Cassidy Young
My name is Cassidy Young. I have been a coach here at Chameleon Gymnastics since 2014. I coach all levels of girls rec and the Xcel Bronze team. I did gymnastics for eight years and I just recently quit due to ankle injuries. I think gymnastics is great for kids of all ages to be active, learn teamwork and it’s just an overall fun environment.

Jack DeVries

I have been in gymnastics throughout most of my life. I was a competitive gymnast for 5 years. I placed 2nd on vault for level 8 before I was injured. Now I am healed and back in the sport. I am a boys recreational and team gymnastics coach. I also coach beginner and intermediate parkour. And I am in the advanced parkour class.

Dakota Swenson

I have been a part of the Chameleon family since it was first started. I was a competitive optional gymnast until 2012. Now I am a member of Castle View's varsity cheer team. I have coached at Chameleon for almost a year now and I love every part of it. I am concussion certified and I love working with all the kids. It is great to see them grow and learn gymnastics as I did when I was younger. Being with Chameleon has been and will always be an amazing experience.

Isabella Henley
I was a gymnast for 11 years before retiring at level 8. I have loved gymnastics since I was 5 years old and just starting. I moved to Colorado recently after living in Ohio and Missouri. I love working with kids and helping them learn new skills and have fun.

Rusty Blayter
I live in the Castle Rock area with my sister, brother, mom and dad. Whenever I get the chance, I love to either be outside riding a bike or running, or hanging out with my friends making videos of the most random things you can think of. I haven't been in the gymnastics world for too long but I'm starting to get the hang of things. I am just working birthday parties as of right now, but I'm also taking classes to become a coach for parkour.

Hunter Kovacs

My love for gymnastics extends into my childhood when I began attending gymnastics classes around seven years old. I believe in treating children with the same respect that I would treat my peers with. Clear and respectful communication is the foundation of a constructive coaching relationship, plus a mediocre joke here and there. A positive gymnastics environment enables young people to not only improve their control/understanding of their bodies, but also develop social & life skills that so many youngsters desperately need. I have loved being part of the Chameleon family for the past few years, and although my roles are mainly birthday parties and open gyms, it's clear that all the coaches here are personally invested in each child.

Dancing, designing, traveling and creating/building are major components of my life and identity. I am currently studying industrial design at Metropolitan State University, which means I am constantly designing and building fun things from furniture to everyday products. Anythings outdoors makes me happy, & discovering & exploring new cultures around the world has given me invaluable perspective on how truly lucky most Americans are to having our standard of living. I believe in creating more; consuming less. I believe in the power of a good attitude. & I believe in independent thinking. When I'm at work, my basic message to all is "How can we improve ourselves today?". Having fun can be simultaneous with becoming a better person, and that's a goal I strive toward.
