Jessica Paolucci
Jessica Paolucci's journey in cheerleading began back in high school along with her love for dance. Her passion took her to be a part of a few professional local teams in the Rochester area. This foundation laid the groundwork for her coaching philosophy: every cheerleader deserves to shine, both on and off the mat.
As a proud mom of three, she understands the importance of nurturing not just skilled athletes, but also well-rounded individuals. I strive to create an environment where athletes can flourish, make lasting friendships, and grow to their fullest potential!

Julie Pier
Coach Julie is a dedicated nurse, former dance instructor, and passionate coach with a lifelong love for dance and cheer. Dancing since the age of three, Julie has honed her skills and creativity over the years, earning numerous choreography awards.
After taking a step away from the competitive scene, Coach Julie’s love for the sport was reignited through recreational cheerleading. This led her back into coaching and teaching, where she found her passion again—guiding young athletes to grow in both skill and confidence.

Youth Half Year Coach
Brieana Benedict
My passion for cheerleading began at the age of eight and carried me all the way through high school. I’ve always loved the thrill of stepping onto the mat—the energy, the teamwork, and the unforgettable moments that come with it.
Now, as a mother of two, my family has found our cheer home with ROC Rarity. I know how important it is to feel comfortable, supported, and accepted, and I’m grateful to be part of a program that truly embodies those values.
I’m excited to watch every athlete grow both on and off the mat and to help create the same positive, confidence-building experiences that cheer has always given me
