WHY TRAIN

"Competitive" cheerleading has become just that... extremely competitive, athletic, and more challenging.  Skills become more advanced, routines become more intense and the forces, loads, and repetitive stress on the body become greater.  Cheerleading is also extremely unique compared to many other sports in that the physical attributes required to excel span many areas of fitness: Strength, power and speed are pinnacle components of basing and tumbling; Tumbling and flying require speed, quickness, and flexibility; all of these positions require stamina and endurance but also short bursts of high intensity anaerobic alactic energy.  It's a sport of strength, gymnastics, dance, acrobatics, and performance.  It's a lot of everything and it requires a very specific balance of proper training.

​​

Last but not least, training will not only improve your strength, power, speed, quickness, stamina, balance, and flexitility... it will also prevent injury!!  Training is a critical component to keeping athletes healthy and active.

new program

launch

Online Youth Cheer Athlete Development Academy

In lieu of recent events and the challenging times athletes are being forced to go through we have made the decision to launch Online Youth Cheer Athlete Development Academy and offer huge discounts and incentives at the same time.  Our reasons for doing so are to give all young Cheer athletes the opportunity to keep being "athletes" through this difficult time!  They may have to be off the mats and out of open gyms but that doesn't mean training has to stop.  This is still a great chance to become stronger, fitter, more explosive, more flexible, and to learn more about the science behind training and performance as it relates to cheer.  

​

Young athletes now have access to cutting edge strength & conditioning alongside valuable information regarding biomechanics, nutrition, mental training, etc.
