Johnstown All-Stars - Home Page

Hi, my name is Mindy Herrera. I am the co-owner of Johnstown All-Stars along with my husband Jaime. We opened the gym in March of 2007 with the hope of bringing affordable competitive cheerleading to the children in the community. I spent my childhood with a passion for cheerleading and dance and a love of performance and competition. I wasn't as fortunate to have competitive cheerleading offered at such a young age as children are today.

Both my husband and I are natives of Colorado.  I grew up in Loveland and came to visit Johnstown and Milliken every Sunday as I have a lot of family here. Jaime grew up in Johnstown with all his cousins playing football and baseball.  We met our junior year when I transferred to Roosevelt and have been together ever since.  We have three beautiful children that keep us on our toes. Jaime was very instrumental in getting the gym started.  He has always been so supportive of me following my passion and dream and I can't thank him enough for it!

Being able to coach these amazing kids bring such joy to my life. Just knowing that we are teaching these young athletes such valuable life lessons excites me. Helping to show them what competitive cheerleading is all about, being with them the first time they step foot on that mat to learn what competition is all about, helping them learn that with hard work and dedication come true success. I am so excited that the kids that come to this gym are learning and mastering new skills and the growth that I see in them not only physically but emotionally. I couldn't be more proud of these kids, our gym, and our staff for helping to make this such a successful program!

Hi, my name is Jordan Booth and I have been coaching for JAS for going on two seasons now! I have a background in all types of cheerleading, including all-star, high school, and college competitive teams. Cheerleading has been a part of my life since I was 10 years old, and love that I get to share my love of the sport with all our cheerleaders! Seeing what Mindy has done, and how she built this program to what it is now, makes me very happy to be apart of this gym! I can't wait for competition season to start, and most importantly be a role model/coach for the girls, much like people I have learned life lessons from.

Hi my name is Maria Lara; I have lived in Johnstown for 10 years and also have 4 kids. My oldest daughter is Liset she has been with JAS since it started, when I was in college I taught a step aerobics class, I did that for three years, because of my involvement with pageants, TV commercials and many other things I always had to maintain myself fit, working out and trying to eat right was really important to me. My husband and I really enjoy going Latin dancing, we have taken classes together and always thought it would be such a great idea to do a workout to Latin music, because you work almost every muscle in your body and really enjoy doing it! When we heard about Zumba I was so excited because that is what has got me to really get on my feet and motivate myself to start working out again. So I hope you join me into getting healthy and to getting in shape. I really look forward to an awesome workout with you!!!

Hi my name is Liset Alvarado; I am a freshman in high school and a high school and all-star cheerleader. I have been cheering with JAS for going on 4 years now, and have loved every second of it. Cheerleading is a big part of my life I have been doing it since I was 6 years old. I love being able to help coach the beginning basics tumbling class because I love working with kids and knowing that I am helping them succeed in their struggles in this case tumbling makes me very happy. I love being able to pass along everything I have learned at JAS!

Hi, my name is Maddy Skeele, I moved to the Fort Collins area in early August and attend Front Range Community College. I have been involved in gymnastics since I was about 5 years old, and spent almost ten years training. I decided later on that I wanted something new and decided to go out for cheerleading I was about 15 years old when I joined my first All- Star and High School cheerleading teams, and haven’t been able to get enough ever since. My last competitive seasons ended earlier this year and I quickly realized there was no way I could leave cheerleading behind just yet, if ever. I am thrilled to be able to share my passion for cheerleading and hopefully contribute my knowledge to the Johnstown All-Stars, while also looking forward to everything I can learn from the girls, parents, and other Staff members as well.
