More big changes are in the air for the Chesapeake Hawkettes. In addition to adding 11 new ladies to the squad, the Hawkettes are introducing a new coach as well. Angel P has taken over the reins.
Coach Angel, far right, works on the tryout routine with prospective dancers.
Angel brings a professional pedigree, having just retired from the Baltimore Ravens after six seasons-three as captain and in her last year as the only Pro-Bowl/Super bowl cheerleader. She works as a residency coordinator at the Johns Hopkins Hospital radiology department, and was was recently honored by the Bel Air Maryland Board of Town Commissioners Tuesday for her work with the community and with U.S. troops stationed overseas. She traveled to Bahrain and Djibouti in 2010 with the USO to entertain American troops, and works with the Ronald McDonald House, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Harford County Maryland and promotes breast cancer awareness.
“I am extremely excited to take the position as the 2013 Hawkettes director!” She said. “One of my goals was to coach a professional team and pass my knowledge and experience onto upcoming ladies in the professional cheer/dance world. I’m ready to revamp the program this year with more community outreach, cheer and dance clinics for children, and overall success to promote the Hawkettes and the Chesapeake Bayhawks Major League lacrosse team.”
