Designed specifically for ages 11–17, these weekly sessions help young people build strength, resilience, and teamwork through cheerleading and tumbling — all in a welcoming environment led by experienced coaches.

What to Expect from Teen Cheerleading Sessions
Each class is built around the core elements of cheerleading for teenagers — with a focus on fitness, creativity, and progression. Students are guided through structured sessions that combine technical drills, teamwork, and personal goal setting.
Teens will learn:
- Motion technique, jumps, and group stunts
- Tumbling skills: from cartwheels to advanced skills
- Full routines with choreography and transitions
Conditioning and flexibility work for safe progression - Leadership, performance, and team-building activities
All sessions take place in our fully equipped Gloucester cheer facility, with plenty of space and the latest training equipment.
Students who want to improve their tumbling specifically can also attend our tumbling classes, available for all levels.
