Competitive cheer

Our all star teams

Our all star athletes train together, travel together, and compete all season long. Every family gets a comprehensive parent packet that breaks down every season cost up front, so there are no surprises before the season starts. We're also proud to have the support of Wild and Wonderful Allstar Boosters, which helps keep out-of-pocket costs low for our families.

Tumbling classes

Find the right class

Find the last skill your child can do on their own, without a spot. Their class is the level that skill unlocks. Still not sure? That's normal. We'll place them for you.

Start here↑ Keep climbing
  1. Tiny TotsLittle ones

    Brand new and still little.

    A first taste of the gym: forward rolls, log rolls, jumping, balancing, and learning to follow a coach. No skills required.

  2. BasicsBeginners

    Brand new to tumbling.

    Forward and backward rolls, bridges, and cartwheels, the foundation everything else is built on. Never taken a class? Start here.

    Has the basics down and is ready to build.

    Mastering front and back walkovers, the skills that unlock every level above this one.

    Refining round-offs and walkover connections while working toward the back handspring.

  5. Level 2Handsprings

    Has a back handspring.

    Standing and round-off back handsprings, series work, and building all the way to round-off tucks.

  6. Level 3Tucks & beyond

    Has tucks and is chasing what's next.

    Running passes, layouts, and specialty skills for athletes who want to keep climbing.

Two rules of thumb

“On their own” means no spot. If a coach or parent still has to help, that skill is still being learned.

When in doubt, go lower. Clean fundamentals are what make the next skill safe, and athletes move up as soon as they're ready.

Flyer Flex & Jumps

Flexibility, body control, and jump technique. Great for cheerleaders at any tumbling level.

Open Gym

Extra practice time on the floor with a coach, so athletes can keep working on skills between classes.

Middle & High School

Tumbling leveled to each athlete and built around the skills school cheer tryouts ask for.

Our story

Small-town heart. World-class training.

Coach TeeTee founded Mountain State Cheer Academy in 2024 with a dream: bring real all star training and small-town heart together in the mountains of West Virginia.

We wanted to create opportunities for athletes right here in our community: a place where hard work matters, and where athletes feel seen, supported, challenged, and proud to represent where they come from.

Through structured training, teamwork, and real relationships, we build confident athletes who lead with resilience, discipline, and integrity, on and off the mat.
