CoreAthletics was founded by Todd and Ellen Kopp in 2005. Todd Kopp has been involved in cheering for 14 years, ever since his middle daughter, Valen, first took up the sport in middle school. But it was his youngest daughter, Kelsie that inspired him to get involved in the cheer industry.

"I came home to find Kelsie perched on the arm of the couch trying to do a heel stretch. I worried about her falling -- not to mention breaking the couch -- and figured there had to be a better way for her to practice. So I went down to my workshop and started tinkering and that's how I came up with the prototype for the MaeFlyer.

A few weeks after Kelsie began practicing with the MaeFlyer her coach noticed Kelsie's balance and leg strength had improved so much she was sticking all her stunts. Kelsie's coach wanted to know what our secret was. So I told her about the MaeFlyer. The coach ordered a bunch for her squad. I took a few samples to our next competition and by the end of the weekend I had received dozens of orders. That's how CoreAthletics got its start."

That was 5 years ago. Since then, CoreAthletics has continued to develop new, innovative, easy-to-use products, such as the DeFrogger, the StuntStrap, the HandSpring Trainer, the SplitFlex and our new FaST Band product. Today, CoreAthletics' training tools have proven effective in a broad spectrum of youth sports and our products have crossed over into mixed martial arts, football, hockey and more. Our athletic training tools help coaches train better. But, what we're most proud of is helping young athletes train safely.
