With teams varying in age and skill levels, each athlete will be evaluated based on their current stunting and tumbling experience, performance level and work ethic. The athlete will then be placed within one of our competitive teams, ranging from Tiny Level 1 Prep to Senior Level 5.

Athletes will have the privilege of competing in 4-6 events throughout the year, as well as attend a wide range of specialised training sessions and events. To join, each competitive cheerleader will need to commit fully to training, events and competitions.
At MKCA we believe that a willingness to learn, the determination to excel and a team player mentality are all essential characteristics that are integral to becoming the best of the best within the competitive cheer world! So with the help of our qualified and experienced coaches, we hope to not only win competitions, but also positively impact the physical and mental development of our cheerleaders.
