About Us
Athletes Plus opened on June 1, 2008. It is a complete
cheerleading training center. We offer tumbling classes,
cheer classes, squad camps, preschool classes, and
All-Star squads for all ages. We promote safety in all of
our classes. Class sizes are kept small so that every
child gets the attention that he or she needs to be
successful.
