My daughter has grown so much with Spirit Too over the past several years and while her growth as an athlete has been tremendous, it’s her personal growth that has me feeling so incredibly grateful to be part of the Spirit Too family. The passion and genuine “care factor” among the coaches is unmatched. Under Spirit Too leadership and encouragement, I’ve watched my daughter learn and prove to herself what it means to have grit, resilience, discipline, and selflessness in a true team culture where she feels challenged but also loved and valued. Yes, there is a major focus on performance and skill progression as competitive all-star cheer athletes but beyond performance on the mat is a strong feeling of teamwork, inclusion, and belonging…. It’s family! As a parent, an environment for your child like Spirit Too is invaluable. So while my daughter spends up to 6 days a week training at Spirit Too (by choice) and is kindly nicknamed a “gym rat” given how much time she spends there, I couldn’t be happier that she has a true “home” at Spirit Too!

Spirit Too has been a home away from home not only for our 2 daughters, but also for my husband and me, since we joined in 2020. Gym Owner/World's Team coach Anne and all the other coaches welcomed our girls who had dance and gymnastics backgrounds, and found just the right positions for each of them. Since joining, our girls have learned how to work well with others as a cohesive team, gained confidence and social skills, and learned how to be self-reliant when we travel as a group on weekends. They have also gained incredible athletic training working with all the coaches and have advanced to higher level teams. No matter how much (or how little) experience your child has, there is always room to grow at Sprit Too, both athletically and personally.

Our daughters have been part of the Spirit Too family since 2018. Our oldest has been a dedicated and passionate cheerleader since the day she walked into the gym for her first practice; she can’t get enough of it and has found her true passion. Our youngest is very excited to be part of her team and when she hits the mat and competes, she exhibits confidence and commitment. Over the years, I’ve watched our girls grow not only into talented athletes but also into young ladies who support and cheer on every team and athlete in the gym. Anne has a real passion for the sport and truly cares about the children and parents that participate in her programs. Anne’s program is not an extracurricular activity, this is a second home where children come together to better themselves and those around them. There is a support system at Spirit that parents can be proud of; these athletes are their teammates biggest supporters and it’s been amazing to watch the other parents embrace our girls and treat them as their own, not only to cheer them on after a great performance but also to be there to console them (and me) when they didn’t. I would recommend Spirt Too to anyone whose child is interested in All Star Cheerleading. The coaches are experienced, talented, amazing and understand the needs of your children because they actually take the time get to know your child. The coaches know how to lift athlete’s spirits up, when they need extra encouragement, when they need an extra push to work harder and when to celebrate the small (and big) wins. We’re so thankful for all that they do.

My daughter has been a part of Spirit Too for over a year. The dedication, high energy, consistent coaches have given my daughter not only the self confidence needed but the drive to push harder! While there are different levels of teams within Spirit, all of the girls receive positive encouragement from all to try their best and to keep going! We are very proud and lucky to have found Spirit Too!

My daughter has been taking classes and cheering on a competition team at Spirt Too for three years. It is truly her second home. Not only has she learned so many skills and grown so much as an athlete, she has also made best friends. Spirit Too creates a family like gym atmosphere, and all of the coaches and staff are caring, supportive, and professional.

5 years ago, our 6 year old wanted to join a cheer team. After a google search we found Spirit Too, located close to our home. I emailed and we were invited to attend their Open House. Well, as soon as our daughter saw the teams and stunts and the intensity of all the team members she wanted to be part of it. She has been steadfast ever since joining. She has such a love of the sport due to the dedication of the coaches and staff. The team spirit she feels when she gets on the mat shines through and her progress in tumbling and dance, shows. The stunting amazes me. Thru CoVid and all, the staff has been great and always found a way to make sure their teams had a safe place to practice. Thank you Anne for being there for our children and having a wonderful place for them to showcase and learn their skills. As a family we look forward to seeing Miana grow in confidence with the support of her coaches and staff into a great young woman.

Words can’t begin to describe how grateful I am to Anne and the Spirit Too family. Over the last year that my daughter has been on one of the Elite cheer teams she has grown immensely. The skills and technique she’s learned over the last year is more than she learned anywhere else. Her confidence is on a whole other level now and she loves every minute of being at Spirit. The Coaches and staff have been so welcoming and treat her as if she is one of their own. The cheer program at Spirit has been even better than we imagined and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their cheering and tumbling skills to the next level!

This is our first year at Spirit Too and Anne runs a phenomenal program. The coaches are amazing, encouraging and positive, they ARE the athletes biggest cheerleaders. They truly care about the well-bring and health of the kids. They celebrate big and small accomplishments. We came from another program that my daughter was with for 5 years and here she has made amazing friends, gained so much confidence and even a “hard” practice isn’t a “bad” practice. The coaches expect a positive attitude, professionalism and 100% effort, and they give that same thing back to the athletes. My daughter has gained not only cheerleading skills but life skills. Anne’s program is first class all the way!!!
2022/23 was our first season at Spirit. Since joining Spirit, our daughter Roma has not only built more confidence and skills but most importantly she created so many new special friendships. The spirit family is a testament of what a team looks like. Watching the athletes all support each other within their own team AND also the others is such a beautiful sight. The owner and all the coaches are wonderful. They dedicate so much time and attention to all the kids at the gym and it shows when they hit the floor! We are so happy to have joined spirit! We are looking forward to another great year there.

We just started at Spirit Too this year, and it already feels like home. From the team atmosphere at practices to the excitement at competitions, we are having a great time. Anne is super organized and always willing to answer any and all weird questions I come up with as a relatively new ‘cheer mom!’

My daughters, Mia and Maddie Pagnotta have participated in Spirit Zone Too for the last eleven years. During that time period, they have not only become skillful athletes; but have learned a tremendous amount about commitment, being a team player, and striving for very challenging goals. Spirit Too has become a second home to my girls. They have forged relationships there that will be life long with many of the athletes and the coaches. Mia and Maddie have volunteered working with the younger teams which has been very beneficial to them too. Spirit Zone Too has provided them with a variety of benefits.

Spirit Zone too provides my program with the best tumbling experience. Their instructors are very professional and knowledgeable. My team looks forward to tumbling classes every week! We have used Spirt for the past two seasons for choreography, and have not been disappointed!
