Traditional CheerAbilities Team

As a premier adaptive program, CheerAbilities is built on the belief that inclusivity is the foundation of athletic excellence. We provide a high-energy, competitive platform where athletes with intellectual, physical, or developmental challenges master the fundamentals of cheer, dance, and tumbling. By welcoming athletes with conditions such as autism, down syndrome, and cerebral palsy, we tailor our routines to focus on personal achievement and individual growth. Our supportive environment fosters physical strength, self-esteem, and lasting social bonds, proving that every athlete—regardless of their starting point—deserves the pride of performing on the big stage.

National Special Olympics Unified Team

The US National Special Olympics Cheer Team stands as a powerful testament to the transformative power of inclusion and unity. Operating as a Unified Cheer Team, our program bridges the gap between individuals with and without intellectual disabilities, bringing them together under a shared passion for athleticism and spirit. On the international stage, our athletes do more than just perform; they challenge stereotypes and redefine what it means to be a teammate. By training and competing as equals, participants develop deep-rooted bonds of respect and friendship that extend far beyond the mat. This is more than a sport—it is a life-changing movement that fosters a global culture of understanding and belonging.
