Welcome to Forgotten Coast Athletics.

 

FCA opened in the fall of 2018 in Port St. Joe, Florida. This is our sixth season of all-star cheerleading. Thank you for looking at our website.

 

My name is Stephanie Petersen.  My husband Tim and I are from the Midwest. We have three children that love to cheer.

Stephanie has coached cheerleading for 18 years. She loves sharing her passion of cheer.

 

She is also the Head Port St. Joe High School Cheer Coach since 2019.  We would love to have you join our FCA family.

FCA All-Star Director

Amanda Chizmar, All-Star Director  

My name is Coach Amanda and I come from Panama City, Fl as a former athlete and grew up in the competitive cheer world. With 15 years experience in my pocket as an athlete, I have also completed 6 years of gymnastics, and as well as 7 years of school cheer. My job is not only to teach tumbling and gymnastics but to teach guidance and different qualities to every one of my student that they can take with them throughout their lifetime. My passion lies in helping kids achieve their goals and teaching them about the anatomy behind the tumbling technique. I am so excited to be apart of FCA and watch this gym grow.
