Introduction to Tumbling & Basic Gymnastics
Every Rec Cheer session includes age-appropriate tumbling instruction. Athletes learn fundamental gymnastics skills like forward rolls, backward rolls, and cartwheels on our specialized cheer floors. We focus heavily on proper technique and safety, ensuring your child develops skills effectively as they progress from beginner to confident tumbler.
Mastering Stunt Basics & Teamwork
Stunting is where teamwork truly shines! Athletes are introduced to foundational stunting positions, including bases, flyers, and spotters, learning how to safely lift and balance one another. This component teaches crucial communication, trust, and responsibility, all essential life skills taught within our dynamic Rec Cheer classes.
Choreography & High-Energy Dance
The dance portion of the program is designed to be high-energy and exciting! Our coaches teach basic choreography, focusing on rhythm, sharp motions, and performance presence. This section helps athletes develop their sense of timing and expressiveness, preparing them for the thrill of performing in front of an audience.
The Exciting End-of-Session Showcase
The highlight of every Rec Cheer session is the opportunity to showcase newfound skills to friends and family. This celebratory performance gives every athlete a chance to shine and feel proud of their hard work in a supportive setting. It’s a wonderful moment that proves how much they've learned and grown over the session!
Perfecting Jumps & Cheer Motions
Learning crisp cheer motions and powerful jumps is vital for any cheerleader. We focus on technique for common jumps like the Toe Touch and the Hurdler, helping athletes increase their height and flexibility. These drills help build explosiveness and endurance, which are beneficial for all sports and physical activities.

It's been a great way to get him into sports and exercising and it's also been a good way for him to socialize and play with the other little ninjas."
