Angela Urban is entering her first year with the NCATA staff as the Education Coordinator.
Angela has coached gymnastics and cheerleading disciplines for fifteen years. She has been involved with Acrobatics and Tumbling since the inception of the sport. For the past ten years she has served as an assistant Acrobatics & Tumbling coach at Oregon and at Baylor.
Her tenure at the University of Oregon included serving as both the assistant coach and director of operations. Her Ducks team won the NCATA National Champion title four years in a row. More recently, Urban was the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Baylor University, during which the team won the national title five NCATA National Championships.
Angela attended Kennesaw State University where she earned her degree in Exercise and Health Science in 2008. She her master’s degree in Sport Management from West Virginia University in 2015.
Growing up, Angela was a gymnast for ten years at Gymnastics Academy of Atlanta, and at age fifteen began all-star cheerleading for Stingray All-Stars in Georgia. Acrobatics and Tumbling did not yet exist during her college career, so Urban chose to compete for the Kennesaw State University’s competitive cheer team. Although she enjoyed her collegiate experience, she never got to compete as a varsity student athlete. Because of this, Angela is passionate about introducing Acrobatics and Tumbling to athletes across the country so they can have an opportunity to compete at the varsity level in the skill sets they have trained their entire lives.
