At The Arise Gym, we have always believed cheer is about more than routines, scores, and trophies. It is about building confident athletes, strong character, meaningful friendships, and a love for something bigger than themselves.
After much prayer, reflection, and conversations with our families, we are excited to introduce a new direction for our cheer program.
For the 2026–2027 season, we are transitioning from a traditional all-star cheer model to a recreational competitive cheer program designed to better serve our athletes and families.
This is not a step back. It is a step forward.
A Better Experience for Families
We know families today are balancing a lot. School, church, family time, and other activities all matter. Cheer should enhance your life, not overwhelm it.
Our new program is built with that in mind.
Families will experience:
- A more manageable schedule
- Fewer travel demands
- Flexibility for vacations, school events, church and other commitments
- A healthier balance between sports and family life
We want athletes to pursue their passion for cheer while still having time to be kids and enjoy the moments that matter most.
High Quality Without the High Pressure
While we are reducing stress, we are not lowering standards.
Athletes will still receive:
- Strong coaching focused on technique and skill development
- Performance opportunities throughout the season
- Team-building experiences that create lasting memories
- A positive, encouraging environment where every athlete is valued
Our focus is not on pressure or perfection. It is on growth, confidence, and doing your best.
Affordable and Transparent
One of the biggest barriers to all-star cheer is cost. We believe more families should have access to a high-quality cheer experience.
Our program offers:
- Simple, monthly pricing
- No large block fees
- Lower overall season costs
- Fundraising opportunities to help offset expenses
We are committed to keeping cheer affordable while still delivering an incredible experience.
Faith and Character at the Center
At The Arise Gym, our mission goes beyond athletics. Watch this video to learn more about our 2026-2027 season.
Through partnerships like FCC (Fellowship of Christian Cheerleaders), and through the culture inside our gym, athletes will be encouraged to:
- Support and uplift one another
- Develop confidence rooted in who they are, not just what they do
- Grow in leadership, kindness, and integrity
We believe who they become matters just as much as what they achieve.
A Place Where Every Athlete Belongs
Our program is designed for all athletes.
Whether your child is new to cheer or has years of experience, there is a place for them at The Arise Gym. Teams are built thoughtfully with a focus on development, teamwork, and creating the right environment for each athlete to thrive.
We are building something special. A program where athletes are known, valued, and supported.
Join Us for the 2026–2027 Season
Tryouts are coming up on May 30th and June 27th, and we would love for your family to be part of this next chapter.
This season is about more than cheer. It is about creating a positive, encouraging, and meaningful experience for every athlete who walks through our doors.
If you are looking for a program that values family, builds confidence, and keeps the joy in cheer, The Arise Gym is the place for you.
