Coach Chanel..(Coach C)
Owner/All-Levels Coach
Coach Chanel has 20+ years of coaching experience, from Pop Warner to college, and has led teams to 20+ National and Grand Championships. Legacy Elite Starz is the relaunch of her original Legacy Athletics All-Stars after a six-year break; she kept the Legacy name and refreshed the brand.
Today, Legacy Elite Starz pairs Coach Chanel’s expertise with an experienced staff to develop confident, disciplined athletes. The program focuses on technical skills, sport-specific strength and conditioning, and mental performance. Coaches set individualized goals, track progress, and adjust training.
The gym promotes respect, teamwork, and accountability. Older athletes mentor younger ones, creating a leadership pipeline. Staff combine competitive experience and youth-development backgrounds to deliver current, athlete-centered training.

Coach Kristina
Mini/Youth Level Coach
Coach Kris brings years of hands-on experience and genuine passion to her work with youth teams. Having cheered through high school and at Chicago State University for two years under Coach Chanel, she learned firsthand the values and techniques that shape strong athletes and cohesive teams. Now stepping into the All-Star cheer world as a coach, once again alongside Coach Chanel, Kris is focused on building a lasting impact.
Coach Chanel named her team “Legacy” because the program emphasizes mentorship and continuity: athletes develop under caring coaches, return later as mentors, and pass those lessons on to the next generation. Coach Kris embraces that mission. She is dedicated, enthusiastic, and committed to helping athletes grow technically, mentally, and as teammates. Excited to be part of this next chapter with Coach Chanel, Kris aims to honor the Legacy by developing confident, skilled athletes who will come back to pay it forward.
Coach Alexis
Junior/Senior Level Coach
Coach Alexis has spent over eight years cheering with the All-Stars and now joins her mother to coach, bringing years of experience and energy to the gym. When she's in town she co-coaches the Junior and Senior levels alongside her mom, Coach C., blending her competitive background with collaborative guidance.
Their partnership emphasizes consistent technique, teamwork, and athlete development, with Alexis often focusing on skill progression while Coach C. manages strategy and routine refinement. Together they create a supportive environment that balances discipline and encouragement, helping athletes grow both technically and confidently.
