The Coaches | Chatfield Cheer

Meet the Coaches!

Kristy Woodyard - Co-Head Varsity Coach

I'm originally from Wichita, KS. Started doing gymnastics when I was 5. I did competitive gymnastics at Wichita South and also cheered all 4 years both all-girl and coed. In 1999, I continued my cheerleading career at Friends University (in Wichita) where I cheered all 4 1/2 years on a Coed Cheer Team. I graduated with a Bachelors of Business Administration in Accounting and a Bachelors of Arts in Spanish in December 2003. I then moved out to Colorado with my husband Brandon (married in 2002) to start our life out here. We have 4 children (Shelby, Sadie, Jack and Josie). I coached All-Star Competitive Cheer at Peak Athletics from 2006-2009 and also coached the All-Star Prep Program at Peak Athletics from 2013-2016. In 2016, I competed in the Mrs. Colorado America Pageant as Mrs. Littleton and then took the Head Coach position at Chatfield. It's been an amazing ride and I'm so proud to be apart of the Chatfield community as we continue to leave a legacy.

For fun we simply love to be together as a family renovating our home, playing at the park, watching movies or watching sports.

Danielle Little Peper - Co-Head Varsity Coach

Danielle “Dani” grew up in Highlands Ranch and currently resides in Littleton. Dani started cheering competitively in middle school and continued until she graduated high school, where she also cheered for two years. Dani started coaching on the competitive level when she was 16 and has coached all skill levels and ages. Dani also works at a hospital with oncology and hematology patients and is pursuing her under-grad degree in biology and chemistry in hopes of continuing her medical career. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her husband, Josh, her two dogs and traveling.

Bailey Wilson - Co-Head JV Coach

I am a Colorado Native but the East Coast will always be home. I currently reside in Englewood, Co in a cute little apartment right down the street from where I grew up. I am currently an operations assistant for Engel & Volkers Real Estate Company Downing Street Group. I grew up in Denver, Co with my little brother, Mom, and Step dad while I attended K-12 in Littleton. Growing up I was very involved with sports, playing basketball, softball, and cheering a little. Some things I enjoy include painting, lots of crafting, spending time with friends and family, traveling, and of course coaching. I first started coaching my senior year of high school, where I was an assistant coach for middle school age boys basketball, and finished as a head coach. I graduated from Chatfield in 2018, where I was also on Varsity cheer with Kristy and Dani as my coaches. I started coaching for them 2 seasons ago, an I adore it! Chatfield is truly my home, and I cherish the time I get to spend with these amazing girls and coaches!

Lindsey Pelham - Co-Head JV Coach

Lindsey was born and raised in Colorado. She spent her early years in Colorado Springs and eventually moved with her family to Littleton. She attended Falcon Bluffs Middle School and graduated from Chatfield Senior Highschool in 2018. Freshman and sophomore year she spent most of her time writing for the school yearbook, not being involved in many extra-curricular activities. Unbeknownst to her, she took interest in cheerleading (Thanks to Bailey and her coaches Dani and Kristy). Before she knew it, she was cheering in Dallas, Texas under the bright lights of the NCA National stage. Soon after graduating, she took a job at the Denver Zoo, moved to RiNo District, and is now a manager for KMSSA company. Her love for cheer brought her back to her Alumni high school and is now coaching for her third year under her former coaches. She is so grateful to be able to give back to her community she grew up in and wouldn't have it any other way.
