CHAMPFAM

For nine years, Champion Allstars has trained and developed young athletes into not only accomplished cheerleaders, but honorable citizens. When owner, Cassidy Legg opened the doors to Champion in 2013 she wanted a place where she could teach athletes about a sport she loved, and also instill in them a sense of value and acceptance. She wanted to give back to the sport that had the greatest impact in her life, while helping young athletes learn life lessons to prepare them for the future.  “At Champion we talk a lot about the bigger picture in practice. Cheerleading is what we love and what we are physically doing, but if I can teach them to dream big, set goals, and always give 100%, I know they will conquer the world. The girls are treated like family because that is how we feel about them. I think that atmoshphere is what sets us apart from other gyms.” With more than 100 athletes in the gym, Champion finds ways to bring them all together so they can support each other not only at practices and competitions, but outside of the sport in their daily lives . “I don’t think there is anything our athletes look forward to more than our pep rallies. They get to watch their friends on other teams perform, showcase their skills, and then come together in candlelight for an inspirational talk.” Coach Deleece Smith.  Champion prides themselves on making each athlete and team feel special. The coaches’ motto “NO TEAM LEFT BEHIND” has propelled the program to be one of the top competitors in the nation. Last season Champion made history, having two teams make D2 Summit Finals, held in Orlando Florida at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Arena. This was Champion’s third year qualifying for the event. 
Six teams earned qualifying bids to compete this season, but unfortunately due to COVID-19 the event has been cancelled. 
With the success the gym has had in the short seven years of being open, Champion invested in their athletes and doubled the size of their gym to now have adequate space for all of their teams. They are now the largest cheerleading facility in Southern Utah.
