From Shy to Soaring: A Champion Force Story”
Maya watched from the sidelines, clutching her pom-poms, heart pounding. It was her first day at Champion Force Athletics, and she wasn’t sure she belonged. She was only seven, and she’d never done more than a cartwheel in her backyard.
Coach Lisa greeted her with a warm smile. “Welcome to CFA — this is where you’ll find your voice.” Over the next few weeks, Maya walked into the gym on Wednesday evenings, entering a world of cheers, chants, jumps, stunts, and dance routines — taught by certified coaches who believed in every child.
At first, her stunts were shaky, her voice quiet. But little by little, she found strength in her teammates and confidence in herself. She learned proper form, how to trust a base in a stunt, how to work as one unit. She discovered that she could lift someone (and that someone could lift her!).
By the end of the semester, Maya’s class had prepared a full routine to showcase for parents and at a local competition. On performance night, she stepped forward, heart racing — and commanded the floor. When she landed her final jump and struck her pose, the crowd erupted. Her wide grin said it all.
Maya’s mom wiped tears away. She realized this was more than just cheers and stunts. Maya had grown in poise. She had learned teamwork, persistence, stage presence, and the courage to try something new.
Now, Maya looks forward to class each week. She trains alongside kids from ages 4 to 18, from beginners to advanced. CFA offers recreational divisions (where no prior experience is needed) all the way up to elite teams.
And the cost? For beginners, classes start at $10 per class — an affordable way for families to give their child the chance to shine.
Across hundreds of gyms and community centers nationwide, Champion Force teams come together every week. Each location carries the same mission: to build confidence, teamwork, and lifelong memories — one cheer at a time.
