What an AWESOME HONOR to be featured on Fox Carolina News tonight! Yes, we want our girls to have fun and be competitive...but in the end...it is our goal to mitigate as many risk factors as possible! Thank you, Michaela Leggett, for this opportunity!!
Visit us during cheer practice to register your cheerleader onsite. We accept Cash, Cash App, and Zelle. Online registration is not available. Cheer registration occurs behind The Thornton Activity Center.

Meet behind The Thornton Activity Center - 500 Highland Avenue, Spartanburg, SC 29306
Cheerleaders must be between the ages of 6-12 years old (on July 31st, 2025) to participate.
2025 FEE RATES
Early Bird is $175. It includes
Cheer Uniform, 2 Cheer Bows, Poms, Cheer Backpack, socks, Administrative and League Fees
After April 1st, the rate goes up $225. Don't delay!
There are NO items which can be used from previous years. All New Everything.
After the season, your cheerleader will keep EVERYTHING!
Our regular season runs from August-December (depends on play-off/championships). Our first three months are a critical learning period.
To ensure the best Cheerleader to Coach Ratio, we will only accept 50 cheerleaders this season for sideline cheer.
After Cheer Equipment and Uniforms have been ordered, no fees will be refunded. If this occurs, cheerleaders will still receive the items they've ordered even if he/she does not participate.
Sideline cheerleading focuses on motivating the crowd at games, while competitive cheerleading focuses on performing a routine at competitions.
Information regarding cheer competitions will be given during the season. Competition Cheer is separate from Sideline Cheer
Additional fees are required to participation.
State IDS are not required for Cheer. Physicals are required. Must be turned in before July 31st, 2025.

Greetings!! I am excited and honored to be your new Cheer Director.
I’m a dedicated coach who believes in leading by example. As Cheer Director, it’s my goal to be a positive role model while building meaningful relationships with my coaches, parents, cheerleaders, and the local community. I’m a boy mom who loves sports. My son and I have been a part of the Spartanburg Gator’s family for 3 years. My passion for cheer and dance started when I was just 6 years old where I learned tap, ballet, and Jazz! This passion continued into high school where I served as the cheer captain of a competitive Co Ed- cheer team. Most recently, I have enjoyed coaching youth cheerleading. I also provide try-out prep training and mentorship to aspiring middle and high school cheerleaders who desire to excel.
I look forward to helping your child gain confidence, build character, and develop leadership skills through CHEER!
Experience: Volunteer Cheer Coach, Team Mom, CPR/AED Certified
