Great facility, great staff! My daughter has had a wonderful experience with ACA learning how to tumble/cheer!

Very poor communication and no genuine empathy when approaching about a concern or misunderstanding. If your time is in print as 1pm then “word of mouth” through a child or assuming a grand parent will pass along a different and earlier time is bad practice. Not being able to see my child show her new found skills in her first introduction to cheerleading this week because of assumption leaves a very bad memory from this experience. I literally left work early and fought traffic coming 35 mins away to show up to my child sad I couldn’t make it when it could have been avoided. And when speaking to you, giving half “well sorry” or telling my child “I don’t know what to do about that, sorry” is not empathetic nor professional in how to handle this situation at all. You received the money for the week and decided we were just another number. I had high hopes to return because in spite of the experiences my daughter is excited to grow as a cheerleader. But I see as of how the very shallow and “you’re wasting my time but let me sound sweet while holding your hand and pretend to care” attitude means we are not wanted here. So we will go elsewhere.

This is a great place for cheer, my only complaint is there's no place for me to watch my little girls practice. So I'm forced to sit in the parking lot for an hour..

There is nothing my daughter loves more than being in the gym! The all-star program is so organized and you know exactly what you are signing up for due to the detail in the contract. Meredith is always willing to answer everyone's questions and Rachel makes sure her staff is well educated to keep up with this everchanging industry. This is our 4th season in competitive cheerleading and 3rd as a national star!

We've been apart of this gym for over 15 years. The oldest family in the gym. I have 2 nieces, 2 nephews, 1 grandniece, 1 son and 3 daughters who have been on many teams at this gym. Currently 2 daughters on 2 teams. People always ask how we've done it for this long, and honestly this gym is our family. We've had amazing seasons and some that weren't my favorites but this is how cheer goes. Can it be costly, yes but so is any other travel sport. Its been our other home and our family absolutely loves the gym and the amazing staff up there. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested.

Which I could give 0 stars. This is a MONEY HUNGRY business. They make you sign a contract before you can get evaluated. You have no idea what team you're going to b apart of. How can we be sure we want to commit to something that we don't know what it's going to be. I pulled my daughter the very 1st day and they wanted $850 for us to leave. We are moving to Texas and that's a more than reasonable explanation to leave. I can understand if they already learned the choreography and was getting ready for competitions, but it was literally the 1st day.
I wish I payed more attention to the negative reviews. I would have known how money hungry they are. Charging full price during times they are closed is outrageous! Those months should be discounted.

I will honestly say my daughter has slightly improved on small things (that I can have her show me at home) since going here but, there are some things they could change. One of them being not allowing parents to spectate AT ALL. I understand not allowing it all the time but, at least once a month allowing a drop in to make sure your child is working consistently & not just having to hope they’re doing better. I can only have her show me certain things at home so, it’s hard to tell what she’s getting better at. Also, charging full price when THEY are closed for the holidays (ex. 3 weeks of tumbling in the month of Nov due to thanksgiving & 3 weeks in Dec due to christmas) since they take a week off but still charging us for the entire month is illogical. I asked about this and was told “we don’t pro-rate, it’s like daycare”.. okay but, I have never seen a daycare charge for services when THEY are closed for the week. I understand if you miss a practice & still have to pay for it but, that’s not the case here.

We just finished our second season at ACA. My daughter has improved in her tumbling, jumps and stunts tremendously due to this program. My daughter lives and breaths cheer. She would live at the gym if we let her. She loves her coaches and her team. She’s made friendships I hope will last for a long time. This gym has really made us feel like family. We have literally lived all over the world and my daughter has never been so engaged in anything like she is with this program. Rachel and Coach K are awesome. You can tell they really care about their athletes and are invested in their success. She’s also worked with Robert and Chase for tumbling and they’ve really pushed her to be her best. She’s recently started taking a jumps class and I’ve already seen improvement after one month. If you’re looking to improve your athletes skills this is definitely the right place.

