Cheer Athletics St. Louis' upcoming relocation to a 30,000-square-foot facility represents a significant upgrade in training infrastructure for the region's all-star cheerleading community. The new space is strategically situated in Maryland Heights' Westport Commerce Center. It features 34-foot ceilings and specialized zones for stunting, tumbling, and choreography. These features address the technical demands of modern competitive cheer.
The expansion of the all-star cheerleading facility reflects the program's rapid growth since its 2020 launch. Cheer Athletics St. Louis has effectively transitioned from a pandemic-era venture to an established training hub offering tiered developmental pathways — from introductory tumbling classes to elite World Championship-level teams.
New program additions like CheerABILITIES (adaptive cheerleading) and Dance Athletics demonstrate intentional outreach to broader demographics, while services like school squad workshops and birthday parties enhance inclusivity.
