About Coach Kaleigh
Limb Difference: Congenital
Type: Right Arm, Below Elbow
Sport: Cheer + Tumbling
Kaleigh was born in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Despite being born
without two full arms, she developed a passion for gymnastics that later
transferred to a love for cheerleading. When Kaleigh was sixteen years
old, her parents discovered the NubAbility Athletics Foundation by
chance, and they wanted their daughter to experience Nub Camp for the
first time.
As a camper, Kaleigh showcased her skills as a cheerleading and
talent for mentoring the younger girls at camp. NubAbility Athletics’
Coach Team recognized her passion for the sport and brought her on as a
Junior Coach the next year. Since then, Kaleigh has become the Co-Head
Cheer coach for NubAbility and continues to encourage campers to own
their differences and compete in mainstream sports.

“NubAbility gives kids the opportunity to embrace their uniqueness, and
it gives our campers the opportunity to engage in sports that they
wouldn’t have the opportunity to otherwise. I so am proud to be a part
of this organization!” - Coach Kaleigh