ACA is a fantastic gym with a terrific staff. All Star Cheer is not a sport for the weak minded or for those with delicate sensibilities and that's okay. A few of these people sound like petulant whiners. Maybe you can find fulfillment in a quiet game of candy crush or some kite flying perhaps.

I have been at this gym every week for the past 8 year of my life , I have come across many athletes and coaches but not one time have I felt insulted by a single person in this gym. Yes I have had arguments and disagreed with some of the people at the gym but we always found a way to work with them to figure it out. The staff at Augusta Cheer Academy are some of the most most welcoming, enthusiastic, caring, and dedicated employees I have seen in the many sports I have tried. The people at this gym have basically raised me in both cheer and life. I have learned many life skills in this environment such as giving back to the less fortunate, teamwork, respect, sportsmanship, and perseverance. I have come so far as an athlete and learned so many skills I could have never imagined having at a young age. I could never see myself at any other gym. The people in this gym I used to call my coaches and teammates but since have become my family and best friends. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a place to have a birthday party, tumble, practice skills (at open gym), or competitive cheer. I have had so many opportunities to travel with this gym and the staff have done everything they can to make me and my family feel comfortable and welcome in the national stars family.

I have been watching these reviews and feel like it is time that I add my opinion. I have two daughters who cheer competitively at ACA and my other children have taken tumbling classes, gone to open gym, and participated in camps. I have 9 children who have participated in many different sports and activities through a variety of organizations over the years giving me a lot to compare this organization to. First let me start by saying that our 8 years at ACA haven’t always been perfect because this is real life and real people are involved. My daughters have occasionally had issues with coaches or other athletes and I don’t always agree with every parent on my girls’ teams, however, we have always been able to go to the gym and discuss any problems with the coaches and/or the owner. These conversations are not always easy to have especially when we are feeling emotional and protective but I have always ended up satisfied and reassured with the outcome we come up with together and together we continue to help my kids grow and get better in the sport they love. The encouraging personalized messages my children receive especially before and during a competition touch my heart as I see how invested these coaches are in my child as a cheerleader and a person. We have shared special “cheer family” experiences for Christmas, Halloween, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, etc. and I am especially proud of all the charity based experiences my children have participated in with the gym (Operation Christmas Child, Macy’s Santa Letters, Red Nose Day, Spooky to be Hungry, Toys for Tots, Ronald McDonald House, etc). My older daughter has been cheering competitively for 8 years and she thinks of her coaches and fellow athletes as family and loves them so much. In fact she put a post on Facebook recently that brought tears to my eyes as I realized how much ACA has brought to her life and helped her grow. We cannot imagine cheering or tumbling anywhere else.

