Since beginning homeschooling several years ago, many wonderful individuals have significantly invested in her family's lives. Finding the Cougars organization, with its Christ-centered focus integrated into all aspects of its activities, brought her immense joy. Eager to give back and support the organization's mission of nurturing young men and women for Jesus, she volunteered her bookkeeping expertise as treasurer. Through this role, she hopes to repay a small portion of the abundant blessings God has given her family and to further the Cougars' impactful work for Christ.

Kirsten has been a part of the Gallatin Valley Cougar Community for a few years supporting other family members first. This will be her daughters’ third year of basketball. Kirsten was the assistant coach for 7/8 girls basketball last year, then stepped into being Secretary for GVCHSA. She is excited to see where the Lord will continue to bring the Cougars as a blessing to other teams in our valley and our state.

Tracie VanOmmen has been involved with the Cougars since 2010 when her oldest son was a member of the middle school basketball team.  She has served in a volunteer capacity since then.  She appreciates the mission and vision that the Cougars hold.  All of her kids have benefitted from the concentration on character and the investment of the coaches to help hold the athletes to a high standard of integrity.  She has enjoyed serving as the Member at Large on the board, understanding that her role is to continue to uphold the value of the Cougars, endear the organization to the community and most importantly cover the Athletes and families in prayer.  Tracie welcomes any and all suggestions for helping to make the Cougar organization a solid opportunity for growing Christian athletes who understand teamwork and a strong work ethic.
