 I am Terese Tompkins and I am the owner of Full Force.  I love children, I love tumbling, gymnastics, trampoline and cheerleading.  I enjoy teaching young athletes new skills and watching them grow through this sport over the years.  I am an extremely competitive individual and love to instill the traits and lessons of life through our gym as well.  Outside of Full Force I enjoy tutoring math, camping, decorating, and spending time with my family.  I have a wonderful husband and 4 gorgeous children. I also have a gym full of gorgeous children, we are so blessed to have the opportunity to teach children of all ages 

 Hi my name is Alys Piloto Ochoa and I am the General Manager of Full Force. I have been in the Full Force family for over 20 years as a recreational tumbling coach and an all-star cheerleading coach. Some of those years I myself was an all-star cheerleader, winning several National Championships. I was also a school cheerleader for El Campo my 7th-12th grade years. After high school I got my medical degree as a radiological technologist and worked in the field for 6 years. Cheerleading has never left my heart though, I am USASF certified, first aid and CPR certified. I am a strong believer that communication is the key to success with all the athletes and parents that walk in our gym. I love to motivate and inspire all our Full Force athletes. It is truly a blessing to witness the look on an athlete’s face when they have accomplished a goal/skill. Outside work I am all about my family. I have an loving husband and two handsome boys that keep me busy doing mommy things!

Hi, My name is Chad Ganaway. I competed power tumbling from age 10 to age 12. I also competed level 10 trampoline and double mini. As a coach I have trained a national champion for 24 years in a row. I also had an athlete win 3rd in the world in South Africa in 1999 and 5th in the world in Denmark in 2001. I mostly enjoy taking athletes from the very beginning of their trampoline career and watching them develop into athletes that are competitive around the country. My passion is using the sport to teach my athletes about life lessons and teach them to be competitive and have a desire to be successful. I also love the relationships and places I've been able to develop and see over the years. My hobbies include fantasy football, poker and playing madden. I am a Cowboys fan!

 Hi my name is Taylor and  I have worked at Full Force for 7 years. I  was also on team during that time. My favorite part about working here is  the bond I have with the girls, being I have been in there position. I love seeing the growth of each and everyone of them  throughout the season. I really enjoy teaching the kids new things and seeing how hard they work to get it just right so they can make me proud. Seeing the look on the kids’ faces when they have accomplished a new skill, makes me happy and  just as excited as they are. Whether it’s a tiny tumbler learning a forward roll or a level one learning a flip flop, it’s all the same in my eyes. I love and enjoy seeing the kids progress and improve daily. I can’t wait to share many more firsts with this great bunch of kids.