I literally.. have just actually decided to read this thread after NUMEROUS messages from current and former ACA PARENTS, KIDDOS, and yes COACHES .. that have worked with BOTH of my children during their training historically and recently.. First and foremost.. to all the parents whom have not been through what we have.. I wholeheartedly respect you and your reviews.. . And I understand where you come from... I WAS there once too.... As you ALL KNOW.. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF YOUR CHILDREN AS YOU HAVE BEEN OF MINE.. BUT.. where I hope and pray.. ( that this never happens to you or yours , because the bullying has only increased to a 11 year old child whom is more heartbroken than you can ever imagine and after the PRIVATE parents email went to her team as well as gym meetings .. job well done RACHEL the bullying increased to the point of school peers teasing her saying SHE SUCKED AND GOT KICKED OFF THE TEAM .. and LA IN YOUR PARAPHRASED WORDS.. “didn’t even deserve to be on he team” ..To the parents that are having great experiences, I pray you never go down the path of tolerance we went down in the last years !! This was not abrupt or an acute response WHEN YES.. I HAD ENOUGH ... WE HAVE SPENT MANY HOURS IN Rachel’s office and WITH COACHES... watched our children cry and were heartbroken over what the coaches said to us about our children!! YES.. Both of them!! Yet we always thought they (THE OWNER AND COACHES) knew best and also our children had to deal with parents that never ever seemed to believe them ... but told them they had to work harder.. ITS COMPETITION CHEER!! Both my husband and I are respected professionals in this community and as professionals parents in a tough world we have never been quitters nor do we raise quitters!! This is absolutely the foundation we embedded into our children .... Let me get personal Rachel..Since I see you also attempted to blame ME in hypothetically “your” letter and responses .. and I want to be clear ... that will NOT be tolerated .. This current issue which actually provoked me to finally have enough after one of your employees boldly lied to my face and in front of my child.. and NO we were not separated for separate discussions in your office... prompted my WAKE UP CALL after myself and my husband personally addressed these issues with you on more than ONE occasion !! SO IF THIS IS YOU RESPONDING OR PROMPTING THESE SUDDEN POSITIVE REVIEWS ... when you had none before.. From the Mom that stood in your office and cried many tears .. WHEN YOU PERSONALLY MADE PROMISES TO MY HUSBAND, Myself and MY SON.. ..YOU LIED TO NOT ONLY A CHILD TO HIS FACE .. BUT TO BOTH OF HIS PARENTS .. THAT WERE PAYING ALOT OF MONEY THAT SUPPORTED AND BELIEVED IN YOU AND THE “PROMISES” YOU PERONALLY AS THE OWNER AND HIS COACH MADE HIM!!! I have never been so disgusted and I actually thought since you HAVE NEVER EVEN SPOKEN TO ME PERSONALLY AND ALSO REFUSED TO SPEAK TO MY HUSBAND when the issue of you using the PARENTAL CODE OF CONDUCT.. to kick a child out of your gym without hesitation nor inquire as to actually what provoked ME to call your employee A LIAR .No, without hesitation not only did you not actually speak to the parent that WAS OVERWHELMINGLY INFURIATED.. you also refused and ignored an in writing request all the way from another country to speak to you... while deployed.. YOU STILL REFUSED after years of money and tolerance we have invested into YOUR business and then we finally saw the whole TRUTH. I literally..said OMG.. So when does Rachel suddenly speaks about herself in the 3rd person.. that’s not her... you were always given the benefit and OUR TRUST with our children’s best interests..
yet ..CLEARLY WE FINALLY REALIZED YOUR PASSION WAS NOT ABOUT THE CHILDREN IN YOUR GYM!! What a harsh and heartbreaking awakening it has been for us!! Yes Rachel.. like most parents singing your praises .. so did we... WE BELIEVED IN YOU TOO..THEN WE FINALLY WOKE UP!!! My son was never a quitter either !! REMEMBER HIM.. HE ACTUALLY WARNED US after working for you too.. don’t let her go back!

I had the honor and privilege to watch these athletes perform at a recent competition. Besides their outstanding performances and skills on the competition mat, they were courteous and kind and role models for the other gyms. The owner strives to ensure the gym is a positive atmosphere for the athletes and works hard to create a program that encourages growth while maintaining the fun in the sport. I personally saw this when she recently planned a day camp for younger athletes. If we lived closer, my daughter would cheer at Augusta Cheer Academy, hands down.

This is my daughter's 8th year with ACA. She has cheered for all of the gyms in the CSRA and this by far has been the best one! We absolutely LOVE our cheer family! This gym is a fun and nurturing environment. They love and support all of their athletes. When the kids are cheering with their schools or at local school competitions their coaches take time from their personal schedules to always come out and support them. In my opinion that says alot about their character. Coaching our kids is not just a job to them. They are truly invested in their overall well being and will go above and beyond for them. The owner and her staff genuinely love our kids like their own, which is so important considering how much time our kids spend at the gym each week. If you're looking for a place to take recreation classes or a place to cheer competitively ACA is definitely your best choice!!

