Coaching Staff

Curtis WhiteCurtis White is in his twelfth year as head coach of Penn State's cheerleading program and has more than nineteen years of coaching experience at both the high school and collegiate levels. Coach White is a certified judge for both the national high school and national all-star cheerleading championships; he is certified by the USA Gymnastics Federation. His Penn State cheerleading squads have won two national championships. In the past ten years, Penn State cheerleaders have been recognized nationally for their ability to get the Penn State crowd to support their sport teams.

Sue SherburneSue Sherburne is in her eleventh year as adviser for the Penn State Lionettes Dance Team. Her experience with both cheerleading and studio dance motivated her to get involved with dance at the collegiate level. Sue has judged both Cheerleaders of America and Universal Dance Association regional and national high school competitions. In the past eight years the Lionettes have been visible on the sidelines at Beaver Stadium and have represented Penn State on CBS Sports with their top ten finishes at nationals. Although the Lionettes get a great deal of national media exposure, their proudest accomplishment is their ability to compete at a national level while staying true to their mission of representing Penn State with class and pride.

The remainder of the staff will be made up of college coaches, former collegiate cheerleaders, and cheerleaders presently on the Penn State squad.
