I would highly recommend Delta Force Athletics! My daughter's cheer and tumbling skills have vastly improved since joining this gym. I previously coached a local competitive recreation cheer team and we didn't have our own gym. DFA opened its doors to us on multiple occasions so our athletes could practice on a real floor in preparation for competition. They even had some of their athletes and coaches review our routine and give us tips on how to improve. I was so impressed with their willingness to help our girls out, that when it was time for my daughter to move up to all-star cheer, I knew DFA would be the perfect home for us. And I was right! We've had a great experience here and we're happy to be part of the Delta Force family! read more

My daughter loves Delta Force Athletics! She is on her 3rd season of competition cheer & has learned so much! We are beyond grateful to have found DFA & cant wait to see what the future holds as a competitive cheerleader! Their aftercare program & summer camps are also amazing! read more

We are on season 5 with DFA. My daughter also goes to the after-school care and goes to all the camps. We absolutely love everything about DFA. All the coaches and staff members are like our extended family. My daughter says all the time that this gym is her 2nd home. She has come so far as an athlete. read more

This is not a safe place for children!!! I had 2 children there for longer than they should have been! my youngest is now out for the season after a broken arm due to the coach being careless. They were also clueless on what to do! she was bleeding with her bone sticking out for far too long before they decided they didn't know what to do and should call an ambulance! Nicole-who writes all the positive reviews and works the front desk did call an ambulance but asked for them to not turn on lights or sirens because they didn't want to alarm anyone. My child was on the floor bleeding from a broken arm for about 1 hour! My other daughter was assaulted by the head coach! Her highschool team still goes to DFA for practice 1x a week. my child does no go because it's obviously toxic and unsafe! "coach" Devin told her teammates she is a bitc* . This grown man calling my 7th grader a female dog is not even cleared to work with kids! The owner is well aware of his red light to work with kids yet still employs him. this place is mentally is physical dangerous for families!! do not go! read more

Delta Force Athletics - Delta Force Athletics is DANGEROUS - Kids Activities Near Me - Summerville, South Carolina

Love this gym! The staff, the facilities, the confidence it has given my kids, and the high standards that they're held to... top notch cheer gym! read more

We switched gyms this year and me shy teen couldn't be happier. The coaches are talented and bring out the best in the athletes. The owner and staff foster a positive inclusive environment that is free of bullying, drama, etc. I give the highest recommendation possible. read more

This is my daughters first year doing competitive cheerleading. We have had nothing but the best experience so far with everyone at Delta Force. We are always greeted by Nichole has soon as we walk in and the owner always stops by the parent room to check in with us and make sure we don't have any concerns about anything. We have had the best experience so far and my daughter has learned a lot and is better at managing her time between her honors classes and cheer. read more

Review Where to start.. We moved from out of state to Summerville. We chose this gym based on previous reviews and being close to where we live. I'm leaving this review to let people know the real experience here. A lot of good reviews you read about this gym Are basically bribed or paid for as we found out later. I don't like leaving bad reviews unless it's truly needed as I'm a business owner as well. The gym is not professional, operates with dysfunctional communication, poor teaching and constant issues with teammates not showing up. Owner seems to be just about the money and doesn't have a reputable cheerleading background. Out of the $150,000 they take in from just the one team my daughter was on they should have coaches and teachers of a higher standard. The worst part about joining the gym is not the money wasted, it is 100% the time my daughter lost becoming a better cheerleader. She can't have that time back and it breaks my heart. We came from a very professional and competitive gym that won THE ONE last year. This gym isn't even close to producing teams like our last one. They don't have proper coaches that can teach the teams. They should be spending the money they are making on real coaches to teach the kids in a professional manner. Thankfully we found the other gym in Charleston that has been amazing since day 1. We actually met her coaches and staff in person the first day, unlike here after 3 months we still never met them. Please save your daughters time and spend it somewhere else. Your daughter will thank you for it later. Cheerleading isn't just about winning, it's about becoming a better, more confident, outgoing person and friend. This gym doesn't teach or give them that :( read more

We joined delta force after reading positive reviews but our real experience was much different. I realized after the fact a lot of the reviews are encouraged to be entered into a raffle for a prize. From the day we joined a team to the day I left I was NEVER introduced to my daughters coaches, I only know one of their names ( the owners daughter- because she made an offensive comment to my daughter). The energy was very negative and the girls were told many times they would be pulled from near competitions if they didn't do better ect. The owner doesn't run the gym in a professional manner and does very little to resolve issues, it seems more about making as much money as possible than seeing the athletes succeed. My daughter cried after almost every practice and was not excited to be an athlete here. I would hate for another athlete or family to be tricked by the positive reviews thousands of dollars into a season. read more

We have been with Rockstar Cheer Charleston since they opened in Mount Pleasant 5 years ago. Last summer, the gym changed locations and ownership, but the coaching staff remained the same. When there was upheaval about the gym being sold (before we knew who the new owner was- we couldn't have been happier with who bought it, btw), the only thing my daughter cared about is that wherever Kendra (the head coach) went is where she wanted to go. Considering that my daughter had her love for cheer destroyed at a previous gym, that says something. Is Kendra tough? Absolutely. She's tough bc she knows what these kids are capable of and pushes them to achieve their goals. Has she had to make hard decisions about which athletes get to shine in certain spots and areas? Of course! That's how you end up with a winning team! Not every single child can be the star at every moment. Sometimes the best athlete for the spot has to be utlilized so that the team does the best they can. It's a TEAM sport. But she does not pick favorites, she is not abusive, and she doesn't destroy their self confidence, or my daughter would be out the door. Kendra, and Cheredia (the owner) have given these girls strong female role models who show them how to overcome adversity, how to how together as a team to achieve their goals, and how to strive for excellence. Not to mention what it shows the girls that women CAN own their own businesses and be successful! We drove nearly an hour each way while the gym was in Mt. Pleasant bc of this program and it's coaches, and still drive half an hour each way now that we've moved to Nexton. And we have no plans to go anywhere else at any point. My daughter is 15 and plans to finish her elite cheer career with Rockstar, Cheredia, and Kendra. read more

See all

I am so hurt by this facility. Today we took our son to the little explorers class at 5:00 ! We were so excited to find a gymnastics class that accepted him because he is almost two . I am not a parent who thinks their child is perfect by any means . This is my sons first class like this so he was excited & had to be told to sit down several times ( which is expected because he isn't two yet ) About 15 minutes into class the instructor in purple snatched our son up ( we were watching on camera ) & went out of view of the camera . After about 30 seconds my husband & I got up to go look for him . When We walked around into the lobby we were met in the middle with the instructor & my son in hand . She was angry & told us our son wasn't allowed back because he couldn't sit still . I explained to the owner this is his first class ever like this so it would probably take 2-3 classes for him to understand . I can't believe how unwelcome they made us feel & I can't believe how angry the instructor was .. I did tell the instructor she was being a bitch after she embarrassed myself & my husband . read more
