Cheer Coach Dresses for Role
Willow Grove Bears cheerleading coach Steve Hurley is always willing to show a little leg to support his cheerleading squad.
Steve Hurley seems to be everyone's favorite cheerleading coach and he isn't afraid to dress the part.
Cristine Rizzo, whose 8-year-old daughter cheered with Hurley's 5- to 7-year-old squad, said it's always been common for Hurley, who also coaches football for the Willow Grove Bears Football Club, to wear the cheer uniform during spirit awards and other important cheer functions.
"All the girls loved it," Rizzo said.
Hurley's wife, Meg, said her husband got started as a cheer coach when their daughter Emma's team was without a coach several years ago. Now 9, Emma has moved onto the next level and her dad is coaching her little sister Addison, 6, and about 20 other young cheerers.
