Melissa & Dustin Hill
Owners & Coaches
Melissa fell in love with all star cheerleading in high school and cheered on one of the first Colorado Lightning Allstars teams. In 2022, our daughters decided to start cheerleading at CLA as well. Dustin quickly immersed himself into cheer dad life and in 2024, we purchased the gym as part of our vision to pass on the Legacy Mo and Jo Trujillo had in mind when they established the gym.
We both have a passion for the role youth sports and coaching can play on our children: bridging social gaps, mentorship, providing positive communities, and teaching life lessons through coaching and work ethic. We are excited to grow with our athletes and provide a home away from home and a second family to every athlete that walks through our doors.
