Puyallup Cheer Academy (PCA) is excited to offer our community classes for individuals eager to learn the fundamental skills of cheerleading, including motions, jumps, kicks, stunts, cheers, and dance. Our classes are intentionally kept small to ensure premium attention and facilitate quick progression. We are a year-round program, continuously accepting new students as long as there is available space.
Puyallup Cheer Academy (PCA) also provides multiple local showcases for students to perform what they have been perfecting in classes. Some of the local performances we are thrilled to participate in include Meeker Days, The Puyallup Fair, The Daffodil Parade, Sunrise Village, South Hill Mall, Puyallup Farmers Market, and more.
Established to support both coaches and athletes, PCA offers a range of resources, including fundraising opportunities for PTAs and schools, educational programs for coaches, building rental usage for local programs, access to outside experts in cheerleading, and comprehensive cheerleading classes.
Join us at Puyallup Cheer Academy to be part of a supportive community dedicated to the growth and success of cheerleaders and coaches alike. Enroll today and take advantage of the numerous opportunities we provide for skill development and performance excellence.
NEW CHEER classes EVERY 2 MONTHS!
Classes are held once a week, with each class lasting 50 minutes. Your payment secures your spot, as space is limited and pre-registration is required to attend. Due to high demand and sessions selling out, we do not issue refunds.
Our entry-level classes are perfect for every athlete. Participants will learn cheerleading fundamentals, including basic motions, kicks, jumps, cheers, and dance. At the final class of each session, cheerleaders will perform a small showcase to demonstrate their newly acquired skills.
No uniform or special equipment is required. Simply wear PE athletic attire, bring a bottle of water, and come ready to have some fun!
A welcome email will be sent the week prior to the class start with additional details and information.
