Cheerleading & Gym owner of Spirit All Stars
Kristy Abney is the Director and Founder of Spirit Cheerleading. Kristy’s own competitive cheer background and love for the sport drove her to start this program in 2009. Kristy was on a competitive cheer team her 6th, 7th and 8th grade years. Her team competed all over the United States and won 1st place at the U.S.C.A. World International Competition. Kristy also took 1st place at the U.S.C.A. National Competition for a duo routine choreographed and performed by Kristy and one of her team mates. Kristy’s team was nationally recognized for their achievements and performed all over the US including the Bozo Show and Circus World in Orlando Florida. Kristy’s hope and dreams to start an All Star Cheer Team and offer state of the art tumbling classes was achieved when the new Spirit Facility opened in Yorkville on August 15th of 2011. This is now the home to the Spirit Cheerleading All Stars!!
Kristy's vision for Spirit has always been a big one! Spirit has grown from a recreational only cheer organization to an extremely successful all star and tumbling program! Kristy and her staff are fully committed to bring you the best cheer experience possible!
