Coach Courtney

Hi everyone! My name is Courtney Rimel and I am the Co-Owner of Axis Gymnastics Academy. I’m excited to have opened a facility here in Uvalde to help share my love of all things gymnastics, tumbling and cheer!

I started gymnastics when I was just three years old in a community Ed class but then went on to compete Level 9 in USAG, AGA and High School gymnastics. I also did school cheer in junior high but chose to focus on gymnastics in high school.

When I went to college I spent a year in competitive all star cheer with Texas Ag Elite, a open level 5 team in 2006-2007, as well as competed in NAIGC club gymnastics with Texas A&M for four years where our womens team was NAIGC national champions all four years. I graduated with a Bachelors in Science in exercise physiology in 2010.

I began coaching in college in the gym I grew up in and have coached gymnastics for 19 years. I have coached preschool, boys and girls recreational classes, cheer, tumbling and as well as competitive gymnastics teams.

I am so excited to work with these kids and see where this sport can take them!

Hi everyone! My name is Garrett Rimel and I am the Co-Owner of Axis Gymnastics Academy. I have competed in and coached a variety of sports for 30 years.

I have been coaching cheer and gymnastics for 6 years but have been coaching other sports for nearly 25 years.  
Coach Stevee
Hi, My name is Coach Stevee and I have been coaching at Axis for three years. I am the head coach for the Level 1 gymnastics team, assitant coach for Levels 2-5 gymnastics, and Co-Coach for the Level 1 Tiny cheer team. I also coach rec gymnastics, tumbling and dance classes. 
 I was on the high school dance team for 3 years in high school and I was ranked as an officer. I recently joined the show choir and made my way to varsity this past year as well. Before that, I did gymnastics for about 2 years, and dance after for 3 or 4 years following. I have volunteered with my church for our VBS(Vacation Bible School) in the past and other events. I genuinely adore working with kids. From the experiences I have had coaching shows, there is never a dull moment in classes. Every child I have worked with always puts a smile on my face or seems to amaze me, I love all my classes. I love seeing them succeed as well.
Coach Hailie
Hi, My name is coach Haillie and I have been coaching at Axis for over two years. I am a wife, mom, coach and teacher, as well as an author in my limited free time. I love working with kids and helping them grow and develop new skills. When I'm not working at the gym, I am either teaching or wrangling my kids as they enjoy spending their free time riding horses or exploring new places. 
Coach Chloe

Hi! My name is Chloe and I'm 17 years old, currently a senior in high school and I have been the Junior and Mini All Star Cheer team assitant coach for two years, as well as coaching tumbling and gymnastics classes.

I've been passionate about cheer and gymnastics since I was just 3 years old. I cheered competitively from ages 5 to 15 and was part of my school's cheer program from 7th through 11th grade. Along with cheer, I've also dedicated myself to powerlifting, which I've been involved in since my freshman year. 

After graduation, I plan to continue my education in college with the goal of becoming either a NICU nurse or an ultrasound technician. 

Coach Hanna
Hi there, My name is Hanna Case and I am one of the Mini Mavens All Star Cheer coaches. I have been coaching with Axis for 2 years and have loved seeing the teams develop and grow. It is so rewarding! When I'm not coaching, I work as a Healthcare Community Relations Manager and a pet sitter on the side. I love nature, animals, traveling, shopping, CrossFit and spending time with family.
