Melissa Fraley 
Girl's Xcel  Team Coach 

Melissa is a welcomed addition to the Impact Team family.  She recently graduated with a masters degree in education.  In September 2019, she took her first job as a school counselor in the Franklin NH School District.  Despite her full-time work there, she decided that her passion for gymnastics and coaching was too much to keep her away from the sport.

Lucky for us, she is one of our Girl's team coaches at Impact.  Prior to coaching at Impact, Melissa coached a Junior Olympic Girl's Team, where she excelled as a compulsory coach... teaching beautiful lines and sound technique- all in an atmosphere of fun!  Melissa loves going to meets to "see the girls' hard work pay off."   
One of her best skills as a coach is that she works hard (and is successful) at building strong connections with each of the girls that she coaches.  For fun, she loves spending time with her dog, Ace! ​
