OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE.

In 2022, we recognized the need for a competition cheerleading program geared towards recreational performances in Central Pennsylvania.  We set out to build an organization that is mindful of athlete burnout, affordable for our families and focuses on improvement over placement.

​

We welcomed 48 athletes into our family in our first season!  Our three teams earned 14 1st place finishes, six 2nd place finishes and six 3rd place+ finishes.  Our 10-18 team improved TWELVE POINTS from the start of their season while our 8U team won Best Stunts for an overall competition and 1st place while competing in a 10U division AND our 6U team improved SEVEN POINTS from the start of their season!  We were incredibly proud of their growth in Season One and couldn't wait to see what Season Two had in store.

Season Two showed incredible growth in numbers as we jumped to 70 athletes joining the program!  We expanded to four teams (6U, 8U, 10U and 12-18) and tried a few new competitions outside of our regular schedule, which proved to be a huge success!  Our teams beat their end of year scores from Season One by their SECOND COMPETITION of Season Two!  Our athletes earned 28 1st place finishes, 7 2nd place finishes, 7 3rd+ finishes, Best Dance, a Golden Ticket to the US Finals, the Sportsmanship Award TWICE, Best Fans and 4 National Championships!
