    Family…That is how I would describe Douglasville Cheer Stars. DCS is more than just cheerleading. It’s about preparing your child to be successful in life. You learn how to win or lose with grace and dignity. You learn what being a part of a team means. You make friends that remain long after cheerleading is over. It is a great experience not just for the kids but for parents as well. The coaches are fantastic! They truly care for the well-being of your child. Your child will be pushed to what they think are their limits, only to find they can do so much more. The coaches are always in their corner. They are knowledgeable and well-trained. DCS is truly one of the little known gems in Douglas County!

    If I had to write just one word about what the Douglasville Cheer Stars program is, that word would be FAMILY! Given the opportunity to elaborate, I would say it is part of who Karlie still is today. While it's true that she learned the sport of cheerleading and greatly improved her skills during her time as a Cheer Star, it is so much more than just cheerleading. Karlie learned what it means to be a member of a TEAM, win or lose. And while we relished in the glory of an undefeated season, I know the true lessons were learned in the victories as well as the defeats. She learned about hard work, perseverance, teamwork, dedication, dealing with frustrations and celebrating accomplishments. Karlie learned how to win and lose with dignity. She learned RESPECT, and that respect should be given to not only your coaches, but your teammates, your competitors and your sport in general. Karlie also learned that when you are "pushed to your breaking point", you dig even deeper, and never give up. The coaches and staff instilled values and work ethic in her that are now paying off in college. She also developed LIFE LONG friendships. Her closest friends all only cheered one season (her first) together on the same team, and in that season, they developed a bond that now spans thousands of miles as they each find themselves at different colleges across the nation. I strongly believe it is the experiences they went through on "Yellow Fever" that built the bond that will never be broken. Fortunately for me, the FAMILY goes beyond just the cheerleaders. I, too, have developed life-long friendships with some of the moms and coaches as well. Many of my fondest memories involve our experiences with Douglasville Cheer Stars. I know that wherever life takes us, we will always have a piece of purple in our hearts.

    We have been a part of Douglasville Gymnastics and Cheerleading for approximately 10 years. With 4 daughters, we have covered preschool classes, gymnastics classes, tumbling classes, private lessons and the competitive cheer team - Douglasville Cheer Stars. The coaches are top notch, instructors well trained, and the staff knowledgeable and friendly. We are PROUD to be a part of the DGC family.

    The coaches’ love for the cheerleaders, expertise and passion for the sport led their teams to winning many national competitions and titles. The entire organization is committed to integrity and excellence. In addition, the coaches were not only known for encouraging and motivating their athletes in the gym, they also supported and attended their cheerleaders’ school events/extra-curricular activities. The coaches established an outstanding rapport with both their cheerleader and parents. Our experience with Cheer Stars has been very rewarding. I cherish the friendships I developed with the coaches and other parents too. All coaches played a valuable role in building a bright future for Rickaiya. It is a true blessing to have the Douglasville Gymnastics and Cheerleading coaches/staff members in our life, today and always.

  • Rickaiya and I have been a part of the Douglasville Gymnastics and Cheerleading Club's family, Douglasville Cheer Stars, since Rickaiya was 3 years old. The cheer coaches have had a major impact on Rickaiya’s life - truly appreciate the life lessons each coach has taught her. For the past 10 years, I witnessed Rickaiya’s coaches work diligently with all athletes. Not only were they dedicated to developing and improving the cheerleaders’ athletic skills, her coaches also encouraged athletes to have great work ethic, superior sportsmanship, a good attitude, and outstanding leadership skills. Her coaches worked tirelessly to ensure all athletes reached their goals. Their infectious, positive attitude towards the cheerleaders inspired novice athletes to become self-motivated and talented competitors. The cheerleaders were taught to show love for one another, lift up their teammates during mistakes, work as a team, and have fun.

    My daughter, Anna, was a Cheer Star for six seasons - from elementary school in to high school. Because of great coaches who taught, encouraged and loved her, she achieved goals she never thought possible and created memories that will last forever. The best part of her Cheer Star career is that she made friends for life! A part of Anna's heart will always be purple, black and white!

    Cheer Stars is an absolutely wonderful program and has been a fantastic part of our children’s lives for 4 years now. We believe that aside from the technical instruction that they receive, the most impactful benefits are the character development that they receive from the coaches and staff there. Being part of the team has taught them a variety incredibly valuable life lessons. They set extremely difficult goals for their cheerleaders, and then support them in every way to help them achieve them. The practices are long, and difficult, but they build inner strength, confidence, determination and learn to work hard for what is important in life. We view the program as a catalyst for developing young girls as much as anything. They learn the true value of teamwork and how to support each other and grow together. They spend long hours together and travel the country competing against other girls who are just and skilled and determined as they are. From that experience we believe that they all learn that success often comes down to who can come together both on and off the mat. The girls all learn how to balance their passion for cheer with all of their other family, school and friendship responsibilities. We believe that the intangibles that they develop from the program are often more important than the technical skills. For both the girls and parents, the Cheer Stars program has become a quite a close knit family and one that we will be a part of for many years to come.

    This is our third season with the Douglasville Cheer Stars, competitive program. The first year my daughter tried out (at age eight,) she couldn’t even do a cartwheel correctly. Tumbling does not come easy for her, not considered a "natural" like many girls. Still, the coaches at DCS saw that she had potential, and the willingness to work hard to get where she needed to be. Not only have the coaches helped her be successful with tumbling specifically, they have also helped her to build her self-confidence. Allowing my child to become a competitive cheerleader is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for her well-being. She has learned the true meaning of teamwork, being a good sport, and how to hold her head up high, even when the going gets tough. Her coaches continue to be positive role models in her life whom she adores. They all demonstrate a passion for the sport of cheer and working with the children. Their passion overflows to all our squads, no matter the age group or competitive level. Thanks to the DCS coaching staff, EVERY Cheer Star is a STAR FOR LIFE!

    Joining the Cheer Star FAMILY has been an amazing experience. The skills my daughters have learned have been incredible. They are not only improving their tumbling and cheer skills, but also their skills for life. My daughters are learning to show great sportsmanship, to work together as a team, to build each other up, and to set goals and how to reach them. We are so glad we joined the DCS FAMILY. It is truly a family environment for kids to grow in so many ways.

    The decision to continue our cheer journey with Douglasville Cheer Stars has benefited my daughter greatly. Within just the first year, we could see phenomenal growth and success with her advancing in skill level from practice to practice. Chelsea’s tumbling is exceeding her current level and on point for the next, all due to the outstanding coaching she receives. And best of all – we are successful! True, winning isn’t everything (yes it is), but when you invest from your pocket, you want to see some return – right? Well, we definitely are showing big dividends from being a part of the Cheer Stars Family. There is a certain level of excellence that is now our standard and has totally exceeded our initial expectations. The family atmosphere is just icing on the cake. We cheer together, play together, and most of all – we PRAY together! My fellow team parents are second-to-none. Love the coaches, the girls, and their families. Look for us at the top!
