Local enthusiasm

is so great that TUCS recently relocated to a larger, 10,000-square-foot

facility off Robinson Road in Fayetteville simply to handle the sheer

number of all-stars, tumblers and school teams who choose to train under

the industry renowned coaching staff assembled there.

The best of

the best will fly, twist, tumble and strut their way from city to city

competing against other all-star teams equally as eager. Those who are

fortunate enough to earn the national title earn not only the adoration

of their fans but also the bragging rights that go along with such an

honor as competition for talented athletes from gym to gym is high.

"It's

not all about winning," says Stella, "but winning a national

championship title after just two years in business is evidence in our

minds that we are doing something right for these kids. Our coaching philosophy

combines technical skill, conditioning, strength training and self-motivation.

Our goal is truly to help each athlete discover strengths within themselves

and recognize the rewards of hard work and dedication. These qualities

will help them throughout life."

TUCS has grown

from one competitive team their first year, to three their second year

to an impressive nine competitive cheer and dance teams this year and

are positioned to pose a legitimate threat on the cheer and dance circuit.

"Our teams compete against gyms from all over the country many of

which have won many, many national titles," said TUCS Booster Club

President Karol Jones of Tyrone, whose three children all cheer on TUCS

teams. "Our name is new but our teams are advancing very quickly

and mastering skills that typically take years to perfect. We are all

very excited about the upcoming season."

In addition

to expanding teams, TUCS has also expanded its list of notable coaches

this season. Qualified, experienced cheer coaches are as sought after

in cheerleading as football coaches on the gridiron. TUCS' successes have

undoubtedly contributed to the attraction for many of the industry's top

coaches who have made their way to the gym. Most recently, TUCS announced

the addition of Mike Johnson to their staff.

"Mike

brings with him an amazing resume including almost 20 years of cheer and

dance experience," said TUCS General Manager Kelli Pollock, herself

an industry renowned name who chose to join the TUCS staff this past spring.

"From college cheerleading and coaching, including more than thirty

national titles, choreography and judging experience, Mike has it all.

His dance and choreography talents are as well known as Lance's stunt

choreography abilities. We are truly very fortunate to have someone of

his caliber on the TUCS staff. The addition of Mike Johnson will make

a significant difference to all of our teams."

TUCS' season

begins with an exhibition Saturday, Sept. 20, from 1-4 p.m. at Southlake

Mall in Morrow. Anyone interested in TUCS all-star cheerleading teams

and/or tumbling classes can call the gym directly at 770-716-1288 or visit
