We offer beginning cheer in our Cheer Academy, which begins instruction with Kinder Cheer for 4 to 6 year olds. We also have Tumbling classes and Cheer I and Cheer II for grade school age students. Our teachers will bring cheer to life with fun moves and motions for each student to learn. For the serious cheer student, Xtreme All-Star squads are our competitive year-round cheer program. Students must try-out for positions on each All-Star squad. Our teachers will also create a custom cheer class for a school cheer squad that wants help on any area of cheer. Let our experienced cheer staff help your cheerleader be all she can be!

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.

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.

The most accomplished cheerleaders are also tumblers. Whether they’re just beginning or already have tumbling skills, Gym Magic’s staff can help students polish what they know and acquire new acrobatic and tumbling moves. Cheer Tumbling is a great class for students who want to advance to Cheer I or II, or to try-out for our All Star Competitive Squads. It’s also a fantastic option for students interested in trying out for their school cheer squads.

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.
