Mission Cheer Academy 18 Forrest Street, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702

"Where to start. First of all gotta say how welcoming the owners are. Rilie absolutely loves coach Becca. These ladies love this sport. (Yes, it's a sport) I love how they lift these kiddos up especially when their having a rough day. There is never any yelling at them. These kids work hard and it pays off, they have had several first places and second place wins as well. Rilie loves going to the gym and loves the competitive cheer as well. The coaches work hard to get the girls ready for competition and reward them for the winning and hard work. Because of all the good that Rilie has told her siblings her baby sister is also in the tiny novice group. She absolutely loves going and calls her teammates friends. There is never a practice they never don't want to go to. The owners are definitely helpful when it comes to having to adjust do to an injury and very understanding that these things happen. The clinics, I myself love going to them. I learn so much. As a cheer parent I love seeing the smiles on their faces when they do an awesome job, and as a coach for rec cheer I love learning new stuff. If you want a good experience and love being part of a family then M.C.A is the gym to go to. You will not be disappointed. It's a great positive environment and family oriented people."

"I remember when Roselyn started Mission Cheer Academy 3 (maybe 4 years ago) and she didn’t even have a cartwheel and within months she was doing one perfectly. Now she is doing a back handspring. Roselyn has grown over the past year to be a better flyer, base, and a better teammate. The coaches at MCA do not just teach cheer, they teach sportsmanship, and how to be a part of a team. MCA coaches are so hands on and know each child. They do not just put every girl or boy on one general level. They work with each individual child to perfect/learn for tumbling and stunting. Ohhh and I can’t forget about Roselyn’s facial expressions now. When she is out on the Mat she is not just cheering, she is performing. Thank you so much to MCA coaches for your continued efforts with my daughter and the safety first you all push within the gym. I can’t wait for many more seasons to come."

"Coach Heather is great! She’s very patient working with my youngest daughter who just recently got into gymnastics. All of the coaches at MCA know and understand that every child has their own skill level and can build from there. I love the encouragement they always give, too!"

"When I brought my five year old into this gym for the first time she was timid, shy and had no confidence in her ability. Within a month she was throwing tumbling skills perfectly that she had no clue how to do prior! She has the drive and confidence to work on them at home, and is still excited every time we leave for the gym. The staff feels like friends we have known forever, and they truly want every child to succeed. The gym has gone above and beyond to make every child feel welcome, wanted and like they belong. I cannot say enough good things, I highly recommend this gym! They are affordable, friendly, safe, welcoming and accommodating."

"My daughter and I absolutely love the coaches and atmosphere of MCA!! They are so understanding, attentive, and parent inclusive! This is my daughters first season of All-Star Cheerleading and the amount of skills these coaches have been able to teach her is incredible, but the confidence they’ve given her is priceless. I’d highly recommend anyone looking for a positive and inviting gym that can become family, MCA is the place!"
