Our Program

More than a team. a family.

Our recreational programs are stepping stones — practice once a week, perform at least three times a season, and learn the foundation of the sport in a high-energy environment.

Our prep-level competitive program is for athletes with a passion for cheer who want to take it further: two practices per week, at least two competitions across the Midwest, and a real shot at a banner.
