Class Info

At Ignite Cheer Company, we focus on small class training. In doing so, it gives each child individual attention, helping develop individual abilities and creating a well-rounded cheerleader. Class time focuses on proper motions, jump technique, and tumbling, tailored to each student’s skill level.

We have a 5:1 student to coach ratio for all of our classes. Meaning, for every 5 students there is 1 coach. If there are 10 students in the class there will be 2 coaches. If there are 15 students in a class there will be 3 coaches… etc.

Classes that are offered at Ignite Cheer Company are designed to improve students as a whole. Most cheer-leading gyms only focus on tumbling which is just one facet of cheerleading. Each class is beneficial and will prepare your child for the next level of competition—whether that be for school tryouts or your local competitive team.
