Mel Knobloch, coach of Dordt Cheer & Dance, joins Defender Discussions for this week's episode! Knobloch was hired in 2015 to lead the Dordt Dance Team in its inception as a club sport. Now a varsity sport, Dordt dance has been competing at the state, conference, and national levels. In addition to the dance team, Dordt has added cheer to the list of varsity sports offered this year, a sport that Mel is also leading. Mel graduated from Dordt University (formerly Dordt College) in 2009 with a degree in physical education and recreation.
