what is cheerleading

CHEERLEADING IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING SPORTS IN THE WORLD. IT TEACHES ATHLETES HOW TO STUNT, TUMBLE, JUMP AND DANCE IN A HIGH ENERGY, FAST PACED ROUTINE WHILE ALSO BEING A PART OF A TEAM SPORT. CHEER BRINGS SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUR ATHLETE TO GROW AND CREATE LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS.

CHEERLEADING IS A SPORT THAT REQUIRES DEDICATION, COMMITMENT, AND TEAMWORK. THE ATHLETES WORK TOGETHER TO EXECUTE THEIR ROUTINE, RELYING ON EACH OTHER TO PERFORM THEIR BEST. IN ADDITION TO THE PHYSICAL SKILLS, CHEERLEADING ALSO TEACHES IMPORTANT LIFE SKILLS SUCH AS LEADERSHIP, COMMUNICATION, AND GOAL SETTING.

ONE OF THE GREATEST BENEFITS OF CHEERLEADING IS THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY IT CREATES. CHEERLEADING TEAMS ARE LIKE FAMILIES, WITH ATHLETES SUPPORTING AND ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER BOTH ON AND OFF THE MAT. THIS CAMARADERIE OFTEN EXTENDS BEYOND THE CHEER SEASON, WITH MANY ATHLETES MAINTAINING LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS WITH THEIR TEAMMATES

Alpha Athletics is more like a family than a cheer gym. My daughter was ready to give up on cheer until she attended trials at Alpha. By the time she had walked out, her passion had been fired up. The coaching team not only concentrates on the success of the team but also focuses on hard work, skill development and increasing athlete confidence. They teach the athletes to celebrate highs together and also support each other through tough times without passing judgement. Moving to Alpha has been an extremely positive journey that I am glad we have made.

My daughter has been coached by Bek & Gareth now for 5 years and she absolutely loves it. The coaches are amazing, supportive, encouraging and they challenge the athletes to reach their full potential.  Over the years, my daughter has developed her cheerleading skills and become a confident and talented performer, she has also learnt valuable life lessons such as teamwork and discipline over this time. Bek & Gareth have created an environment where my daughter feels included and comfortable where she has made lasting friendships with her teammates. I cannot recommend Alpha Athletics enough, it is a great place for you child to grow and learn.

We decided to take a ‘risk’ on joining Alpha Athletics in their inaugural year because they were closer to home. We knew nothing of Bek and Gareth despite being in cheer for a number of years at different gyms. What we have found is a supportive, active friendship group for my daughter who feels understood and loved by her teammates and coaches. And whom she loves right back. Bek and Gareth have created a supportive base because they love cheer and anyone else who loves cheer. I wholeheartedly recommend Alpha Cheer for your child’s social and wellbeing development as well as feeling comfortable as a parent to exposing my child to such positive influences.

Fantastic coaching, family feel! Alpha athletics have provided my girls with a safe, fun and encouraging place to cheer. The dedication and support provided to the athletes is fantastic. My girls have been developed so many new skills and opportunities to grow. Having a separate tumble class and flyer classes has given the girls addition flexibility. I would 100% recommend alpha do for both recreational and allstar cheers. Look forward to many more year with alpha and their amazing team and the cheer family they have created.
