We have just started our 5th season at Fyrestorm Cheer and Tumbling! We're so excited to be half a decade strong! We’re beyond excited to bring our championship 4th season into this new one! Last year held so any amazing accomplishments for us as a gym family! We took many first place wins, as well as earning a bid to the D2 SUMMIT in Tampa, FL! Our Sr level 2 team, Fate, competed at D2 Summit and placed 27th in the Nation! That’s a huge accomplishment we are so proud of! And we’re even more proud that all of our teams completed most of our season, including Summit, with ZERO DEDUCTION routines! That is our number one goal! So here we sit, the beginning of team placements! It’s an exciting journey for athletes and coaches while we put all the pieces together for a championship season. At Fyrestorm, we are committed to building the strongest, most competitive team in each division and level. Our main goal is for each athlete to be ridiculously successful – and that starts with appropriate team placement! While many gyms focus simply on tumbling skills for placement – we require our athletes to be all around athletes. This means they have all (or majority) of the skills for the level they are cheering on. Tumbling, in fact, is only 20% of the score sheet. Crazy, huh? So while that 20% is vital to our overall success, you can see how having overall skills is so important! So while your child is working super hard during July, before team placements, remember that your job is to be their biggest fan! Be PROUD of whatever team they are invited to. Resist the “Keeping up with the cheer Jones’” and wanting your child on a team because other kids are on it. Remember that this is an amazing time of their life and you want them to be WILDLY SUCCESSFUL!
After all – we only get one time around this crazy insanely blessed life. Let’s boost our children up to be their very best! Cheers! - Beth
