competitive cheerleading gyms (Austin, Round Rock, Spring: appointed, high schools, live in)

[salimo]

My family is moving to Austin in a few short months and we are looking for a new cheerleading gym for our daughter. I have done some research, but wondered if there were any gyms I am missing. So far, we have looked into Austin Cheer Factory and Cheer Station. I also just found Primetime, but have yet to talk with them. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I know several families who have girls training at Cheer Station, and many of those girls are on the squad at their middle and high schools, so I assume they must be doing something well!

My granddaughter attended All That Cheer in Round Rock for several years. She had an ankle injury and had to stop competitive cheer or she'd probably still be there. Tammy Munguia is the owner and the web links are below. It is a good gym and Tammy is a good person.

I know that Cheer Station is a good place too.

No way on earth would I send my child to All That Cheer. Tammy Mungia has treated us so poorly. She overcharged our CC by $100, blamed it on me, and won;t refund our money. I am extremely disappointed and would not recommend ATC to anyone.

Springbean is not a truthful person- that is absolutely crazy- ATC is the least expensive gym in Austin and she doesnt even do it for the money- I am sure there is more to your story than you are admitting. My daughters have gone there for years and not only has she waived our fees some to help us out but always understanding when we are late on tuition. I think you must work for another gym and trying to steer people away from ATC - I doubt with every being that ever happened to you.

It really depends on where you live in Austin. Austin is a corridor city with a lot of distance between North and South. On the South side of Austin there are really only two cheer teams that I know of Star Center and The Elite Cheer Company. Star center is really a gymnastic gym and has never really been able to get a good program going. The Elite Cheer Company has a nice facilities but the head coach/owner is a piece of work he has been known to yell, belittle and throw things when upset (for example one night he called a junior level team - age 12 and under "morons"). By his own admission he has "anger management issues" which I guess is his excuse for bad behavior. If you have an older child it is not so bad, as you can explain the difference between good and bad behavior and quite frankly use as an example on how not to handle your frustration. I would never, ever put a young child on his competitive teams. I just don't think that his style of instruction would be a positive influence. I am not saying not to go to The Elite only that I think you need to know the environment first.

I know absolutely nothing about the teams in North Austin, though I do know some kids/parents that have gone to Cheer Factory, and seem to have liked it (other than your typical complaints about cost, schedules, location etc.).

i use to cheer at the elite cheer company in dripping springs. and it is absolutely fantastic. I left because im cheering at my school now, but i miss soooooo much. the coaches are amazing and everyone is nice and u should talk to them.

[chloeljones7]

but agree with smith89 the head coach was very angry all the time......... i was actually on that team when he called us morons. he has his moments, but he is usually supportive haf of the time, its just when it gets close to competitions and we arent doing well
