Academy Elite, PREP, and Recreation Cheer
The Premier Cheer of Tri-Cities
Elite, Prep, or Rec: Which Academy cheer team is right for you?
Elite Cheer
Full season, competitive cheer
We have raised the level of cheerleading in the Tri-Cities with Academy Elite Cheer.
Expert coaches help athletes reach their full potential in a safe, supportive environment.
Athletes will increase their mental and physical strength as they develop new abilities, showcase their skills, and prepare for success in college cheer and beyond.
PREP Cheer
Half season, competitive cheer
Prep/Novice Cheer bridges the gap between recreational and competitive cheer.
Prep/ Novice Cheer at the Academy is the perfect intro to competitive cheer. This program offers the excitement of elite cheer, in a shorter season and with fewer weekly practice hours.
The season runs from September to February, with 2–3 local competitions.
REC Cheer
Introductory, recreation cheer
Recreational Cheer at Academy of Acrobatic Sports is a fun, inclusive intro to cheerleading.
Athletes learn that with preparation and hard work, comes the reward of confidence.
Rec Cheer offers athletes a safe, supportive environment to explore the sport of cheerleading, and families the flexibility of minimal time commitments
How Program Placement Works
Select your desired program (Elite, Prep, or Rec) and contact us to get started!
Elite and Prep cheer requires a tryout. Athletes will demonstrate their skill in jumps, tumbling, and stunting for an Academy coach, and will be placed on a team based on age, their overall abilities, and the skill set needed on that team.
Rosters are comprised of members whose talents provide the best chances for team success in competition.
