Coach G

Cecily Gilson (a.k.a. Coach G) is a P.E. Teacher in the Del Mar School District where she teaches elementary age levels at Del Mar Hills. She has been leading private PE classes in her spare time for over two years now.

Coach G's teaching style constantly adapts with the kid's interests and the newest trends while also incorporating foundational and state-of-the-art teaching standards and techniques. She prioritizes fun and exercise, but developing motor skills, social queues, and teamwork underpin her lesson plans.

She's not just a teacher! Coach G was a standout athlete at Poway High School and went to Sacramento State University where she ran track, competing against Division 1 sprinters in the 100, 200, and 400-meter events. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Sac State with a degree in Kinesiology and an emphasis in Physical Education, Coaching, and Conditioning. She also is a regular at F45 Fitness!

Cecily started Something Active in 2022.

Coach G had to get creative teaching PE over Zoom during COVID. It’s a lot easier in person but we don’t have any videos of that so here are some videos of a couple follow-along dance activities she made for a few classes during quarantine (there are MANY more).
