Maria Luiza - Purple Group (Pre-K)

Hi, I’m Maria Luiza! I’ve always enjoyed being around kids and helping them learn, play, and feel supported. I’m patient, creative, and responsible, and I do my best to be a positive role model. Whether I’m helping with schoolwork, playing games, or just listening, I try to make sure every child feels seen and safe. Working with kids has taught me a lot, and I’m excited to keep growing and learning more in this field.

I’m here to create a joyful, safe, and engaging space where every child feels seen and celebrated.

Rebecca

Rebecca - Sky Group (Kinder)

Hi! My name is Rebecca Pereira, and I’m the assistant group coach for the Sage group at Super Kickers. I grew up attending Super Kickers after-school and summer programs, and those experiences planted the seeds for so many of my current interests, from soccer to music and beyond. The positive environment I had as a kid inspired me to return as a coach and help create that same space for today’s campers.

I love working with kids because it’s so rewarding to watch them grow, whether they’re discovering new passions, building confidence through challenges, or just having fun learning new things. Outside of camp, I enjoy playing soccer, playing guitar, reading, and baking!

Maria Eduarda

Jahmeria - Sky Group (Kinder)

Hi! I'm Coach Mera, and I'm so excited to be a part of your child's summer. I'm a college student on the path to law school, but during the summer, I trade textbooks for teamwork because working with kids brings me a joy no classroom ever could. Inspired by mentors I had growing up, I get a balance of structure, fun, and care for everything I do--whether that's leading games, cheering on small wins, or listening to big imaginations. I believe that encouragement and patience go a long way, and I never lost my sense of wonder, humor, or love for games like freeze tag or dance. I'm excited to help make this a fun, safe, and memorable summer for your child.

Drama/Theater & Voice

Allison

Coach Allison - Drama/Theater & Voice

Hello! My name is Coach Allison, and I teach Drama/Theater and Voice at Super Kickers. I was born and raised in New Hampshire, but have lived in Jackson Heights for over a decade. After graduating from Syracuse University with a BFA in Theater, I moved to NYC where I worked as a professional stage actress for over 15 years. After having my son, I got my Masters in Applied Theater, and have been working as a teaching artist in NYC schools, creating theater-based arts programming and working in classrooms with elementary-aged students. 

Theater and voice can be powerful tools in the development of children's social-emotional skills, their resilience, self-esteem, creativity, and teamwork. During our camp classes, we will use different activities, exercises, and games to explore how we can use our bodies, voices, and imaginations to tell stories, create characters, collaborate, and express ourselves. My hope is that all children, whether they are “theater kids” or not, find my classes to be a space of joy and self-expression. I look forward to seeing you and your children this summer!

Sophia - Tumbling

Hi! I’m Sophia, one of the gymnastics coaches here at camp, and I also work with our PreK kids. I enjoy working with kids because they are so fun to talk to, full of energy, and just so loving. My mom inspired me to work here because she loves working with kids, and I wanted to follow in her footsteps by making a positive impact too.

The activity I’m most passionate about coaching is gymnastics. I did competitive gymnastics for four years, and now I do competitive cheerleading, but I still love teaching gymnastics whenever I can. My favorite part about coaching gymnastics is seeing the kids get excited when they learn a new skill and build confidence in themselves. It’s so rewarding to watch them discover their strength and see how proud they are when they reach their goals.

One fun fact about me is that I can do a standing back tuck on the ground! Outside of camp, I love cheerleading, going to the beach with my friends, watercolor painting, and diving for sea shells at the beach.

I hope campers leave my classes feeling confident, strong, and excited to keep learning new things, not just in gymnastics but in everything they try. I want them to know it’s okay to be nervous about new skills and that it’s important to keep trying and believe in themselves. I can’t wait to make memories with all of you this summer!

Bounce House

John Escalas

John - Bounce House

​​My name is John or as most of the kids know me as coach broccoli and I am the Bounce house activity coach. I enjoy working with kids because I am very extroverted and love to talk to all different types of people so I want the kids to feel like they can be their true selves and feel free to talk and have fun with not only me but at this camp. What inspired me to work as coaching was being able to teach something to a new generation of kids while bring joy to not only their faces but their families as well. I personally love being a group coach, interacting with all the kids making sure everyone is included and always having fun but due to the fact that I could run many activities, I decided to be the bounce house activity coach because I can make everyone feel included and make sure everyone is safe as well. What I love about working with children is that I could affect them in a positive way so if they're going through something or just feel down for no reason cause they do sometimes, I could always talk to them and make them view everything in a more positive way. One interesting fact that the campers might like to know is that if you talk to me about food we might talk for the whole entire class so be careful. My hobbies outside of camp is that I'm studying to be an architect, I play soccer occasionally and like to eat somewhere new when I can. What I hope the campers take away from their experience with me whether they stayed one week or stayed the whole entire camp is that they had fun with me whether they were in a whole group activity in the bounce or a one on one chat, that they were able to just feel free to be a kid and have fun.

STEAM & Osmo

Das

Das - STEAM & Osmo

Hi my name is Coach Das, or Coach Strawberry, and I'll be the activity coach for STEAM and OSMO for this year's summer camp. I have been at SuperKickers for over a year now and it is a pleasure to be back for my second summer camp.

I joined the camp since I grew up going to PS69 and I thought it would be nice to work locally. At the time I had been a tutor for a couple years so I was excited to run my own classes. Working with the kids was immediately the best experience. They have the best energy and are always so open to learning and sharing. I feel like working with them has me a better communicator and listener.

Outside of camp, I am an engineering student at NYU. And I love playing basketball, watching movies, and I am trying to read. Recently I have been trying to save up to travel more.

As the STEAM and OSMO coach, the kids are mostly going to be working on science experiments. They will learn how to make invisible ink to become a spy, build rockets, and of course make slime. I am excited about the all the experiments and activities planned and I hope the kids enjoy them.

If the students could take one thing away from my class I hope they remember having fun. I also hope they get better at cleaning up because the experiments can be messy. I remember doing some of these experiments as a kid so it is really cool to share that with everyone at camp and pay it forward.