We have been apart of the ACA family for 2 wonderful years. It has been a great experience and I’m proud to call myself a cheer dad. The staff is always available to answer question and they are very professional. The coaches are amazing with a perfect balance of strict and fun. My daughter has come out of her shell so much since joining the ACA family. She absolutely loves all of her coaches. The owner Rachel is so patient and loving to all of the kids. Coach Nick is my favorite coach he pushes my daughter to be her very best at all times. We were looking for a great cheer family and we found it.

We have been a part of this gym "family" for years. All-star cheerleading, tumbling classes, open gym, and summer camps! The owner and coaches at the gym have always treated my children like their own. What I love about this gym is the discipline they taught my children. They were never afraid to push my children to be better athletes. They were also there to hug them and encourage them when they knew they gave it their best. So many laughs, tears and memories with this gym! We love our ACA family!!

I am shocked at how much my daughter has learned in such a small amount of time! I have to give credit to Rachel, Coach K, and Nick for putting in the time and effort to make the team the best they can be!!! Can't wait to see what the STARS do this year!!!

Absolutely love this gym family. My daughter is on her third year cheering for the national stars it’s a lot of hard work, sacrifice and a lot of time ( we live an hour away) but for her love of the sport and and the people that coach her we make those sacrifices to be a part of The national stars. She has made the best of friends here and has accomplished many goals and has always been helped along the way to do what she knows she can do. Rachel and her staff are great and always ready to encourage, teach, or just give a hug when needed ❤️🖤💫

9 years, 4 kids (3 currently) we have been apart of this gym. We love this gym and the coaches in it. When we have had any issues, they have been addressed and handled. We have seen people come and go for various reasons, but we choose to stay because we have become family. It hasn't been perfect, no one or gym is, but it has been filled with love and support. Some seasons have been better than others, but at the end of the day we still come back season after season.

The staff is always so compassionate and treats Morgan like one of their own. I have never doubted this program. They have truly played a huge role in molding my child into the person she is. She has built so many friendships here. ACA pushes Morgan to be the best she can be and built so much confidence in her as a person and athlete. There is nowhere else she would rather be!

This gym is fun and your child will definately be ready for competition cheer and or school cheer IF they are willing to work hard and listen to their coaches. They have wonderful open gym options, cute uniforms and many more things to offer. I’ve never looked back after 7 years at this gym. We are in school cheer now but always come back to tumble, sub when needed or simply visit. We love our friends and family at ACA. We will always bleed red and black and sparkle like a star.

This is my daughter’s second year at ACA. She started off in the Prep half year team last year and fell in love with cheer and ACA! She is now on a full year team. She takes several classes and is at the gym 4 days a week — she never complains about going and cannot wait to get there to see the coaches and her friends! The coaches makes her feel like one of their own and she gives them a hug each and every time!! They all motivate her and push her to do HER best each and every time she is on the floor. She has learned so much in these two short years and is so determined to keep going and develope new skills. We are very pleased with ACA and have sent a lot of girls their way who have all joined the gym in one way or another! I can’t wait to see how much my daughter grows over the years!

My daughter has been at this gym for 8 years since the age of 4. The staff and coaches have been amazing. They have always looked out for her and her teammates. She has progressed and advanced just as she should have. Not held back or pressured to get skills that she isn’t ready for yet. They pour their hearts out for their athletes. It’s a huge 2nd family for us. Wouldn’t take her anywhere else. She would live at the gym if I would let her.

6th year in and we still love this place! It's amazing to see the growth and developmemt of the athletes from beginning to end each year. Approaching all-star cheer as I do academics there are three parts to the success recipe (gym/coaches, athlete and parents) that each require 100% to pull it off. Add in the human factor and understanding that no one or nothing is perfect, I have found that my concerns are always heard and I believe that this is because the concerns brought to me by the gym/coaches are also heard. We have had great experiences and ACA has become like family! We'll always be Stars (as long as we are cheering).
