Show Teams

Target Age: 2 – 9

Level: Beginner

Season Length: 11 weeks max

Practice: 1 day per week (1 hour)

Our Show Teams are the perfect introduction to cheer! Designed for our youngest athletes, this program focuses on fun, fundamentals, and building confidence in a positive environment. Athletes learn basic motions, jumps, beginner stunts, and performance skills while preparing for a special showcase for friends and family. It’s a low-commitment way to experience the excitement of cheer and explore the foundations of competition concepts.

Novice Teams

Target Age: 4 – 11

Level: Beginner / New to the Sport/ Shorter Commitment

Season: August – April

Practice: 2 days per week (1 hour each)

Our Novice teams are ideal for athletes who are new to competitive cheer or looking for a shorter, family-friendly commitment. Competing at Level 1, Novice athletes receive rankings at each event, with the exciting goal of improving their performance and placement from one competition to the next.

It’s all about progress, confidence, and having fun along the way!

Novice teams follow a modified version of our Prep/ Elite competition schedule, allowing athletes to experience the excitement of top-tier events while maintaining flexibility for busy families.

Prep TEAMS

Target Ages: 6 and up

Level: Competitive Prep

Season: June – April

Practice: 2 days per week (1–1.5 hours each)

Our Prep Teams are designed for dedicated athletes ready for a more serious commitment and the thrill of competitive cheer. These teams focus on mastering strong fundamentals, skill progression, teamwork, and performance quality.

Athletes compete regional and attend national-level event(s), gaining valuable experience on bigger stages. With a balanced schedule and strong training focus, Prep offers the perfect bridge between Novice and Elite competition.

Elite TEAMS

Target Age: 6 and up

Level: Levels 1–6

Season: June – April

Practice: 2 days per week + 1 additional Strength & Conditioning day

Includes: 3 showcases + 5–7 competitions (local, regional + national travel)

Our Elite Teams are for athletes ready for a full-year commitment and the thrill of top-level competition. These teams train at a higher intensity level, focusing on advanced stunts, tumbling, performance quality, and precision.

Elite athletes compete both locally and nationally at premier events and consistently perform on some of the biggest stages in the sport.

Elite teams should plan to finish their season with an unforgettable post-season event:

      • Mini/Youth-aged teams: The Regional Summit, Youth Summit, or Travel Event
      • Junior & Senior Teams: The D2 Summit
      • Worlds Team (L6 Senior) : The Cheerleading Worlds

These championship events are true highlights of the season and an incredible reward for a year of hard work.

Would never have made it as far as I did without the coaches, facility, and athletes! Thanks to them I can now call myself a three time college cheerleading National Champion. They open up doors for all athletes and truly care about the success of each athlete. I owe MY success to these people and that gym will always have my heart! - Shannon
