Coach Ashley!
At 7 years old, Ashley’s mom opened an all star cheer program and little did she know that cheer would be a part of her life for the next 21 years.

She has competed 2 times at the Cheerleading Worlds in Orlando, FL and has a multitude of national championship titles.
She worked side by side with her mom while they ran their 18-year cheer program and learned all the important details to running a successful gym.

She loves helping gymnasts build strength, confidence, and skills in a fun and supportive environment. With firsthand experience in the sport's dedication and discipline, she strives to inspire young gymnasts to reach their full potential.

She's excited to be part of the Showtime Gymnastics coaching team and can't wait to see her athletes grow this season!

Coach Karra found a love for tumbling at a young age. She tried everything from tap and jazz dance, gymnastics, and eventually cheer! After 15 years of competitive and sideline cheer, she took a step back from the sport. As her children got older and both showed interest (and natural talent) in gymnastics and tumbling, she quickly found a love for coaching! When Coach Karra is not at the gym she is finishing her masters degree in animal psychology and/or training one of her 5 pitties. After 2.5 years coaching gymnastics and tumbling at Showtime Sports (and more recently coaching tumbling at BVA) whether she is coaching or training she is enthusiastic, patient, and supportive. Always encouraging her students to thrive to their personal best, while also inspiring exciting new skills!
