Unleash your child’s potential at the YMCA RecPlex! Our cheer and twirling programs provide an inclusive space where young athletes can thrive. Through expert instruction and a supportive community, children develop essential skills like strength, flexibility, coordination, and confidence—all while having a blast.

Whether your child dreams of soaring in cheer, or dazzling as a twirler, the YMCA is the place to shine. Let’s grow together—one skill, one goal, one achievement at a time!

Our competitive cheer teams are inclusive and offered to anyone ages 5-18. Our coaches have over 20 years of experience in All-Star Competitive Cheerleading. We offer half season teams (Tiny Team) – Senior Elite Team. An evaluation will help us determine proper placement for your athlete. Practice is held year round; days and times will vary. Team placements are by appointment only. Membership is required for participation.

Join our new Baton Twirling Program! Participants will learn the basics (and more) of twirling while aiming to compete in competitions and be featured in local/regional parades. Ages 5-18.
