Kevin Pat Fong

Hello everyone,

My name is Kevin and this is my first year coaching Kingston Elite.

I cheered for 6 years at Simon Fraser University in BC - one year on the White team and 5 years on the Red Team. I was part of the SFU team which came 4th at Nationals - the first time a BC team broke into the top 5!

I am currently cheering on the Queen's Cheerleading team and am on my second year of PH.D in French studies.

An interesting fact about me: I was born and raised in Mauritius, a small island in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

Michael Groves

I am excited to be entering my sixth year as a head coach with KE for the Senior All-Girl team. My goal for this year is to build upon the previous year’s success by promoting important values such as teamwork, confidence, sportsmanship, attention to detail, and a healthy lifestyle. Not only will this be useful for the team as they earn many awards over the course of the season, but will also serve as a foundation to approach any challenge they may collectively or individually face in the future.

I am originally from Kelowna, BC, but moved to Vancouver to complete a B.Sc. in Physics at the University of British Columbia. During my undergraduate studies I became a member of UBC Cheerleading where I competed with them for three years. I have since moved to Kingston where I have completed an M.Sc in Physics at Queen’s University and am now working towards a PhD at RMC in Chemical and Material Engineering. While at Queen's, I competed with Queen’s Cheerleading.
