This is my daughter’s second season with Jayhawks, and the growth I’ve seen in her has been incredible. She has not only learned a tremendous amount about cheer, but has also built confidence, discipline, and determination. The coaches do an amazing job teaching hard work and perseverance, and she is constantly pushing herself while seeing the rewards of her effort.
I also really value how physically challenging the practices are. They’re a true workout, and I love that my daughter is being pushed in that realm—learning what it means to work hard physically while building healthy habits that will stick with her for years. The Jayhawks program has been such a positive experience for both of us, and I’m grateful for the supportive, encouraging environment they create.

We love Atlanta Jayhawks! My daughter just started her third year on full year comp at Jayhawks- Grayson Gym and we are so excited! The friendships our whole family have made are incredible and lifelong! This gym truly feels like family! Her coaches pour so much into these girls…not only in cheer but also in helping them to be the best they can be in every aspect of their lives to be more successful women! They honestly care deeply about these girls. 33 years and still going strong- Go Jayhawks!

Cheer & Dance Atlanta / The Atlanta Jayhawks has had such a positive influence on our daughter. She jumped in to a full year team right away and has loved it - she just completed her first year.
The coaches (Carolyn, Rick and Keith) are incredibly skilled, supportive, and passionate. They not only teach top-notch routines but also build confidence, discipline, and teamwork. The owner often says the gym’s goal is “to build confident kids; because confident kids make better decisions”. We love this philosophy and have incorporated it outside the gym. I personally love the workouts my daughter is doing - setting a familiarity with strength building that will carry her throughout life. Finally, my daughter has made some wonderful friendships at the gym - great little humans with awesome families. We are grateful for this network of engaged families.
Highly recommend to any family looking for a program that combines excellence with heart!

In a city like Atlanta, there’s no shortage of cheer gyms to choose from — but what sets Atlanta Jayhawks apart is the way they prioritize what really matters: heart, character, and community. From the moment our daughters walked through the doors, we knew this gym was different. The coaches and staff don’t just build strong athletes — they pour into each child, helping them grow as confident, respectful, and resilient young people.
Every week, our girls run into the gym excited and leave even more full of joy and pride. The environment is so positive and encouraging, and it’s clear the coaches are all in — not just for the wins, but for the growth and heart of every athlete.
After three seasons, we’re so thankful to be part of the Jayhawks family. The lessons, memories, and friendships formed here will stay with us long after the season ends.

My daughter started out on half year last year when she was in kindergarten. I was a little apprehensive about her being on full year this season with her being so young but she has grown so much as a 1st grader and has gained many skills quickly. Coach Cameron was so excited the other day when she got her back handspring! It’s encouraging for her to see how proud her coach is of her! Her confidence has also grown. She loves her team and all the girls! It's important to me that my daughter truly loves being a Jayhawk, and she loves her cheer coaches which makes me happy!

My sister and I cheered at this gym for 13 years and it became our home away from home! Very family oriented and coaches that really care about their athletes. Our time as Jayhawks helped us grow both as athletes and as humans. I gained the skills to carry my cheerleading endeavors into college! Love this gym!

Have been a pert of this gym as an athlete myself many years ago and now happy to call Jayhawks home for my daughter!
No where else we would rather be! This gym truly is a family!
My daughter has been a part of the Jayhawks program for 7 seasons now and has grown not only as an athlete but learned so many valuable lessons off the mat as well thanks to the amazing coaches and staff!

My daughter loves cheering at the Jayhawks gym. Each year she navigates new teams, teammates, and coaches while building confidence and character. She has participated in various tumble classes, stretch classes, and stunt classes through the years and experienced supportive coaches at all levels who have safely pushed her to be the best version of herself. She has progressed consistently and learned that hard work and determination pays off.

We love JayHawks! My daughter started her cheer journey on a half-year team in 3rd grade, and fell in love with the sport and gym. She progressed more in 4 months at this gym than she did in 3 years taking tumbling at a local gymnastics facility. She is now in her 5th year of full-year competition cheer, and she is happy and continues to grow in her skills each year. The team mentality of competitive cheer requires a high level of commitment on part of the athletes and their families, but we have found this gym to be a good balance between developing hard-working athletes and well-rounded individuals. She loves her coaches like family, and some of her best friends have been made in this cheer gym.

This gym has been fantastic for my daughter in her cheer and tumbling journey! Supportive coaches. The coaches really have their eyes open for opportunities for these girls to grow and push them to do so. I'm so happy with the development I've seen in my daughter since joining Jayhawks. Front desk staff is approachable and helpful. And if you value communication, this is the gym for you. For any upcoming events or changes I get timely notifications in multiple different ways.

We found the gym through Groupon and decided to try it out. My daughters are 4 and 12. We’ve attended 2 sessions and both of them love this gym so far. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Both my daughters have had great interactions with the coaches. We plan to stay at this gym.

Started off very promising. I eventually found the positivity to be all lip service. There is a lack of clear, organized communication from the owner down. Often didn’t have times or places to meet after start times, wasn’t notified of coach changes even though you drop your child alone at the gym. For the price you pay, you do not receive a requisite product.

The coaches here genuinely care about their athletes and their successes. My daughter cheered for Jayhawks from elementary school all the way through high school and this place is family. If you want a place to teach your children selflessness, hard work and the true meaning of being a part of a team, this is the place.

I put my daughter In cheer here in October of 2018 . I paid EVERYTHING up front . Every month they kept billing me over and over for things I’ve already paid for and every time I had to go through having them redo all my information and resend my new monthly fee . This happened every time .
Then it’s only been a month and my daughter has not been in weeks due to her behavior. So I decided to remove her . I asked for a refund on the money that was paid up front for things they haven’t even done . They never received their shirts , not the uniform or nothing . They told me sorry were not refunding you but will gladly take your daughter off the team .
To me that is absolutely unacceptable and very unprofessional. I hate that it’s the nearest cheer available.
These people are so uptight and rude . They practically stole hundreds of dollars from me and my family for something she didn’t even get to attend . I don’t recommend this place unless your a stuck up , uptight person like them . Then it’s perfect for you.

My Daughter has been with Jayhawks for 3 years now. She started out with the half year team and now on her 2nd year with full year team. From not knowing any tumble skills and being an extremely shy girl... to now looking up to her coaches as her role models and knowing how to do tumble skills. We have gained so many friends as a Jayhawk Athlete!! Truly recommend the gym!!

My daughter began her cheer journey with Jayhawks a little over a year ago- what started as a $29 Groupon tumbling class, has turned into a ❤️ I’ve never seen my daughter have- not only for the sport; but a love for her teammates and her coaches as well. #jhfamily
