“Before we came to Category 5, Adalynn was so shy and closed off. Since joining Cat 5, she has completely opened up, come out of her shell, and grown into her own little person. She's become so much more confident in herself, and it's been amazing to watch.”
“Annabelle used to do youth cheer but since coming to Category 5 she has really blossomed. She loves cheering and I can see the big difference in her since she started competition. She's more confident in herself and more outgoing. All your coaches are great.”
“Adalyn started cheer with only knowing how to do a cartwheel. The growth she has shown since joining Category 5 is incredible. I love watching her do what she loves the most.”
“Since coming to Category 5, Jolene has completely thrived. All she wants to do is cheer and tumble. Seeing her find what she is passionate about has been the greatest reward as a parent so far! The coaches have done an amazing job leading and inspiring her.”
