Cheer Academy
Gym Magic offers beginning cheer classes through our Cheer Academy, including Kinder Cheer for 4- to 6-year olds and our school-age cheer program, Cheer I and II. All cheer classes utilize our cheer floor, which is springloaded, foam padded and carpeted for added safety and comfort. Our coaches also use gymnastics mats and in-ground trampolines to safely teach tumbling skills. Safety is our first priority, so all coaches are trained to spot and teach skills in gradual progressions. No matter which cheer class your child takes, they’ll receive high quality instruction emphasizing team work, individual growth and of course fun!
Kinder Cheer for 4- to 6-year olds
Kinder Cheer is a fun introduction to cheerleading for 4- to 6-year-olds. Classes meet once per week for 50 minutes and teach age-appropriate cheerleading skills: motions, jumps, cheers, beginning stunts and dance, plus introductory tumbling. Classes follow dedicated lesson plans and utilize a student:teacher ratio of 8 to 1. At the end of every term, students perform a routine incorporating the skills they learned. Kinder Cheerleaders build a solid foundation that will prepare them to advance to Cheer I or II.
Cheer I for 1st Graders and Up
Cheer I is a beginning cheer class for students in first grade and older. Classes meet once or twice per week for 60 minutes. The routines, cheers and skills taught in Cheer I are more advanced and the dance is faster than in Kinder Cheer, but the class still emphasizes coordination and all the skills necessary to become a great cheerleader. Each class follows a series of lesson plans created to teach proper progressions for the required skills. Each student receives individual attention since classes have a student:teacher ratio of 8 to 1. Students perform a cheer routine at the end of every term.
Cheer II for 1st Graders and Up
Cheer II teaches the skills needed to try out for a cheer team, whether at Gym Magic or at a public school. Students refine their jumps, cheer skills, dance and tumbling plus learn new skills. Cheer II cheerleaders perfect their cartwheels, round-offs and kickovers, and when ready begin training for standing back handsprings and round-off back handsprings. Classes meet once or twice per week for 60 minutes.
