Listilynn Boyce

Youth Coach

Growing up, you could always find Listilynn dancing and flipping around the house. As a teenager, she decided to join gymnastics, but the sport was missing something for her, which lead to Listilynn trying out for the Canby High School cheer team. Listilynn's passion for coaching developed during her senior year of high school. She helped teammates learn and grow in their role as a cheerleader and from that point on, Listilynn knew coaching was her passion. Listilynn started her coaching career with Nelson's Junior Cheer program and is excited to continue her coaching journey with West Linn Youth.

Outside of coaching, you'll find Listilynn snuggled up in a blanket with a cup of hot cocoa and a good book. She also has a pet bunny, named Ruby.

Listilynn looks forward to a new season with WLYC!
