Not only are the owners and coaches of SSA incredible people who genuinely care about their athletes, they’re amazing at their craft and push these girls to be the very best they can be, on AND off the mat. You won’t find training and preparation like this anywhere else. I’ve seen it firsthand from girls not making school squads to coming back and being captain after being trained at SSA. I’ve seen it in my daughter, whose confidence, skill level and sheer strength grew indescribably. There’s no better way than SSA!

Awesome gym. Even better coaches. My daughter loves it and is still building on her skills in her 9th year of cheerleading. Great atmosphere, safety, and absolutely ZERO drama, which is amazing in this sport. HIGHLY recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re looking for a cheer program that delivers results while keeping the fun in focus, SSA Cheer is the place to be! With Coach Mel’s guidance, my cheerleader has made more progress in tumbling in just four months than she did in four years of gymnastics. The environment is professional, fun, and welcoming, with a strong team-focused atmosphere. It’s serious enough to see results but without the over-the-top “Dance Moms” intensity. Head Coach Shannon is incredibly experienced and knows exactly how to help the athletes excel. Coaches Chassidy, Tammy, and Sydney bring so much energy and expertise to the program, making every practice enjoyable and productive. Having been part of other cheer programs, I can confidently say SSA stands out for its attention to detail and commitment to fundamentals and advanced skills. If you’re looking for a place where your cheerleader can grow and thrive, SSA Cheer is it! -Mom Dee!

We were fortunate enough to be a part of the debut Competition season. My daughter LOVES going to class and has learned in just a few months what she couldn't elsewhere in over a year. Highly recommend Standing Stronger Athletics, they will teach your child form, what it means to be on a team, and perseverance! The coaches are all so invested in the success of the individual student and the team! I could offer nothing for suggestions. I can't wait to see how they grow! Best team we've ever been a part of!

My wife and I enrolled our daughter for cheerleading lessons with Standing Strong Athletics and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Shannon and her team are amazing Our daughter enrolled as a beginner and her confidence level has exploded. We signed up for 8 classes and we’re so pleased with the results we immediately enrolled her for another 12 classes. Thank you to Shannon and her entire team Courtney, Julio and Gabby

Coach Shannon is the REAL DEAL! My middle school cheer team went to one of her day stunt clinics this year. I was blown away with the new skills that my girls walked away with. She also teaches a great deal about stunting safety issues to the girls. I learned a lot from her clinic as a coach. We will definitely continue attending SSA clinics!

Coach Shannon has been amazing with both of my girls. My youngest is new to cheer and my oldest is more advanced. Both have attended various cheer clinics with Standing Stronger Athletics and they have both walked away learning something new while having a great time. We are definitely looking forward to attending future clinics.

We LOVED our experience with Standing Stronger Athletics. My daughter’s confidence grew as she learned the basics of cheerleading. Coach Shannon also equipped her with drills that she could practice on her own. I can’t wait to see how much she progresses as she continues to attend the camps that are offered through SSA.
