 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!

In my spare time I enjoy traveling, organizing, and arts and crafts.  

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 20 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. My hobbies include fantasy football, poker and playing madden. I am a Cowboys fan! 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. 

  My name is Kylie McKelvy. I’m on Senior coed level 5 Code Red this year. I have been at Full Force for about 7 years now. In the future I plan to cheer in college.  I love working at Full Force for many reasons.  I love seeing all of the kids every day. Spending time with them makes me happy. I especially love seeing them get so excited when they learn a new skill, or get that skill on their own. I love all of the kids that I coach, each with their own cute little personalities. I am so proud of every single one of them.  One of the highlights of my day is to get to come to the gym and spend time with each of them. I love what I am doing right now and hope to do this as a career someday. 

Hi, I'm Anna! I began competitive gymnastics at the age of 10. At the age of 15 I transitioned into all-star cheer and went on to cheer in college at Blinn for 2 years and then with Baylor on their acrobatics and tumbling team. I like CrossFit, hunting, fishing and being outdoors. I love to spend time with friends and family. God is also an important party of my life. I enjoy photography and running in my spare time. Coaching is important to be because I get to help mold and shape a child into a confident, independent and responsible individual. I love making an impact on a child's life and being that coach who is a great role-model.

I am constantly in the gym working out , whether it be at Full Force or Planet Fitness. In my spare time you can find me on a computer or studying for school. I work in the industry because Gymnastics has been such a huge impact throughout my entire life. I enjoy watching and helping kids achieve similar goals that I had when growing up. 

 Hi my name is Taylor and  I have worked at Full Force for 5 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.
