This was our first year doing a cheerleading program. My grand-daughter had never done any dance, tumbling or organized sports. I asked for recommendations and got mixed reviews from don't sign up to one person saying it's a good place. I take a chance and attended the new member sign up meeting, show up and people are sitting around, one of the owners spends the whole 30 minute meeting talking about money, booster club participation,being on time for practices and uniforms prices. So we joined and the nightmare began. My child was thrown on a team with 8 other girls who had been doing cheer for 3 years. There was zero tumbling or guidance. We were at the gym four nights a week between cheer practice and trying to learn tumbling. Tumbling classes were a joke, there was no instruction except for the kids who could already do tumbling and stunts. I have video where my daughter was out over in a corner with a mat and left to do roll overs alone. This organization is also expensive, you pay $100 a month plus and additional $200 a month for uniforms and competition fees. Often when I would arrive the owners/coaches were in the office and kids that had been dropped off were running in and out of the building unsupervised. Often they would be doing stunts on the concrete floor in the waiting area. The kids that just began and have less talent then the ones who have been going for numerous years aren't really taught anything, they are put in the back of the group at competitions so that they won't interfere with the win. When you attend competitions, you not given any meeting points. You just told to be at the venue at blank time. Not given and central point to join up with the group. They will say "all information is on the group me" no it was not and when you send messages you don't get responses. This place is about winning and money not about and nurturing good athletes. read more

Cheer Pro Athletics - Cheerleading Near Me - Millbrook, Alabama

Cheer Pro athletics is a horrible organization! They are favor kids who have skills and if your kids doesn't pick up on it fast enough they are pushed to the side. They offer many different opportunities for everyone; including tumbling class and all-star competitive cheerleading. They really very expensive for the crappy teaching you get. You are always being asked to raise more money. They say they offer tumbling, but it is a class where you kid goes and does their own thing while the " so called instructor ( which is usually a high school kid) works with those who can do tumbling and the other kids are left to run around. Noth8ng is divided by skill category. Kids who are just beginning are out in with kids who have been doing it for years and the kids who don't have the skills yet are pushed to the side and ignored. I have video of my child being put 8n a corner on a mat by herself while the rest of the students practiced stunts. Communication is horrible. Half the time the owners are held up in the office and the kids are doing tumbling in the waiting are on concrete floors. The only emails you get is when they need you to raise money. There IS NO COMMUNICATION IN REGARDS TO COMPETITION SCHEDULES, WHERE TO MEET, ACTIVITIES BEFORE OR AFTER COMPETITION. We had a competition in Biloxi MS and the moms all went out drinking. There was no coordination for girls to do anything. When you arrive at a competition site, there was no direction on where to meet, and any messages sent in group me were ignored by Kelly and Kayla, heck other moms didn't even respond. The staff are only concerned with winning and will crush a child's spirit in the process. My child was overweight and couldn't do cart wheels. She was placed in the back of the group and made to squat, or they would move her to the middle to hold up a smaller child. She wasn't given any opportunity to " participate". They push the girls so hard, that 5 & 6 year olds were crying when they finished in second place. I saw a dad go off on Kelly one day because she had his 4 year old running laps because she had on a wrong practice uniform. However the mom had an email from Kayla saying the uniform was white for the day and Kelly said it was black and that the 4 year old should have remembered. THE OWNERS COULDN'T EVEN COMMUNICATE ON THE RIGHT COLOR OF UNIFORM BUT THEY EXPECTED A 4 year OLD TO KNOW!!!! THERE IS ZERO COMMUNICATION UNLESS YOU A CHOSEN FEW. You will see emails saying this is a great place, but these are mothers that went out drinking at competitions and are in a click, anyone not permitted in DOESNT get information. There were 5 of us moms that were knew this year that had no idea where or when things were happening until it had happened. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! There are much better places. read more
